If a member starts a thread, please do not take it off topic by posting irrelevant content, which is considered to be done to spoil the thread. If requested by the thread starter, off topic posts will be deleted any of the forum staff.
This is an English based board, please respect that and post in the English language only. Any other language will be deleted.
If a thread/post is found to breach any of the rules, the Administrators and/or Moderators will edit/remove/lock the thread/post and the offender and thread creator will be contacted via PM regarding why it was edited/removed.
Forum Posts/Threads/ProfilesAnything posted on this forum, in any of the sections/profiles, should NOT be posted on any other forum/website unless you have the posters' permission. Anything used from any of the sections/profiles on this forum for profit is strictly prohibited.
Links on the boardYou may post up to 5 URL's in a post, but no more than 10 per thread page (standard thread page is 20 posts) and they must adhere to the forum rules. The staff do not have the time to constantly check links you are posting, so these must be kept to a minimum.
Links in your profileYou may have one link to your personal website which must adhere to the external links rule, you can find that rule here. You may have 2 links in your signature, any excess links will be removed.
Objectionable Material on the Forums/ProfilesIt is important that members recognise the real-time nature of these forums, the moderators cannot always monitor the contents of posted messages. As such, we depend upon you to inform them when members are violating our rules. You must also recognise that they cannot respond immediately to such notices and that some time may pass before any warranted action is taken.
To contact a moderator use the "Report this post to a moderator" function or send a private message to one of the moderators listed in the Forum Leaders.
SpammingTopics/posts that are just complete nonsense will be deleted, or have the entire thread locked, at the moderator's discretion. Spamming yours or other members visitor messages constantly is not allowed and will be deleted. If you violate this rule, your account may be automatically banned without prior warning.
Post PumpingIf a post is suspected to serve no other purpose than to increase the post count of the poster, then the moderator's may, at their discretion, issue a PM to the member in question enquiring about the nature of the post. Posts/Threads that are blatantly post pumping will be removed/locked without recourse to the poster.
Cross PostingPosting the same thread/post in more than one forum is not allowed. Should this occur, then only the thread in the most relevant forum will be left open, all others will be deleted.
Multi PostingMultiposting is repeating the same message several times in the same topic, or, making a post directly one after another, when you could have edited the additional comments into your first post. Multi Posts are not allowed in any forum. Multi Posts will be merged or deleted.
Topic DiscussionsBefore posting a topic for discussion, please use the 'search' facility to see if there is a thread discussing this topic already open. If there is, please do not create new threads discussing the same thing, they will be merged or deleted.
Quoting PostsPlease do not quote whole or partial posts for a few words, or quote posts prior to yours, there is simply no need to do this. If you want to thank a person for their post, or reply to that person, simply use their name or PM them. Quotes like this will be edited out of the post or your post will be deleted.
Thread BumpingPosting in a thread you created for the sole purpose of "freshening" the thread is not allowed, unless permission is granted by a staff member. The application of this rule is up to the discretion of the staff and such posts will be removed.
Old ThreadsAll threads are closed within a time frame in each section. Please do NOT post in old threads that should have been locked, especially if they are more than 6 months old. This pushes down recent threads which is unfair to members. Please do NOT post in threads you've missed because you haven't been here, especially on the 3rd or 4th page, this is also unfair to members who have posted new threads. Any old thread found open to post in should be reported to a member of staff.
Leaving ThreadsLeaving threads are not permitted for any reason on the forum and will be deleted.
Please remember, just because you are on a crossdressing forum, does not mean all the members here are presenting as 'female'. There are many male members here. When starting a thread, please pay attention to what section you are in, starting a thread with 'hi girls' is inappropriate in some sections. See individual section rules for more information.

Posting Pictures Guidelines
These are the following file sizes allowed using the attachment manager: -
When using a host URL to post pictures, such as photobucket, flickr etc, please crop these to fit on the page, 650 width x 550 length maximum. If you need help resizing refer to the tutorials thread or simply ask for help. All pictures that are over this size will have to be removed. They look messy and there is no need for pictures this size.
Any photo links that are accessible only by gaining permission to view (Flickr, MySpace, etc.) are not permitted. The staff neither has the time nor inclination to wait for said permission
Please also remember that not all members have super duper fast cable/adsl/isdn connections. Some members still have dial up connections (56k) so spare a thought for those, as LARGE pictures take a very long time to load.
Hotlinking Images
Hotlinking of images from other websites is not permitted. The simple reason is, when you link a picture from another website to ours, that website is still paying for the hosting of it. The more times the picture is used, the more money it costs. If you want to use a picture from another site, then save it to your PC (with their permission) and use our attachments icon to upload the picture to our hosting.
** Internet Safety **
Despite the fact that every measure has been taken on this forum to protect members’ photos/videos, it is not advisable to post photos/videos of your children under the age of 18 in any of the public forums. This is not a rule, just a concern to keep your children safe and protected.
Flaming - Material that is knowingly defamatory, illegal, abusive, threatening or harassing, is strictly prohibited. As with anything, you, as a member, should use good common sense when posting.
Trolling - Posting to get a reaction out of someone or generally causing mayhem. Posting to cause arguments and generally disrupting the board is not allowed. This is one of the quickest ways to get your posts moderated.
Personal Attacks and Abuse against fellow members are not allowed and will result in moderation. Threats of violence by any member against any other member/s will not be tolerated and posts will be immediately deleted.
Foul Abusive Language will not be tolerated. Unacceptable language will be edited and/or removed. This includes the "C" words as well as the "F" word.
All of the above can lead to sanctions, the ultimate being banned from the Forum
Flaming, trolling, abuse and personal attacks regarding other forums and groups, will NOT be tolerated here. If you have an issue with another forum, then please keep that issue with them on their forum/group. We do not want to hear about it, it isn't our issue. As a forum, we strive to work along side other forums and groups.
We reserve the right to remove ANY url in any members signature, homepage, threads and visitor messages. This forum is for support, it isn't your personal recruiting forum.
If you have an issue with our board and you are found to be bad mouthing our board on other forums, your account will be suspended until further notice.
