Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture
The Big Rules
The goal of Dieselpunks is to help the *punk community grow and prosper.
We do this in three ways. One, by making it easy to find the information that defines our movement. Two, by solidifying the community via forums and live events. And third, by promoting the artists we love.
Rule #1
Don't be a dick. If you're not sure about something while using Dieselpunks, refer to this rule before proceeding. The admins have been instructed to shoot first and ask questions later.
Rule #2
The Lingua Franca of this website is English, but the forums are open to all languages. The admins speak English, Russian, and French. If you're having an issue and need a translator, let us know.
Rule #3
Do not upload copyrighted material to Dieselpunks. This not only refers to music in your MyPage jukebox, but also covers videos and images. If you're not sure about something, discretion is the better part of valor. The penalty for hosting copyrighted material can equal the termination of this website, so please be careful.
Rule #4
Dieselpunks does not support racism or prejudice in any form. If a piece of media is added to the site concerning Nazis or other related organizations, it is for historical purposes only. See Rule #1 for details.
Rule #5
If you don't know something, then ask. Be bold! Ask a stupid question once in a while. We all need to start somewhere.
Rule #6
Articles are for use by Dieselpunks' administrators and lieutenants. Any articles written by members will need to be approved before going live, so it's always best to post your updates in the forums instead of the articles section.
If you have a question about how to do something on the website, send me a message and I'll start a FAQ on this forum with the answers.

Tome,
I have published two articles on this wonderful forum and was wondering if I could copy them for my own storytelling blog? I would rather ask first. I am used to selling technical articles and when I do, I relinquish the rights.
Thank everyone for providing a soapbox that keeps creative juices flowing.

John,
You wrote it. Your name stays on it. You own it. Them's the rules.
No shackles here, paper or otherwise.

Is it possible to make "editing" of an approved article not to require second approval? I believe our community is rather well-behaving, and sometimes you do not notice simple mistakes...

I had an issue with an editor a few years ago.
He would write something, we would approve it, then he would go back and change it to whatever he wanted and none of us knew about the changes until people complained. The re-approval process puts a check-and-balance system on that kind of abuse to keep it from happening again.

Okay, understood. Anyway, it leads to higher level of self-discipline:)
