Forum Rules

1. Personal attacks or rude comments towards any member are not tolerated.

2. Constructive or Courteous Criticisms
Let’s all be adults here and critique in a professional manner.  Don't hesitate to suggest or recommend a different way of doing something; just  
try to be wise when wording your critique.  I often prefix my critiques with IMHO (in my humble opinion) etc.  Debate is a crucial key to human  
advances; we learn through our own trials and tribulations as much as we do through the way other humans act (monkey see monkey do).  I want to  
see debates...they are good!

3. Nudity
ALL nude photography must only be posted in the "Human Forum".  Nude photography MUST be artistic in nature and not portray any type of  
pornography in any way.  The line between artistic and porn is determined by the administrator and/or Global Motley-a-tors only.

4. Brand Loyalty
We all have our loyal brands, please be considerate and tout your brand conservatively.  Please, no brand bashing.

5. Software Piracy
Software Piracy is not tolerated.  This is the only offence that will render you permantely banned w/o warning.

6. Protect your account!
Don't share your account information.

7. Photo Editing Members Photos
Do not download and edit any other member's photo without their prior consent.
