10. Graphic Image Content: How To Appropriately Handle Posting It
A lot of us like to use graphics in our request threads be it for visual representations of a character, a scene, a pairing, anything. Others still like to use them in 'General Discussion' or other various sections for a slew of other reasons. The point, however, is this:
01) If you are creating a thread that contains graphics (this includes links to such graphics) of any kind that are explicit in content (and compliant with site rules), you MUST label the thread NSFW (not safe for work) or something along those lines so as to warn members that the thread contains such images.
02) If you are posting to an already created thread and your post contains graphics (again, this includes links to such graphics) of an explicit nature (and are compliant with site rules), you MUST place them behind a spoiler tag. To create a spoiler tag -- [spoiler ]text or image goes here[/ spoiler] (just remove the extra spaces and if there are questions, contact an admin (red name) or mod (green name). If a link is used in place of an image, a warning is MUST be used to let people know what it is they will be linking to.
03) When it comes to avatars and signatures, we ask that you refrain from nudity of any kind all together. It doesn't matter if this is an image of a model, anime or digital art. If there is nudity, DO NOT USE IT! If you do, it will be promptly removed and you WILL receive a PM along with a 1 month temp formal warning. The reason behind this decision is to help tamp down needless trolling and to protect members since avatars are the first thing people see as a representation of YOU, the user. If there are any questions as to what levels of clothing and/or 'covering up' are considered 'ok' or not, please contact staff and we will let you know and help you out.
However the gist of what is acceptable vs not is this:
No female breasts/nipples
No genitalia
Bare backside is fine so long as the cheeks are NOT spread such that the anus is revealed
Nothing tasteless/pornographic
