General Forum Rules - Reminder

[jessie4289]

**Complaints have been received by some members concerning rule 3 and we send this out again as a warning**

1. No flaming, racist, sexist, or offensive language/ behaviour is allowed.

2. Please try to refrain from religious or poltiical debates on this forum.  We do understand youth is concerned with that though and we are not forbidding this. We do warn though, that any post that does not give respect to anothers opinion could result in termination of your account.  Simply -- be respectful and we will all have fun!
 Remember: people have different interests,  but please respect your fellow members even if you do not agree with them.

3. Do not add people to your personal instant messenger friends list  without obtaining their permission. Simply, drop them a pm or email and ask to add them.  Also, no posting of email or messenger addresses. If you wish to exchange them with other members, please do it privately via PM or email.

4. Fill out your profile truthfully. If you do not follow this rule, your account will be deleted immediately and you will be banned from our domain.

5. No advertising other sites without permission of the staff.

6. No begging for naturist photos.

7. Anyone uploading malicious softwear or programs will be immediately banned from this forum.

8. Generally speaking, this forum is for the younger crowd whether that be generation Y, or X.  That means, up to age 38 is fine to register but members who go past that, who are positive contributory, are active and leaders will certainly be made exceptions. We value you!  

9. Webcams: We STRONGLY recommend that you do not accept webcam requests from anyone who is not known to you.  Further, do not beg people to cam, or, turn on your cam without prior approval. If any complaints result from this rule, the offender's account may be subject to termination.

10. Upon joining you are required to post an introduction in the main introduction thread as it helps other members in getting to know you and gives everyone a chance to welcome you to the community. Please note, anyone who is not able to do this, will have their account automatically deleted within a short time.

11. References to other naturist forums: As we all know, many members here are also (or have been) members of other naturist forums on the internet. Some are undoubtedly current and active members, while others, for whatever reason, are no longer members of these other sites. In the spirit of keeping this a friendly forum, please use discretion, maturity, and common sense when mentioning other naturist forums in discussions here.

We understand that occasionally specific sites will be mentioned by name, and in keeping with the expected maturity of our members we ask that no severely negative or otherwise inappropriate remarks be posted.

It is understandable that we all have differing opinions of other naturist forums, but no matter how strongly you feel personally about a specific site, please keep in mind that while they may be less then what they claim at times, we arent in the business of dissing other sites, depite proven illegitmacy of some.

12.  Email accounts.  All members of this community must have a working, functional email account.  To not have one, shows that the person is not someone who really is interested in this community and communication.  Any email which is returned to us as 'bouncing' will result in the member's account being automatically deleted.

13.  No photos or videos portraying pornographic actions or poses to be posted in topics or the gallery. This is a youth forum with young members. Please think about it.

Now the obligatory "tough guy" talk: We obviously don't want to have to discipline anyone on here for any reason, however any inappropriate comments will be dealt with in accordance with our site policies.

Our Requests:

Search Before You Post
If you want to ask a specific question, please search the site using the search found up top, next to home - help - search to make sure the answer isn't already out there! If you search and find some answers but believe they're incomplete or out of date, feel free to create post a new topic.

Courteous Communication
Communicating on the Web in an all-text medium is a challenge, and it's always good to think twice before you hit that "Post" button. Realize that each time you reply, you're replying to a real person, with real feelings just like yourself. Try to write messages that cannot be easily misunderstood or misconstrued to mean something you didn't mean. And please, please use descriptive subject lines when you post a new topic!

Post in the appropriate forum.
Please take the time to read the forum descriptions and post your new topics to the appropriate forum. A moderator may see fit to move your post to a more appropriate forum.  If we happen to move a post, don't publicly throw a tantrum concerning it... contact us if you believe it was moved in error.

Avatars
You have many options here.  You can not have one at all if you wish!  Since this is a naturist forum, nude avatars are fine here but nothing which might be considered as a close up of the pubic area is allowed. Why? Because it draws attention to that part of the bod and simply, thats not what this forum is about.  So, think about it please.  Thanks!

Galleries
Access to the galleries comes in time to most.  We have them actually but the thing is, we dont want people to drop by, register, and then go straight to the galleries and thats it. This is a forum after all and while good photography has always been an integral part of real naturism, your primary purpose here has to be, must be, for interaction and contribution.  So, after you are settled in, get acquainted and get to posting and contibuting, then those galleries will probably open up to you automatically (keyword folks) . If its simply photos you wish, there are a million other sites out there, some great, some not so great but you can find them!  Thanks for understanding.

**IMPORTANT**
Size of individual photos that you may upload, is limited to 100KB. Photos sent up for approval that are in excess of that, will unfortunately be deleted.  If you need help in resizing, simply email a staff member. Thankyou!



If you have any questions, please contact a staff member.
