MakingOf Forum Guidelines: MakingOf is meant to be a centralized resource for both filmmakers and film fans. We have some very simple guidelines that will help make your experiences here go smoothly. Respect your fellow filmmakers -- Regardless of age, experience, or opinion, you should always show respect to fellow users. Personal insults of any sort are not tolerated. If you feel another user’s post is inappropriate, please report the post or contact a moderator. Participating in a flame war is not helpful even if someone else started it. Be slow to give offense and slow to take offense—a lot of disputes are just plain misunderstanding or miscommunication. This is a worldwide community, and English is not the native tongue of some of our members. Please exercise patience and extend the benefit of the doubt to those who are taking the effort to communicate in English just to participate with us. Please don’t post any messages on the topics of—politics, religion, or explicit sexuality -- Not that we don’t find these topics interesting—we do, but they’re not appropriate for this filmmaking forum. Please don’t post any images or links to images with explicit sexual content -- Nudity in still images is not acceptable. Links to films that contain nudity are acceptable as long as the post is appropriately labeled for content. Links to any pornographic content are unacceptable. No trolling -- Expressing an opinion is fine, but if you’re hanging out in a particular camera forum in order to “convince” users that a particular camera is no good—you’re trolling. The individual camera forums exist to serve as technical and informational resources—not as personal soapboxes. Posts that are meant to provoke other users (baiting) are not acceptable. Also, please limit yourself to one username per person. Please check to see if a thread on your topic already exists. If you have a question or comment about a particular topic, it’s a much better idea to post on a recent existing thread, because it helps keep our content organized. Please post in the correct forum -- Posting in inappropriate forums makes extra work for the moderators and you may find your post moved or deleted if you didn’t bother to find the correct forum. Also, no crossposting--please only post your question in a single forum. Advertising Policy -- Please look to the contact us page to arrange advertising for any commercial product, including films. Uncleared advertisements will be removed. If you’re using MakingOf to promote something, you should also be contributing something to the MakingOf community. Personal video and film related items should be listed in the Buy / Sell forum. No eBay links, and please post when the item is sold. Violating MakingOf Policy -- The normal procedure will be: 1) warning by e-mail 2) temporary ban if the warning is ignored, 3) permanent ban for continuing problems. However, if you go out of your way to violate the rules, we can and will skip straight to #3. Self-moderation -- For the most part, the users here practice self-moderation. Take a moment to think before you post and if you’re unsure of something, ask a moderator. If you’re a new user, you’re welcome here, but you may want to spend a week or two reading posts and seeing how things work before you dive right in. Thanks for following the guidelines and welcome to the forum. |
