Picture Share Rules - READ BEFORE UPLOADING [2013.05.29]

Post by **TPOWIS Admin** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 5:17 pm

These rules generally reflect those of the General Picture Shares rule set. There are a few differences. Generally know that photos should be on topic, as in photos are to be of women dressed as characters from various forms of art.

Specific rules on organization and the method that will be used here:

Topics should contain the character name of whoever you have a cosplay photo of. Look for topics that exist before posting a new one.
For characters you do not know, you may create a topic for them and when we discover the name, we will then name it properly.
Random "80's" or spandex cosplay goes in the Halloween Hotties thread

Other than that, general rules that apply:

No posting copyrighted material. This is directed mostly at photos taken from other pay-access sites.
No posting "samples" and slapping a hot link back to your pay-access site.
Try not to post photos (or screen caps of videos) contained on the parent site (TPOWIS.NET)
Do not post photos of under age models. There are women who look young and then there are kids. Do your best to determine this before posting please.
Do not 'hot link' to files contained on other websites. Use the site's built in hosting feature OR use an image share site like imagebam.com
Do not post photos of men in spandex. (thats a given) Unless accompanied by a lovely lady in appropriate attire (no male nudity regardless)

A few details on "crossplay": Crossplay is a term in the cosplay community given to those who do their best to look like female characters in anime and videogames. The western world would refer to them as transvestites. How well these individuals can achieve the look they are going for varies greatly. In either case, such photos should not be posted here. Use your best judgment to determine what the photo you are about to post really is. Chances are, if you're questioning it, you shouldn't post it anyway.

Currently banned image hosts:

imgmoney.com

Notes and legal stuff: This board will be moderated for content. By posting images on this board you grant permission for their continued use on this site. Images will be retained here as long as they are actively viewed. After they expire, the best will be filtered to the main galleries at TPOWIS.NET.

Questions and comments about these rules may be posted here.

That's the basics here. Oh, and we reserve the right to change any of these rules without prior notice.

Have fun and enjoy!
