Hi there, welcome to the flags and userboxes account! This is our account where we make flags, userboxes, coin terms and help people figure out stuff about themselves!
More information below!
Mod information
Hello, we are The Mechanical Cosmos. We're a heavily researched system fluid collective of 50+. You can either refer to us directly by using the names of each person, or you can just use Jack universally, as that's the host's preferred name. Pronouns are different for each of us but he/it is generally okay for everyone. That or they/them, though we do use we/us when referring to ourselves.
We would give our pronouns page, but the point of this is that people don't know our main account, as we are out to a total of only the people we know on discord, and that is it. Our plural account is @the-mechanical-cosmos
We will be tagging which mod posts what, just so you know who is who. All mods are part of the same plural collective as of currently, if this changes we will say.
Stances
We are against system discourse, and it will not be tolerated here. We have a neutral opinion of all forms of plurality, we do not actively support or not support any kinds of systems or plurality. If it doesn't harm people, it doesn't affect us.
We are anti hate/harassment, so if you are any sort of terf or homophobe, please do not interact. Yes, homophobe does include trans/ace phobia, as well as those who don't support xenogenders.
!We do not gatekeep our terms, we just respectfully ask you not to interact with us if you don't. You may still use our terms, but this does not change our stance on those topics!
We stay out of discourse, but want to make it clear that anyone outside of our DNI (see previous paragraph) are allowed to use them. Discourse makes us uncomfortable. Please do not drag us into it. We are just here to make terms for people to use.
Rules
1. Please be respectful. We will gladly block you, do not test us.
2. Keep things generally appropriate for all ages. We are bodily a minor, despite many of us being over the age of 18. If you are uncomfortable with that, please do not interact. Most of us are alright with nsfw, and we will make sure those who are not will not deal with it. But again, bodily, we are a minor as of current, and our host is as well.
3. You don't need to give credit when using any terms, but we would enjoy credit for the coining if asked, as well as the making of the userboxes
4. If you have a specific image you would like something based on, please send it along with your request. Whether it's an image for a userbox, of an image for a color palette of a flag.
5. Please specify if you would like to remain anonymous if you send it in with an image. Otherwise we will simply answer the ask once it is done.
6. Any kind of flags are alright, as long as it isn't harmful in any way. We are willing to make anti-flags and anti-userboxes for those who ask, as long as it doesn't actively harm certain communities. For example, we will make a userbox saying that a used/system is anti-radqueer, or anti-endo, but we will not make any that are anti-lgbtq, anti-xenogender, stuff like that. We will also not make any transIDs that are harmful. Once again, we are a neutral party. What we support, and what we do not allow, are not always the same. We may not support most transIDs, as they are often harmful, but that doesn't mean we won't make any that aren't actively harmful. We will not make any like those ‘trans school shooter’ ones or anything along those lines.
7. We do not condone harassment here. If we see you harassing someone for using one of our userboxes, terms or flags, you will be blocked and reported, no exceptions.
Quick note
We have many alterhuman people, so we will gladly make any sort of alterhuman flags or userboxes, as well as xenogenders, sexuality/romantic flags, etc. We will also gladly work with you if you do not like a design for your request. We can also make versions of already made flags for those who don't like the original design, as we have personal experience with flags that cause issues due to the way the color scheme is, as well as simply not liking it. Feel free to ask.
