Forum Guidelines

by Admin on Fri May 08, 2009 2:48 am

Even though we aim to be pretty relaxed and casual on the forum, there are a few houserules for conduct/use that we ask all members to adhere to:

  • As this is a forum for ball-jointed dolls, the only dolls that are considered on topic are elastic-strung resin casted or vinyl ball-jointed dolls - for example: Volks's Dollfie Dream line, Obitsu Body 50/55/60. (1/6th scale jointed fashion dolls such as Momoko, Pullips/Dals, Misaki are considered off-topic and only allowed in discussion and the gallery if they play a supporting role or for comparison to BJDs.) Artist dolls that are resin cast with ball joints are allowed. All dolls should be customisable in terms of being able to have changable wigs, clothes and eyes. Any other types of dolls are considered off topic and posts mainly disccussing them will be deleted.
  • Please note that the above rule also applies to what dolls are eligible to be bought/sold/traded in the Marketplace. Items/Services are only allowed in the Marketplace if they are intended for ball-jointed dolls.
  • Please only advertise items that are doll related in the Marketplace.
  • Please respect and be courteous towards other members. Treat others as you'd expect to be treated.
  • No spam (ever!) or posting of gibberish just to increase visibility or post count. Threads can be bumped only once a day.
  • Please try to post in the right section of the forum - there are descriptions for each section on the board index if in doubt. Most importantly, no buying/selling/trading allowed anywhere other than in the Marketplace.
  • Regarding posting of images/photos/illustrations - we're not prudes, so images depicting nudity are allowed but must be labelled as such in topic subject. We do draw the line somewhere - absolutely none depicting any form of abuse, sexual activity or fetishes. Also, if the image/s depict a scenario that would be illegal in real life, that's a no-no too. If ever in doubt, check with a mod before posting!
  • If you've got an issue with a particular member or transaction, please handle it in private with the relevant individual/s involved; the forum will not tolerate any wank/flaming/insults/harrassment on public threads. Play nice, people!
  • This is an English forum; please refrain from communicating in other languages. Exceptions are made for text lifted from other published sources only if they are directly related to doll news. All excerpts should either come with English translation or with a query for translation if not familiar with foreign text.
  • Might sound silly writing this, but be honest! This applies especially when conducting transactions on the forum. Lying and being deceitful will just get your arse whooped eventually, and karma's a bitch.
  • Because the admin and mods can't be on chill pills 24/7, we do and will delete posts/threads when we find that it breaches forum guidelines. We have no issues in banning any member that persist in having a blatant disregard for forum guidelines.
  • Any member found to breach guidelines will be issued a warning. After three warnings, member will be banned - either temporarily (minimum of 3 days) or permanently. All IP addresses are logged when using the forum.

Opinions expressed by individual members in no way reflect that of the owner's, admin's or moderators'. Marketplace transactions take place at members' own disgression and at your own risk - the forum is not liable for bad transactions, loss or damage, nor will we act as arbitrators in an Marketplace transaction.

It's pretty straightforward, isn't it?
Now go on and have fun on the forum!
