+====8.8 Starlight Market Category====
+Starlight Commons monitors and hosts a Discord category titled 'Starlight Market' as a moderated space for users to buy, trade, and sell art, items, and/or characters. However due to the size of our team and our desire to keep the space orderly and safe, we do NOT allow users to post any ads that are not 100% Starlight Commons related. We understand that this is strict, but we are unable to moderate or monitor the rules of other species and artists. This strict stipulation is to ensure the market space can be consistently managed. We do this specifically so Starlight Commons is not enabling Terms of Service abuses of other communities without our knowledge. Abuse of any channel in the 'Starlight Market' category can result in a permanent ban from the advertising channels. Access to the 'Starlight Market' category is a privilege, not a right. Starlight Commons reserves the right to bar any user from using these channels because it is a non-essential service to participate in the ARPG.
+===8.8a Starlight Market Category Disciplinary System===
+The 'Starlight Market' Discord Category has its own disciplinary three strike system. This category's privileges are independent from all other ARPG privileges. Starlight Market Category strikes DO NOT affect your standing in the world, ARPG, or Discord. However, users banned from the Starlight Market Category can never regain this privilege as these bans are not contestable in appeals. Please refer to rule [[Community Behavior|4.2a Disciplinary Removal of Privilege]] for more details on our privileges policy and how privileges are defined.
+**Starlight Market Strike System:**
+\\ Strikes reset to 0 at the beginning of each calendar year. Users can receive up to two strikes; the third incident will result in a permanent ban from the market channels **#art-gallery, #stellian-exchange & #item-bazaar**.
+**Advertising After Starlight Market Privileges Removal:**
+\\ If users have lost market channel privileges and are seen advertising in other areas of the Discord server, the user will receive a permanent ban from the Starlight Commons Discord entirely. These bans are not contestable in appeals.
+**Starlight Marking Strike Discipline:**
+\\ Strike 1: Warning
+\\ Strike 2: Final Warning alongside a temporary kick from the server.
+\\ Strike 3: Loss of privilege to use the market channels.
+===8.8b Starlight Market Category Ad Policy===
+**Daily Total:** Advertisements cannot be posted more than **three (3) times** in #art-gallery, #stellian-exchange or #item-bazaar each within 24 hours.
+**Max Lines:** Advertisements must be written within a max of 11 lines.
+**Acceptable Advertisement Length:**
+\\ Advertisements over 11 lines are considered spam. The 11 lines include line breaks, empty spaces, and emojis to space out the post visually. Lengthy posts will be deleted as spam, the user will be notified, and the infraction will not be recorded against the user's Starlight Market Category privileges unless the rule is repeatedly broken within a short period of time.
+**Cross-Posting Advertisement:**
+\\ Members cannot cross-post ads in either market channel, and those that do will receive market strikes. Members must separate their advertisements to match the channel's  classification. Members cannot advertise any given [[Item Catalog|Item]], [[Stellaborn]], or commission work more than three (3) times a day.
+**No Closed Species [CS] Policy:**
+\\ All advertisements must be 100% Starlight Commons related; they can feature no other Closed Species characters or content of any kind. This includes but is not limited to the following:
