How we treat each other here
artsytells is a small, friendly place. These are the rules that keep it that way — in plain words, no fine print.
Be kind, on purpose
Every reaction and comment is something a real person reads. If you wouldn't say it across the table, don't type it here.
Grown-ups can see your art
That's not a punishment — it's how we keep this place safe. Your parent or teacher can see everything you make and share.
Sharing is your choice
Drawings start private. Nobody sees them until you decide to share, and only your friends ever can.
Friends are people you know
No strangers, no searching, no random adds. A grown-up okays new friends first.
Something feels off? Tell us
See the little flag on a drawing or comment? Tap it. A grown-up looks at every report.
Your name is just a nickname
We never ask for your real name, your email, or where you live. Keep it that way.
"It's okay to feel weird sometimes. Tell me what's on your mind."
What happened?
Safe by design
Your drawings start private — only on your device. Nothing is shared with anyone unless you choose to, and (once accounts exist) a grown-up approves it.
When reporting is live, anything flagged goes to a grown-up — your teacher or parent — who decides what to do.
