What exactly is the rules on what you can and cannot post on this forum?
I have gone thru the FAQ section but it provides no info.
I think this is one of the reasons why there is barely any activity on this forum because people have had threads and posts deleted with no definitive reason given and have blew off the forum.
I know people who are longtime paying subscribers to various SC models and they have told me they have had issues with this forum.
One general compliant I have gotten from people I know is that this is suppose to be a porn forum but that it is managed like a family friendly Rated G forum.
My suggestion is when new registers come onboard, before they fill out the registration page, they are directed to a “Forum Rules” section giving them clear instructions on what is allowed and not allowed and what the theme of the forum is about.
That page should also be accessible after completing the registration so people can review it in the future if they have doubts before they post.
Blackbull,
I've been on this forum since the beginning. I post to let any and all know that I'm here if they have any questions. Very few have questions, so I have to ask you, since you seem to be the one "in the know"......what "issues" are people having with this forum?
Quite honestly, it's pretty unbelievable
that you would get "general complaints" from people about this forum. Why??? You're not an admin or moderator, your not charm...….please let me understand why people would go to you and not to the charms or admin with issues? Apparently this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
As to the rules? They are clearly posted in the welcome thread, which is accessible to "guests" before registration. Additionally, they are quite simple....The SC Fan Box is here for the mutual enjoyment of the SC Charms and Gents and their FANS. We want to take this opportunity to welcome all SC fans and wish them an enjoyable visit to the SC Fan Box. We have also added a mini-chat feature to the board to allow you to chat directly with any of the Charms and Gents who are online during the time of your visit.
Since the SC Fan Box is here for the enjoyment of the fans, Charms and Gents, I would like it to be known that spam will not be allowed on the SC Fan Box by members. Only SC ventures are to be promoted on the Fan Box - after all it is our Box. All members posting links for affiliate sites as well as any site not ran by SC will have their posts deleted and they will be banned from the SC Fan Box. This includes placing links to outside sites in your signature blocks. Spam is the major issue that we hear about from our true fans - THEREFORE: there will be zero tolerance for guests, newly registered or full members spamming or advertising non-SC web sites.
With all that said, and all sarcasm set aside, I know you're true complaint is the fact that images get deleted from posts. And full posts may be deleted IF they contain images.
To be clear...…..
All images are COPYRIGHT protected.
Copyright theft is a big annoyance to all models. SO the fact that this is the charm's playground, why would we tolerate the copyright theft here in our own backyard?
On the SC site, I'll quote the rules and copy/paste them here:
and that you will not copy or redistribute any of the content appearing on this SITE. SITE reserves the right to terminate this license at any time if you breach or violate any provision of this Agreement, in which case you will be obligated to immediately destroy any information or materials you have downloaded, printed or otherwise copied from this SITE. Violators of this limited license may be prosecuted to the fullest extent under the applicable law.
You ask what can be posted?
Posters can link to a charm's page. Posting small thumb pics is acceptable as long as the charms' don't complain and AS long as it's a free style photo.
WORDS can be posted as long as they are not mean and unkind.
With all charms having the capability to delete posts, it's impossible to know why posts are deleted, or even who deleted them. But I promise you that nobody is going around deleting posts just for shits n' grins.
One general compliant I have gotten from people I know is that this is suppose to be a porn forum but that it is managed like a family friendly Rated G forum.
Explain this please. Family friendly rated G??? With all the tits, ass and pussy posted here? Are you kidding? This forum is managed in a friendly, fun and open for suggestions way. It's managed by keeping respect to the copyright holders of all images and videos. It's managed to stay within the copyright laws, and it's managed in a way that charms and fans can feel comfortable here. It's managed
NOT to take the place of the porn site of Southern Charms and NOT to be a miniature porn site, but to be an additional way for guys and models to meet up for chatting, discussing, etc, in an online place.
There's a suggestion thread here, everyone is welcome to use it.
But let's remember, that this forum is not a porn site. It's a discussion board. And discussions aren't moderated. Only images.
This isn't rocket science Blackbull. We don't need a ton of rules, we just need some understanding of the copyright issues.
