A number of members have been using the site to advertise their products or web sites, and we do not condone this.

To clear up any ambiguity on this issue we are publishing the following rules regarding the use of this site to "advertise" a product or web site.

Members may not post advertisements or URL's on/in:

• Their pictures or picture titles
• Their videos
• The notice board
• The forums
• Any of the chat rooms
• Any comments they leave on pics or videos or blogs
• Their own blogs (unless advertising the URL is not for commercial gain)
• Private message "Spamming" (unsolicited mail)

We do not mind if you want to mention a URL in your profile, but your profile should not be written in any way that could be construed as advertising or an effort to persuade users to a particular URL.

We'd like to remind you that we do offer advertising at very competitive rates through our "advertising" link in the top right hand corner of each page. We also have a free toplist which you can use to share traffic with us.

Member names that constitute domain names are also not acceptable.

Exceptions to these rules may be allowed under certain circumstances at the discretion of management.

Notice Board rules:

Posts must be "Notices" i.e. they are short notes that can be deemed by most as announcements of interest to the greater community, and NOT directed at a few individuals (PMs or the Forum are for that purpose.)

Posts must NOT:

• Mention anyone’s real name or phone number or address
• Mention a URL or other web site
• Mention an illegal activity or substance such as but not limited to child pornography, drugs, crimes, terrorism, use of firearms.
• Contain any derogatory comments regarding or directed to another member of the site
• Contain any "hate speak" about any group or race

Status Update Rules:

Status Updates must be just that i.e. short snippets of text that tell others what you are doing or thinking at that point in time. We DO NOT allow you to post URLS or advertisments of any kind in status updates.

Status Updates must NOT:

• Mention anyone’s real name or phone number or address
• Mention a URL or other web site
• Mention any email address
• Mention an illegal activity or substance such as but not limited to child pornography, drugs, crimes, terrorism, use of firearms.

• Contain any "hate speak" about any group or race
• Contain any text deisgned to solicit people to view your profile.
  
  

Chat Room Rules:

There are a few rules that we have introduced for setting behavioral standards in the chat room.

While not being overly restrictive, these rules clearly define for both users and moderators what is unacceptable behavior.

Anyone seen breaching these rules is opening themselves to be removed from the room by a moderator. A moderator must identify themselves as such and provide one public warning before removing or "booting" the offending person from the room.

Unacceptable behavior is defined as:

• Any derogatory comments regarding or directed to another user in the room or member of the site
  
  
• Any behavior which harasses, intimidates or bullies other users
  
  
• Any reference to child pornography, such as an external link or discussion of the subject of child pornography
  
  
• Any reference to illegal activity such as drugs, terrorism etc, whether it be a link or discussion on illegal activities
  
  
• Requesting chat on "taboo" subjects such as incest, underage or beastiality
  
  
• Continuing to send private PRV messages to someone that has asked you to stop.
  
  
• Any behavior that can be seen to be disruptive to the normal operation of the room such as spamming links, text or spoofing usernames with alternative characters.
  
  
• Refusing to answer your age if asked
  
  
• Talking "hate speak" about any group or race
  
  
• Spamming URLs for other sites
  
  
• Logging in with an obscene username such as "fuckyouall"
  
  
• Posting email addresses or IM names/IDs.
  
  For your own personal security and enjoyment of other chatters, email addresses and IM names/IDs must only be exchanged in PRV
  
  
  

Moderators are not exempt from rules. They should set the standard for all behavior. They also have additional rules of their own. They must:

• Not use their abilities for fun. (e.g. Boot wars)
  
  
• Clearly identify themselves as a moderator as they enter into a situation where they are acting as such. (e.g. Before asking age, or requesting people to stop PRVing.)
  
  
• Provide a public warning before using moderating powers on a user, giving them a chance to correct their behavior. (This also demonstrates to the room that moderating powers are not being applied unfairly.)

We are open to suggestions for rules that may need to be implemented.

If you feel you have been booted unfairly from the room, please use the support system to advise us.

Your pictures/videos are not welcome, and will be removed if they:

• Contain Animals in sexual activity
• Contain an email address, URL or URL's in the pic, title or comments
• Contain Faeces (poo).
• Contain stained underwear
• Contain blood
• Are out of focus
• Are otherwise of poor photographic quality (eg: very low resolution or over / under exposed)
• Are a "revenge" pic (such as a pic posted by an ex boyfriend to embarrass the subject)
• Are digitally modifed such as placing one persons head on another's body (identity protection such as facial covering or blurring & color effects are ok)
Has any suggestion of incest or family relations this includes names in the title such as father, mother, son, daughter (incl. step), brother, sister, cousin, uncle, aunt. Depict any illegal activities

Please be sure not to upload pics that contain any of the above. They will be removed, and in the case of minors or other illegal activity - your IP address WILL be reported to the police.

Photo Verification Rules:

1) Post an NN stamped pic that is obviously you and is representative of your other pics. The NN must not be added to the photo afterwards.

2) The pics must also contain your NN username and, again, it must not be added afterwards. This is to help stop your pics from being reused by others for verification.

3) We require at least 2 shots of the same NN and username (as it appears on your account - no abbreviations) from different angles.

Note: There has been some confusion in the past about this requirement. To put it in other words, we need to see two photos, from different angles, of the SAME username sign. The actual same sign. EG. if you write "SexyUser NN" on your belly, we need to see that photographed from say the left and then the right. It does not mean make two signs with the same text content.

4) Make sure you upload it into the category called "verification submissions". This category is used to find the pics requiring verification.

5) If you post pics in your gallery of your partner(s) you must also include them in your verification submission pics.

6) It is preferable to see the NN handwritten and not printed on a piece of paper. Otherwise it becomes difficult for us to tell whether the NN is real.

7) Members must have at least 5 pics in their gallery (in addition to the verification request pics) in order to qualify for verification.

If there is any doubt as to the authenticity of the NN stamp and whether it is the same person as the other pics we will not verify.

Verifying is now done once a week and the same member of staff does it so everyone is judged in a consistent fashion.

We feel that a high standard should be maintained in this area so if you see a verified poster who is posting pics that aren't their own we would like to hear about it via the site support system and we will remove gold shields as we have done in the past!
