By registering, you do agree that you have read and agreed to abide by our rules.

Short version:

If you use common sense and are respectful and considerate of others, we would love to have you here!

Long version:

  1. Posted images are to be no larger than 2000Kb (2MB).
  2. Any member, who indicates in their user profile that editing of their images is permissible, grants permission for other members to temporarily copy the image to their computers for the sole purpose of editing the image and re-posting the results to the Forum. Any images downloaded for this purpose should then be deleted.
  3. The use of multiple accounts is not permitted.
  4. Spamming is not permitted.
  5. Post titles should be as meaningful as possible.
  6. No images are permitted to be copied from the Forum without the express permission of the copyright holder. This is the law.
  7. No member - regardless of status - may advertise products or services without the prior permission of an Administrator. Personal items, for qualifying members, through the trading post are exempted. The Forum encourages informal meetings; nevertheless, no member is allowed to advertise events or any fundraiser where there is financial consideration between members.
  8. No postings may be made that support software piracy in any of its forms. Photographers - more than most - should respect copyright.
  9. Only Members with 5+ posts can submit posts containing external links. Otherwise, links are not permitted - whether hyperlinked or not. External links must be relevant to the Forum’s purpose and may be deleted by staff if deemed inappropriate. Members may not post links on behalf of those not entitled to do so.
  10. Only Members (100+ posts) can sell, trade, place wants, or swap in The Trading Post. Any member may respond to such posts. Trading Post posts must be self-contained - they may not link externally; moreover, the asking price must be clearly referenced.
  11. Members may not seek evaluation or critique of photographs where members have to leave the forum to view the images. All photographs are to be included in the post - either as an uploaded attachment or, where allowed, as a linked image where the image is viewable on the forum
  12. Bad language/profanity is not permitted
  13. Any form of prejudice is not permitted.
  14. No pornography is permitted – explicit or implied. Artistic nudity is acceptable - as general guidance, no images showing genitalia are permitted. If in doubt, seek advice from a member of staff before posting.
  15. All images submitted to the Forum must have the appropriate permission of the copyright holder. All images submitted remain the property of copyright owners. This is the law. Pieces regarded as derivative works or compositions based on images from third-party sources must include a link or reference back to the original artist/copyright holder with verifiable terms of usage.
  16. By submitting images and posts to the forum (either through direct upload or hyperlink), the copyright holder is providing consent for the images and posts to be stored locally and displayed indefinitely. A request to remove an image or post can be made to any member of staff. Whilst each request will be dealt with compassionately, staff will also consider the impact of such deletion on both the continuity of the associated thread and on other members.
  17. Always be considerate to the feelings and aspirations of other members. No rudeness or personal insults are permitted. Note that if someone has gone to the trouble of providing a critique on a photograph, answering a question, or providing advice it is deemed inconsiderate not to thank or acknowledge them.
  18. All images are submitted to the Forum for the purposes of photographic critique. Images submitted to Appraisal Gallery are likely to attract particularly robust comments. If you do not wish your images to be subject to critique, do not post them here - there are media gallery available for simply displaying your work.
  19. To avoid upsetting the natural flow and harmony of the Forum, threads over one-month-old should not be resurrected without good reason. "Good reason" will be at moderators' discretion. In the event that a thread is resurrected unnecessarily, the post will be deleted by moderators without stating a reason. Repeat offenders may be banned.
  20. Generally, discussions about religion and politics are discouraged due to the downward trend such discussions can take. Forum staff reserve the right to close or remove such discussions should it be deemed they are achieving nothing but disharmony.
  21. No advertisements are permitted in the Forums, Signatures, or sent via Private Messages. This will be considered SPAM and could result in you being banned from DPC.
