IMPORTANT READING
- Be sure your post title includes a short description of image content.
- Give detailed info. In the message body, include something about the images: story, what camera, what settings, circumstances, lighting... something.
- Be aware that many people view this forum at work or at home with young children. Always post a warning such as (violent) in the thread title if your images may contain subject matter that could be deemed objectionable.
- Glamour & Nude forum should always be used for glamour, nude and erotic photos which are not family safe (i.e. do not post them to People). Nude/erotic photos posted to People will be removed.
- Do not post the same image in multiple forums or in multiple posts. The end result will most likely be one of the threads being deleted by a moderator.
- Do not post another photographer's photos without permission from that photographer. Any photos violating copyright laws will be removed.
- If you do not have written permission to edit that photo, or the member has not placed the words "Image Editing OK" in their signature, you may not edit that photo and post the edited photo back. This applies to ALL FORUMS.
- When quoting posts that have photos, please take a minute to remove the [URL] tags, or just remove the reference to the photo altogether. There's no reason to have the same photo quoted time and again in a thread.
