By registering at Superiorpics Celebrity Forums, you are privileged to contribute in any form. However, if we feel this privilege is being abused, you will be warned first, then either penalized, or banned.
1) REGISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION
Please register and politely participate as much as you can.
a) The SuperiorPics.com forum does not allow one user to have multiple login identities. Multiple IDs from the same IP will be deleted. We understand that there are members who share their IP address, whether it is because they are living in the same house, the same college housing or similar situations. If you are in this situation, please inform a Mod so that they can make an exception for you. Lying to obtain an exception to this rule will result in banning.
b) Please participate. Share pictures or videos with others and thank them for their contributions. We are not trying to force posting but if you regularly download content please thank or otherwise nicely respond to the original posters of the images or videos. It encourages them to continue posting and SuperiorPics promotes a friendly environment where hard work is appreciated and welcomed.
Though "Lurking" is completely acceptable, registration and participation is highly recommended.
c) Please clean out your Private Mailbox regularly. There is a 500 message limit. Any messages received after the limit has been reached will be returned to the original sender.
d) Please use English when posting. Although SuperiorPics hosts members from all over the world this is an English language forum. We understand if English is not your primary language and encourage best-effort attempts at posting in English.
e) Before making a request for a particular pictures or videos please read the Request Forum Rules and use the Search function. Do not post small pictures in the Pictures sections as a way to or part of a request for higher quality pictures. Posts such as that belong in the Request section.
f) Please do not ask about the sources other posters use for their posts or how to obtain memberships, username/passwords or URLs to such sources. Such topics will be locked.
g) Do not borrow or copy the image codes from another person's posts, either from this or other forums. Besides being rude and inconsiderate of the effort and work that they put in to uploading those pictures to share, overuse of links can cause hosting sites to shut them down. We are here to share and discuss pictures, just be polite enough to re-upload them yourself and give credit where it is due.
h) If you don't like a certain celebrity please do not bother replying, especially if it is to incite arguing or disagreement. This is called trolling and will not be tolerated here. Users who break this rule will be warned and eventually banned if the trolling continues.
i) Personal attacks against other members, or attacks based on race, religion, political affiliation or sexual orientation are prohibited. Explicit descriptions of sexual acts are prohibited.
j) When posting videos, please use the  icon to let other members know that the thread contains a video.
2) BANNED CONTENT
No Posting of Nudity or Pictures/Videos from Banned Sources Allowed.
a) You may not post nude pictures or videos or post links to them either in your post or signature. Content with slight see-through and slightly obscured shots are OK. If you are in doubt, please ask a Mod before publicly posting. Censoring or modifying a nude image by blurring it or by adding another object to the image to cover up the area is not acceptable and will be treated the same as an actual nude image. Fully exposed pictures (top or bottom) are not acceptable. This also applies to video posts. This site is designed for people of all ages and many of the picture and video hosts allowed here (such as ImageShack for example) do not allow these types of pictures. Unacceptable content will be removed by the moderators and the poster will be warned.
b) There is to be no posting of any ELLE/FHM/Vanity Fair/Playboy Magazine scans or any other pictures that are owned by ELLE/FHM/Vanity Fair/Playboy (including images or videos from those entities' websites). There is to be no posting of any images from Most Wanted Pictures, Inc or MediaVast, Inc. and its affiliated divisions WireImage, FilmMagic, Contour Photos and WireImagesSTOCK.
Full DVD's, movies, full episodes of ongoing TV shows (LOST, 24, Heroes etc), all torrent files and MP3's are also not permitted here due to the obvious copyright issues.
Additionally, there is to be no posting of images from www.BiancaBeauchamp.com. If pictures from any of these sources are found being posted they will be removed without notice and the poster in question will be warned. Continued abuse of this rule will lead to your account being banned.
There are no exceptions to this rule.
