ANNOUNCEMENT: All Twitter/X links banned (and most screenshots)
After a community discussion surrounding the antics of Twitter/X owner Elon Musk, followed by a community vote, the mod team has updated the rules to:
- Ban all Twitter links.
- Ban all Twitter screenshots (with an exception for screenshots from an official Sega account, an official Sonic account, or an account representing a business working with Sega, such as IDW).
If you try sharing a Twitter link, your post/comment will be automatically thrown into our mod queue for manual review. The content will then be removed.
Please note that we will not ban anyone for sharing Twitter links/screenshots unless there's evidence showing nefarious intentions.
If you are looking to share a piece of fan art from Twitter, there's a good chance the artwork is available on another one of the artist's social media profiles, such as their Tumblr, Instagram, Pixiv, DeviantArt, or BlueSky. You are free to share the artwork from one of their other profiles.
Please reach out to the modmail if you have any questions!

EDIT: It should go without saying: don't harass artists who only post on Twitter or who post on Twitter in general. As someone who takes fan art commissions myself, I am well aware that most of our commissions come through Twitter, for better or worse. Don't use this as an excuse to go after fan artists.
