SUGGESTIONS
Feel free to send suggestions via PM to any moderator.
POSTING IN / CREATING THREADS
- Try to create threads in their appropriate section of the forum, e.g. don't post about comic books in the Bowen section, etc. Threads will be moved into their proper section by a MOD if necessary.
- Threads or posts with a political or religious tone may not be posted in any section of this forum. Such threads or posts will be deleted without warning.
- Multiple threads on a subject may be modified/deleted by a MOD to try and keep the forum as clutter free as possible.
- Constructive criticism is always welcome, but outright bashing will be frowned upon. Threads or posts considered out of line by a MOD will be modified or deleted.
- Please do not curse or use obscene language for any reason.
- Threads, posts, avatars, signatures or other pictures deemed offensive by a MOD, for any reason, will be deleted.
- When quoting other members, their posts may be edited for length, but please do not change the wording/meaning of their post.
- Please do not post pictures of items which are known to be recasts, or in any way advertise a known recaster’s work.
- Please do not use this site to promote yourself or your own site unless it is approved by a mod or admin.
- THINK BEFORE YOU POST. If what you are typing is not something you would say to someone’s face, or is not something you would appreciate being said to you, don't post it.
SUSPENSIONS
- Continual rules violations, or any actions deemed inappropriate by forum representatives, may result in the suspension or permanent revocation of membership on this forum.
Suspensions of varying lengths will be imposed by a MOD if
- A member blatantly breaches posted or understood rules. This includes B/S/T violations, being argumentative, obscene language, vulgar postings, general disruptive behavior, ignoring the requests of a forum representative, spamming, etc. Newer members will be given the benefit of the doubt and contacted about first infractions.
- A member is seen by the MODS to be a detriment to the forum. This will result from a member making no positive contributions, other members complaining about the individual, or the member repeatedly questioning the MODS decisions. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we welcome them, but if you are asked to stop doing/saying something, then stop. Plainly put, if you're not going to enjoy the site and are only going to be a bother to us, you're out (or, per CKinSD, "if you piss us off, you're out!").
- A member is believed to be participating in illegal/questionable activities, on OR off the forum (RECASTING/SELLING RECASTS especially). The forum does not wish to have any affiliation with individuals whom we believe to be involved in such activities.
- Please do not question, debate or discuss suspensions/bannings publicly. This includes anything from starting threads to using Avatars expressing your "disagreement" with our decision. Plainly put, it's our decision, not yours. We don't question how you raise your kids, do your job or manage your marriage. We expect the same courtesy. Any threads discussing suspensions/bannings will be deleted and members participating in any threads may be subject to suspension/banning.
BUY / SELL / TRADE
- A Buy/Sell/Trade section is available for Adamantium Members. Click the link for info.
- We request that NO threads or posts be created for the express purpose of buying, selling or trading merchandise be it personal or business related. Any and all such threads or posts will be deleted without notice and repeated offenses may result in suspension/banning.
- Please do not advertise or solicit for a retail business (either physical locations or online stores). If you are a store or business and would like to advertise with us please contact us at this email.
- An exception to this rule would be creating a thread to announce an exclusive item or other non-wide release items being made available through a single distributor. For example, threads announcing a Bowen, Sideshow or other similar exclusive being available for sale are permitted.
- We ask that you avoid putting lists of items you want or are selling into your signatures. Signature may be modified/deleted by a moderator if it is deemed inappropriate. Repeated offenses may result in suspension/banning.
- We ask that you follow these rules without question or complaint. Contact any Moderator if you have any questions or concerns about the policies.
EBAY GUIDELINES
- The eBay Marketplace section is available to post links to eBay auctions. Any member may do so there to push their own, or other auctions you find on eBay worth discussing.
- Please do not list ebay acutions anywhere else on the site.
- Adamantium Members have their auctions automatically listed in the eBay Marketplace forum.
- You may enter your ebay username in the "Edit Profile" section of the Board's UserCp. If you do, an icon will show up under your name in any thread you make a post in. Clicking this link will take you to a Statue Forum page showing the most recent 25 items you have for sale. This will alert other members that you have auctions up for sale, and let them look it over.
COMMISSION SCULPTS
- Sculptors, painters and collectors are invited to show their pieces in Sculptors Corner and Painters Corner. Please keep pics posted in licensed companies' sections to their products as far as possible, and refrain from posting commission sculpts in those sections. Due to licensing issues, we prefer that no blatent, explicit, obvious, any dumb fool could see what you're trying to do, open discussion of commissions take place on the forum. Anything else is all well and good.
COMMON SENSE
- Please use common sense. I know this is a relative term, but think before doing something. If you have seen people get suspended/banned for something, don't go and do whatever they did. If you are unclear/unsure about something, ask a MOD. They will always be happy to assist you.
OTHER
- This forum, while open to the public, is a privately owned entity and is run as such. By registering on and using this site, you acknowledge that any decisions made by the Administrators (ADMIN) or Moderators (MODS) on this board concerning threads, posts and membership rights are final.
- MODS are constantly discussing the guidelines we use for running the forum. But it must be made absolutely clear that it is not the place of the forum members to publicly question or challenge any decision. If there is a rule you don't understand, or a question you have (other than the reason for another member’s suspension) ask a MOD.
Please do not use actual names that are not yours as your handle. For example, Clint Eastwood, Randy Bowen, Queen Elizabeth III...
