I don't know if someones already said this but PLEASE include more then just rules gore, body horror and nudity in your permissions. I noticed this on over half the profiles/perms I've gone through to make a tracker.
Permissons are hard to write right off the bat, because you don't really think of what you hate immediately. But that doesn't mean there are a TON of things you NEED to add for your own safety.
Perms are NOT to restate artfight TOS.
They are to state what filtered and non filtered content on the platform you are and aren't okay with. Not including something in your permissions doesn't mean "yes, no, or ask" it means no one knows jow you feel about it.
How you feel about ALL FILTERED CONTENT CATEGORIES. This includes Moderate vs Extreme. If you do not know what these are, you need to go back through the filter guide.
What "sensitive content" actually means. I have no issues with people writing drugs or smoking, but I have severe insectaphobia. Sensitive content covers a LOT of topics and you need to specify WHAT that actually means for you. Someone may be fine with drug but be terrified of bugs. Someone may be fine with needles UNLESS they are photo realistic. You ALSO need to STATE you are okay with EVERYTHING in Senstive Content if you are! NOT adding something to your permissions doesn't mean people assume your fine with it!
Yes, No, and Ask, preferably colour coded and at least obviously separated. This may sound stupid but the amount of profiles I've seen who's permissions are hard to read (as someone who struggles with reading on devices or small text) is insane. No one is clicking off because your permissions don't match the colours of your profile, people will if they are hard to read or unclear what's what. COLOUR CODE THESE PLEASE.
Eyestrain! The amount of people who NEVER include this (both on filtered images and perms) is horrible. Tell people if this is okay or not! Tag your images! If someone doesn't have this in their perms ALWAYS PM before. Eyestrain warnings are mainly for people with epilepsy, but can include other conditions like migraines. Tag and add to perms!
Anything else that isn't within filtered content, such as ship/interaction art (canon, non canon, from media, other peoples ocs, etc), mass attacks, genderswaps, species swaps, how much someone is allowed to edit a character, perms around types of attacks (such as physical attacks needing to be shipped or not, if you will pay for shiping, what forms of attacks you do not want, etc). This is needed even if it's not filtered content, because no one wants to spend this much time on an attack only to find out they did something wrong.
"No whitewashing my characters"
These should not be your perms, because these are already against artfights rules. You can include them but this is NOT what perms are for.
ALL FILTERED CONTENT OPTIONS NEED TO BE STATED IN SOME FORM WITHIN YOUR PERMISSIONS.
DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE UNDERSTANDS SOMETHING NOT PLACED ON YOUR PERMISSIONS, THEY DON'T.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FILTERED CONTENT OPTIONS ARE, READ THE FILTER GUIDE ON THE HOME PAGE.
If you have to choose between one more character or actually writing out good permissions, choose permissions
