Forum Rules
To make everyones time here on BM much more enjoyable, please follow these simple rules. These are in addition to the site rules.
--------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------- Global Rules - These rules apply to every forum unless otherwise specified within the given section.
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Spam is evil: Spamming unsolicited advertisements anywhere on bodyNsoulModels.com will get you banned. "Vote for me" and "Vouch for me" posts are considered spam.
Your Photos Suck: Unsolicited critiques anywhere on the site is a big no-no.
No SHOUTING: (Posting in all capital letters) Especially in thread titles. It's hard to read and annoying.
THREAD HIJACKING: Don't do it! Off topic posts should be limited whenever possible. Repeated or egregious violations may get you brigged.
No CUSSING in the thread title: Keep it clean crackers. This includes filtered words like f*@k! Internet acronyms are okay though. WTF GTFO.
Post in the proper forum: Post to the forum that is most appropriate for the topic being presented. Threads incorrectly placed will be moved or locked.
Once you hit the button, there's no going back: Forum threads will not be locked at the original posters request. This is unfair to all those that have taken the time to contribute to the thread.
Don't feed the trolls: You will find this rule on most every intraweb message board. The trolls thrive on your agitated responses. It's best to ignore them completely and go on your merry way. Don't be the sucker that takes the bait and ends up in the brig.
No outing/libel: While we would like bodyNsoulModels.com to be used as a resource to warn others of problem companies, people, etc. There are always two sides to a story. So we have to prohibit any side from being told. This is for our protection and yours as well. We don't want to have to deal with a libel lawsuit.
Harassment: If somebody is harassing you on the forums then discuss it with them over PM or email before contacting a mod about it. Flames and insults do not constitute harassment.
Private Information: Do not post PRIVATE INFORMATION (i.e. addresses, phone numbers, passwords, personal identification numbers, images) or any other information considered private without the express permission of the individual. You must respect the privacy of other members.
Hate Speech: Offensive terms may or may not be bannable based on context of the sentence. If they were meant as humor with absolutely no offensive slurs meant, the user may not be banned or probated. This rule is completely, 100% subjective and is based on the mod reading the post at the time. Use at your own peril.
NSFW (Not Safe For Work): Please refrain from posting any NSFW images directly in the forums. The includes 18+ photos, grotesque rotten.com style photos or anything of the like.
Spin off threads are lame (most of the time): a.k.a. Parody Threads. These threads are only allowed in OT. And even then you are playing with fire. Sometimes they are funny. Sometimes they get out of hand. One spin off thread is funny. Six is not. Just say no to forum clutter. Start too many spin off threads and you may take a vacation.
The Law: Observe all COPYRIGHT LAWS, TOS's and NDA's when posting copyrighted material. If the material belongs to someone else, credit the original author. Do not post messages that violate Federal, State, or Local laws which include, but are not limited to, anything that violates a copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or is bound by NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). You will not discuss, suggest, engage, or encourage any ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. Links provided to locations that deal with any such activity are also expressly forbidden.
Mod Respek: The mods are here to keep the forums safe, sane, and secure. Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the mods. If they ask you to do something, please do it.
--------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------- Industry Forum Rules - These rules apply to every forum under the "Industry Forums" header.
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
No BS: We would like to keep a nice balance between the fun and being resourceful. This is where the "Industry Forums" come in to play. All forums under this header are meant to be used for serious discussion only. Please think before you post and only hit the submit button if you have a well thought out contribution. Junk posts/threads do not belong here. These forums will be heavily moderated by the Forum Mods. If they feel someone is too much of a nuisance, the offender could be banned from the forums.
No drama: Keep the drama out of these forums. If you get into it with someone, please at least keep it civil. Or else both parties will be brigged.
