Internal ethics
Masters and Amateurs
- All new accounts have the status of "Basic" for some time, until the administrator changes the status to "Master".
- The authors on the site are divided into "Masters" and "Amateurs". This was invented not because we are such snobs, but because we are aimed at a specific audience of illustration customers, and it is easier for them to look for an author among professionals.
- Each author can upload 60 works to an amateur account. The "Master" account allows you to upload 250 works to the "Portfolio" section.
- In order to get the status of "Master" on our website, every professional author must have a large positive set of points for his work or have solid professional works in his portfolio. Only after that, the administrator will transfer such an account to the "Master". As well as back from the "Master" to the "Amateur" status, you can return if the work does not meet the declared quality.
- Only the "Master" can set up an "Amateur" to get a "Master" account in the Blogs section.
- We do not discuss that the division of authors into "Masters" and "non-Masters" is a humiliation of honor and dignity. We came up with this website and set the rules ourselves!
General rules
- Only the moderator decides which status is suitable for a particular author. Any disputes and appeals are not considered by the administration of the resource and may lead to the deletion of the account.
- The moderator has the right to remove or ban any author, or deprive him of the status of "Master" without explanation. The reason in 90% of cases may be the level of submitted works. The remaining 10% may include the author's behavior on the resource, posting other people's works in his portfolio, profanity, where there was no urgent need for it, advertising or spam, as well as any other unworthy norms of behavior on public resources.
- If the moderator is not sure of the correctness of the decision, then he can lay out disputable situations to the court of professional authors who will vote on what to do in each case. Controversial situations can arise only if the moderator is unsure of his decision, and not about the complaint sent against the actions of the moderator or other authors.
- There is a point system for evaluating user activity on the site. You can vote for a blog post or for a work in the author's portfolio. Each positive score received is not just a system for assessing the level of the author's skills and abilities, but also an incentive to be active on the site, since the points make it possible for works, articles, news, entries in a personal blog to appear on the main page of the site. This means that they allow the author to be always in sight for potential customers. It is forbidden to artificially inflate points using virtual accounts and groups of "friends" organized on third-party resources, if the administration detects such violations, the account of such an author will be deleted with all the works that he put on the site.
- To combat spam and trolling, we prohibit commenting anywhere on the site until the author has scored +25 points for his work.
- The only possible way to get ratings for the rating on the site are the works of the author.
- The appearance of an entry (Blog post) on the main page of the site is possible only after the entry has scored more than 10 points.
- The appearance of an illustration on the main page of the site is possible after the site administrator transfers the work to the category of "Editors' Choice" or when 25 votes are reached. We do not have discussions on why someone's work was not included in the "Editors' Choice" and what are the criteria for this choice. We carry out a certain policy and form the core of authors using this section, depending on the conjuncture.
- The concept of art (painting) and illustration is very often confused. We pay special attention to illustrations and it is the illustrations that come into focus on our website.
- It is forbidden to publish advertising links, including your portfolio on other sites or spam in any form. It is also prohibited to advertise your account on this site in the "Work" or "Blogs" section.
- The moderator has the right to delete any post or illustration, if he considers it necessary. Most often this can happen due to the poor quality of the post or illustration.
- We are all living people and we can make mistakes. Therefore, we do not regulate obscene language, if there were grounds for it. In this regard, communication on the site is controlled by elementary rules of decency. If the statements turn to personal insults, then such an account is banned until a public apology. Incitement of ethnic hatred, obscene language in an offensive form is prohibited.

Such works will be deleted in order to avoid unnecessary disputes and conflicts. However, each specific case will be considered individually, since such requests can indiscriminately become a mass phenomenon.
- The site is called llustra.com , which means illustrators. In this regard, it is forbidden to post works in your account that have little to do with illustration, including wall paintings, paintings, icons, boxes, toys, design in any video, and so on. To do this, sometimes it looks like a “Blog” section, or for similar works we will create a separate thread in the future with the name “Art” or “Design”.
- Without appeals and clarification of circumstances, an account is banned or deleted, on behalf of which aggressive, rude and purposeful incitement of conflicts on the site proceeds. Any insults to other users, attempts to destabilize the situation in cunning ways (substitution of authors' names, exposure of other people's works, provoking aggression and clarification of relations, posts that do not concern illustrators and illustrations).
- Phenomena related to the emotional mood of the conflicting parties will be punished by ban or explanatory work.
