These are our rules for the four sections
of our site where people can post messages without registering
for our message board -- our Fan Fiction section, and our
three Fan Art galleries (general fan art, avatars and icons,
and Selena's VinWarps gallery). Because people feel they can
post "anonymously," these areas tend to see a bit
of abuse, and these rules aim to counter that.
First, we need to make something very clear:
you are never anonymous on this
site. Our administrators can track the Internet
Service Provider addresses of every visitor who comes onto
our pages. When you post feedback, your post includes that
address, although only our administrators can see it. Be warned
that, if you think you can do something in these areas that
you wouldn't do under your "real" name... we can
still find out who you really are. So don't make trouble unless
you want twice as much coming right back at you.
People who wish to leave courteous, appropriate
feedback to our authors and artists are very welcome to do
so in all four of these areas. Below are the simple rules
that govern each one:
Fan Fiction:
- Our writers put a great deal of time and effort into their
stories, and feedback is the only reward they get, so if
you enjoyed a story, please repay the author by taking a
moment to leave her (or him) a response.
- Our fiction section is adult-rated, and many of our stories
feature a good deal of salty language. However, we would
appreciate it if your feedback posts stayed reasonably clean.
This includes swearing, and references to bodily funtions.
(We do not want to know what you were doing
with your other hand while reading our NC-17 fiction, okay?)
- Constructive criticism is permitted. Flaming or insulting
an author is not. Feedback posts that belittle our authors
will be deleted immediately.
- Our stories carry detailed warnings about the content
they feature. Anyone posting to complain about content that
they were warned against in the headers will have their
posts deleted.
- Comments that have absolutely nothing to do with the story
in question will be deleted as well.
The Fan Art Galleries:
- Our artists put a great deal of time and effort into their
artworks, and feedback is the only reward they get, so if
you like a picture, please repay the artist by taking a
moment to leave her (or him) a response. If you are going
to use an icon from our Avatars and Icons gallery, please
leave the artist a comment telling them that you will be
using it, and where.
- Feedback posts laced with swearing and vulgar language
will be deleted.
- Constructive criticism of artwork is permitted. Flaming
or insulting an artist, or their work, is not. Feedback
posts that belittle our artists or their works will be deleted
immediately.
- Some of our fan art includes humorous, bizarre subject
matter. Some people may not like seeing Vin depicted in
ways they consider undignified. However, we have it on pretty
good authority that Vin Diesel has a great sense of humor,
and certainly many of these items have been around on our
site for years and his reps have never complained to us.
Don't bother getting offended on his behalf. If you do,
we'll just delete your flames.
- General remarks that have nothing to do with the artworks
in question (yes, we know you love Vin Diesel, but
this isn't the place to tell us) will be deleted as well.
- Anything posted in all-caps (LIKE THIS, IN CASE YOU WERE
WONDERING) or that contains the idiotic word "hott"
in it, will immediately be deleted.
- Vin Diesel is not your personal property. Anyone trying
to claim he's their man and ordering other people to "back
off" needs to spend their time getting psychiatric
help, not browsing the web, so we'll be happy to assist
your therapy by locking you out of the site the moment we
see comments like that out of you.
Visitors who violate these rules on a chronic
basis may be reported to their Internet Service Provider,
or blocked from accessing our entire site, at our discretion.
