Please determine if your post will add to our goals as follows:

• The Daz 3D forums and galleries should be a destination for learning, conversation, and helping others

• This should be a fun and positive place to communicate

• A place of learning and sharing

• A place to go for help in learning new techniques

• Communicate and discuss ideas in a positive non-threatening way

These forums and galleries exist in order to help facilitate the discussion, learning, teaching, creation of as well as displaying of digital art and animation. This is accomplished by fostering a community where each member helps another to learn various techniques for 3D modeling, texturing, posing, animating, and postwork. Everything that helps the community realize these objectives is welcome. Constructive discussion, both critical and sympathetic, pertaining to these objectives is encouraged. Anything that is degrading or otherwise harmful to such an environment is strictly prohibited.

Here are a few examples of how these objectives may be accomplished:

• Discussing art and animation

• Giving and receiving support for questions related to products and their use

• Exchanging tips and techniques

• Announcements of product fixes and updates

• Tutorials

• Product suggestions and sishlists

• Announcements by Daz Staff

• Posts, threads, and images MUST NOT contain ANY nudity, violence, or profanity

• Criticism should be directed towards the subject or topic at hand, rather than an individual. Posts that make blanket, unreasoned criticisms — of other members, of Daz 3D, of products or applications, or of merchants and their products — may be removed in a general effort to control negativity

• Posts that are obviously designed to provoke, shock or anger will be removed and action will be taken as needed. This includes posts attempting to provoke a “site” or “app” war, the excessive use of strong language, or any content designed to create a negative emotional response.

• Attacks towards any member, moderator, admin, or Daz Staff will not be tolerated.

• Anyone asking for “warez” or otherwise pirated or stolen material will be dealt with as deemed necessary including any appropriate legal action where necessary. Often a single warning will be given to the individual, though some situations may warrant more severe action to be taken.

• Anyone offering “warez” or otherwise pirated or stolen material will be banned and all appropriate legal action taken.

• Copyright infringements of any sort will not be tolerated.

• Illegal acts, accusations of illegal acts, or suggestions to commit an illegal act are not allowed on our forums and will be removed from public view, further action will be taken if necessary.

• For rules on commercial forum posting, see the Commercial Advertising section below.

• Multiple forum posts for a single product or topic will be consolidated to a single post or the duplicate post may be locked or removed in order to reduce entries in the forum.

• Threads that are deemed to be “Bumped” for the specific purpose of artificially keeping the thread on the first page of the Commons will be locked.

• Off-topic threads may be moved, modified, or split at the discretion of the moderators and any such changes will be reported to the member who started the thread.

• There may also be other reasons to refocus multiple threads to a single thread. In some instances, these multiple threads may even be created by two different members. It is not our intention to stifle conversation, this is done so that all members are able to follow the same thread and ask and receive feedback in the same location on this subject.

• Emails or Private Messages (PMs) can be posted ONLY by the original author, or by the recipient if the post explicitly states that it may be made public. This also includes communication from all Daz 3D contacts as well as correspondence with outside agencies.

• Posts that appear to lead to debate on personal beliefs such as politics or religion will not be allowed. There are other forums for such discussions.

• Subject lines/titles of threads in the Daz 3D Forums may not contain prices or discount amounts. This covers numerical, symbolic, and explicit references.

• Polls are only allowed in the forums if they are posted by 1) A Daz 3D PA in Connection with a Daz 3D product release or PA sponsored contest or 2) A forum member running a contest in the Art Studio Forum after receiving permission from the Daz 3D Forum Team. (Please keep in mind there is a 12 Answer Limit)

• As a courtesy to other merchants please do not use someone else’s promotional thread to promote another product.

• Commercial threads must be posted by the Package creator or one of the creators for multi-vendor packages.

• Merchants may post a maximum of 1 commercial thread per week, with two instances of that thread permitted as noted above in bullet point 3.

• Commercial threads may be started only for New Products or Products that are newly on sale.

• Anyone attempting to “hack” or otherwise disrupt the normal functioning of this forum.

• Non-working links (i.e. “dead links”) will be removed when found, or by request. We will wait up to 72 hours before deletion to account for periodic outages and server downtimes.

• We ask that your creation not infringe upon the copyrights of others. Infringements will be removed and the offense remedied as circumstances warrant.

Here is an outline of the chain of events that we will follow towards making corrections within the forum:

• An official warning is given to all parties involved. These warnings will be logged, but they will be kept away from public view.

• If the official warning is ignored, or the problem recurs from the same member, then the member will have all forum privileges suspended (for an undetermined period of time).

• Anyone violating the Forum Guidelines after reinstatement from suspension will be banned outright, including all known “clone” accounts of the person being banned.

• Further legal action will be taken as deemed necessary by Daz 3D.

Moderators will actively remedy any situations that arise that conflict with these Terms of Service. If you have any questions or concerns about moderator actions please open a support ticket or contact the moderation team at [email protected] Do not make a forum post on the issue as it will be removed.

Specifics actions which will be taken include, but are not limited to:

• Deletion and/or locking of all posts or threads where any illegal activity (such as Warez requests), posting of inappropriate materials, or copyright issues is apparent.

• Locking or deletion of threads that are considered ‘spam’. Spam consists of creating multiple threads in different places pertaining to the same subject matter.

• Deletion or locking or posts or threads that are deemed to contain personal attacks on an individual or organization. This is a matter of subjectivity and is determined by the Daz Forum Team and/or Daz Staff.
