As forums go, we follow the same basic rules. The idea is communitaction, not witless babbling.
Important rules
- Don't break any national or interational laws. Let's keep it legal. And avoid talking as if you're planning to break them.
- Please don't leech off other sites. Images that you want to post on the forum should be hosted on your own webspace, unless you have permission.
www.photobucket.com and www.imageshack.com are both good free web based image hosting sites. We recommend these two sites if you have no webspace of your own.
Otherwise simply provide a text-based link to the image.
General rules
- Keep spamming to a minimum.
- No trolling or encouraging it.
- No racist, sexist or discriminate comments.
- No posting ENTIRELY IN CAPITALS
- No flaming other members or their works.
- Do not harass, stalk or abuse any other members in any way.
- Don't abuse the smileys, and keep image sizes reasonable
- Don't link to or post any innapropriate/non work-safe content (i.e. porn)
- You're advised not to post your personal information, for safety reasons and do NOT post other members' personal information without their consent.
- Text talk / l337 sp34k is not allowed. Please post in legible english.
- Please use the private messaging system to have conversations specifically with other members, rather than using or making a new thread.
- Don't post on threads that have been inactive for more than 2 - 3 weeks, unless they're sticky, or exempt from this rule, in which case you will be informed.
Avatars & signatures
- The maximum user avatar size is 100x100pixels. Animated signatures should be a reasonable file size.
- Banners aren't allowed. They are TABOO!
- Text in signatures shouldn't be more than 5 lines long of full text.
Displaying your work on the forum
In the Urban Art forums, when posting your work, you can
a) Post a link to the deviation on DeviantArt.com, using the deviation's URL address
b) Post a URL address link to the image on your own hosting or an image hosting site.
c) (ONLY if the image is on your own hosting!) Post the actual image using the image tags like this: [img]http://image URL[/img]
With this last option, do NOT use a deviation URL from DeviantArt, because it uses their bandwith. Anyone found doing this will have the image deleted and a warning from us.
Help
If you need help, have seen these rules broken or think that you've been unfairly/badly treated, don't hesitaed to contact a moderator or admin.
If it's really serious you can email me using the address on my profile. _________________ URBANISM-ZERO 2005 |
