Forum Rules:

1. Religious/Political discussions are NOT allowed

2. Personal attacks on fellow members will NOT be tolerated

3. Photojournalism is posted for discussion of the photography, the methods used to acquire images and media credentials, and techniques of coverage. They are NOT open for debate about the subject covered.

4. When critiquing posted photographs, please do it in an adult, considerate and professional manner. Do not insult the photographer or simply state "it sucks" etc. Give a reason as to what you may feel he/she could have done a little differently in order to get better results. We can all learn a lot from each other here so let's be professional about it.

5. Artistic nudity is allowed: Photographs which include tasteful and/or artistic nudity are allowed to be posted in the Human Form section only. Members must contact the Admin in order to gain access to this section. Simply use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page and/or send us a PM.Photos which are extremely graphic and fall in under pornographic material will not be allowed on the forum.

6. Everyone from a very beginner to a seasoned professional photographer is welcomed here on the forum. With that being said all members are asked to be considerate to a newbie when they ask questions that you may feel are "stupid". We were all beginners once in this hobby of ours so let?s keep that in mind and help people want to learn about photography. Negative comments can be a complete turnoff for a newbie and he/she may decide to never return. Not Good.

7. NO brand bashing. We can all get along better without the typical brand bashing that takes place on other photo forums.

8. Illegal/pirated software requests, discussions and/or links are not allowed. These posts will be removed immediately

9. Commercial advertising is not allowed. This includes software developers, manufacturers, online retailers, local stores etc.

10. Any attempt to circumvent a Temporary Account Suspension by reregistering another name and/or any other method will lead into the offending member to be permanently banned.

11. Price Policing in the Buy/Sell Section is prohibited. If a price seems too high on a particular item, either ignore it and move one or you can kindly PM the seller and mention that might be the case and let them be aware of it. Either way, calling out a member publicly is not tolerated.

Members not abiding by these rules will have their account SUSPENDED for 7 days and if it continues past that point, the user will be permanently BANNED from the Forum.