3) CELEBRITY DEFINITION & PLACEMENT:
a)Please limit your picture or video posts to celebrities only. A celebrity can be an up and comer in their field. Please do not post amateur models or any pics that are not celebrity related in the content sections. For the purposes of this forum a celebrity is someone who:
* Has a listing at IMDb
or
* Has a listing at TV.com
or
* Has appeared in Google News
or
* Has appeared in a general circulation magazine (one that you could find at your local grocery store or supermarket)
b) Celebrities should be placed in the sections they are best known for and the actresses sections are sorted alphabetically by first name. If you are uncertain where the pictures should be posted, please ask a Mod. You can also ask in the latest "Community Chat" edition in "The SuperiorPics Corner" section, where a Mod or long-time member who can help can usually be found.
(Some specific instances: post Jennifer Lopez in Actresses G-K, Jessica Simpson in Singers, Mandy Moore in Actresses L-O, Jessica Alba in Actresses G-K, wrestling divas in models/athletes.) If unsure, search before posting.
c) Non-picture topics should be placed in the "General Comments" or "Sports And Entertainment" areas.
d) When there is a dispute on which section a celeb should be posted in, we have a thread for discussing it here: Proper Categorization Of Celebrities We have determined that because any celebs can legitimately be posted to more than one category, and to make the use of the Search Feature easier, we would pick a category and that celeb would only be posted there from then on.
e) Pictures of groups of celebs from different categories should only be posted in the Miscellaneous Section although pop groups such as PussyCat Dolls or Girls Aloud would go in the Singers section. Porn Stars also only go in the Miscellaneous Section.
4) THUMBNAILS:
All pictures must be posted using thumbnail links. This dramatically improves the performance of the forum and does not force users on slower connections to have to download megabytes of data when they open a thread. Use the "Preview Post" function to be sure you
have the correct thumbnail code. A tutorial on how to thumbnail can be found here:
How to post Thumbnails.
* Please try to ensure that you put a space between each image when posting multiple images so that they appear as
IMG IMG IMG IMG IMG IMG
IMG IMG IMG IMG IMG IMG
and not as
IMG
IMG
IMG
IMG
IMG
IMG
as it can be annoying to scroll down a long line of images and people will complain to the mods/admins about it.
* Please note that our forum software does not support the .jpeg extension. Posts made using .jpegs will not show up properly and will appear as broken image code. You must make sure that the images end in .jpg and NOT .jpeg
* If you are posting animated gifs, please mention in your title that this is the case and also include the file size if possible.
* If you are posting a link to a video, please include one or more preview pictures and the file size.
* Do not post a .ZIP/.RAR or any other compressed file that contains images without including a preview thumbnail sheet to enable users to see all the images contained therein.
5) NO HOTLINKING & ALLOWABLE IMAGEHOSTS:
* Hotlinking (linking to an image on someone else's website. This includes that you may not link your own web site either. ) is prohibited.
* Links to streaming video sites such as youtube may not be posted in the content sections however they are allowed in the 'General Comments' and 'Sports and Entertainment' sections.
* When posting pictures, use the UBB/Forum thumbnail code generated by any of these APPROVED image hosts:
www.Imageshack.us
www.Imagevenue.com
www.Paintedover.com
www.supload.com (www.ximages.us)
www.imagethrust.com
www.zshare.net (Handles files up to 100Mb in size.)
www.radikal.ru (Handles files up to 10Mb in size.)
www.imagebam.com (Handles files up to 3mb)
www.keepmyfile.com
These are the only image hosts allowed here.
* Any member who makes a post not using an approved host will be notified to use one of the approved hosts listed above and the thread will be locked. If a member continues to use an unapproved host they may be banned. If it is believed that the member is using an image host as spam they will be warned. Repeat offenders will be banned. No start-up image hosts are allowed due to the high volume/bandwidth demands that would be placed on them by this forum.
The use of the hosts ImageCash, CashMoneyUploads, imagebucks, imagefly, depositfiles or any other "cash for images" or "cash for clicks" sites is strictly prohibited.
