FORUM RULES and ADVICE

Post by Mike Sibley »

Please respect your fellow artists. Treat everyone as you wish to be treated.

DWM welcomes a wide variety of original artwork; but the artwork you submit must be your own original work. And that applies to any sources you used during its creation. If use of copyrighted references without prior permission is detected, your artwork will be removed.

REPORTING A POST
Conversely, if you have reason to believe that a post contains an image that violates the DWM Forum rules, please either click the [ ! ] "report this post" icon at the top of the post, or report the use to Admin.

MATURE CONTENT
This forum strictly prohibits the posting of pornographic or obscene material. There are no exceptions to this prohibition.

You may, however, post images of tasteful nudity, but please mention "nudity" in the post's title to avoid unpleasant surprises. Admin will be the judge of "tasteful" and Admin's decision is final.

OFFENSIVE CONTENT
This encompasses anything that some members or guests might find offensive or distasteful to read or view. Any content deemed to be obscene or distasteful by Admin will be removed upon discovery or receipt of a report. Admin's decision is final.

FORUM POSTING
All posts and comments within a specific forum should be relevant to that forum's title. For example, please don't get into deep discussion about a graphite pencil technique in the Coloured Pencil forum - unless it's particularly appropriate.

Please do not hijack threads! Do not post your own work for critique into another artist's post - start a new topic.

Comments can be either positive or negative, providing they are constructive and aimed at encouraging the discussion.

Please be as clear as possible about your meaning in posts and comments. Written text often doesn't relay a clear indication of, for example, sarcasm or dry humour. Fortunately, Admin is British, so we're used to it. :D When posting, please use common sense and appropriate smilies to avoid confusion.

Posts or comments that contain inappropriate subject matter - such as racism, abuse, insults, or overt discourtesy - might result in that post or its comments being locked or even deleted.

AVATARS
You may upload your own Avatar (max 90px by 90px) or use a Gravatar. Your avatar must not contain offensive content (such as nudity, or contentious flags or symbols), or contain a portion of work made by another living artist.

That's it. Be respectful and enjoy your time here...