Recommended Video hosts vary but include
http://www.rapidshare.com
http://www.megaupload.com
http://www.mediafire.com
http://www.sendspace.com
6) REPOSTS:
a) Before posting spend some time browsing this board to make sure that the pictures have not been posted within the last 2 weeks. You can use the Search feature (found at the top right corner of the screen) to help with this. Pictures that are substantially different in size or resolution or have edited content will not be considered re-posts. If a re-post is found a link to the original thread will be added and the thread with the re-posts will be locked.
b) People who are posting Scans, Clips, or Screen Captures that they themselves have created are exempt from the repost rule. People who find those things on another site are not. However, if you are posting a lower quality version of something that has been posted within the last 14 days we ask that you post it in the existing thread.
c) When making a post that has pictures of the same celeb at the same event as an existing post, even if the pictures are different, those pictures should be added to the existing thread instead of creating a new thread.
7) FULL NAME & BRIEF DESCRIPTION IN TITLE:
Include the full name of the celebrity in your post's subject and a brief description of the pictures or videos. If possible include the photographers name, the magazine name or the event and date. Users should have a fair idea of what to expect before they click on your thread. Content from an unknown source should be posted using as much information as you can get from the images or videos. For example: Hayden Panettiere - in a red bikini at the beach
8) SPAM:
Spam of any type is prohibited. Spam is defined as any advertisement of a different website or forum. You may include one link in your signature as long as it does not link to nudity, a site containing nudity, a site used for monetary gain, a retail site, or auction type of site. A link to your own website is allowed providing it meets those conditions. New members that registered just to spam for another site will be immediately banned without warning.
9) INTERNET MODELS:
It has been decided by the administration that internet models will not be featured on this forum. These women are not considered celebrities and some of their images contain adult content which posters usually do not remove before posting. Threads containing such content will be locked and the poster will be notified.
10) FAKE PICTURES:
Do NOT post fake pictures. They will be deleted. Slightly enhancing pictures, such as altering the brightness or gamma levels is acceptable but state that the images are edited in either the thread title or your post.
11) UNDERAGE CELEBRITIES:
Pictures/videos of celebrities that are younger than the age of 16 at the time that the picture was taken or that the video was filmed are prohibited. The only exception to this rule is when someone under 16 years of age appears alongside or in the background of an older celebrity who is the main subject (such as the children a celebrity mother in candids or younger actors in a film/tv cast photo). No other postings of celebrities under the age of 16 is allowed on SP and violations of this rule will be immediately deleted. For other teens under 18, inappropriate or sexual comments, counter comments (including those against members) and judgement or harressment of other posters will be deleted by staff without notice and those members involved may face immediate banishment.
No one will be exempt from this rule. Arguing about teenage legality will also not be tolerated.
12) UNNECCESARY REPLYING TO OLD POSTS:
Do not reply to a picture or video thread in which the last post was more than 30 days ago (called "bumping"). Offenders will be warned and multiple offenders will be banned. The only exceptions are if you are posting new or updated pictures, or answering a question that had not yet been answered. Requests to repost the pictures or videos or move the content to a different hosting site belong in the "Request" section, not the content threads.
13) REQUEST RULES:
a) Before making a request, please take the time to use the SEARCH function in the top right corner of the page. You might find what you are looking for and save time for others.
b) Only 1 request every 7 days is allowed! Others will be deleted without any explanation.
c) Each request may only contain 1 celebrity, unless it is a group photo.
d) Add a small description to the request, and if possible a thumbnailed example.
Example: Hilary Duff - MMVA 2004 high quality pics
e) Do NOT bump your own request. Any action such as this will result in a thread being locked.
f) Do not request any pictures that violate the other rules of the forum. This explicitly includes requests that the material be sent via PM or email. Any requests for material that violates the rules will be deleted without warning.
