closed community update + the rules, hehe.
Right.
superba and I have decided that we are going to make this community a closed community. Around 85% of you thought it was a good idea, and so as of today, this community has closed membership.
This will not mean we are going to become an elitist community - we will add everyone that wants to join, but we hope that the spammers will stay away a bit more.
Also, the idea behind the closed membership is that you read the rules before you post. If there are any more off-topic posts, we will take away your posting access, if you post pictures/articles without an lj-cut, we will ask you to edit your post - if you don't, we will delete it.
I'm sorry but we have to be a bit more strict with the rules, I hope you guys understand!
Everyone will still be able to look at the pictures here, but we just need to ask the people that post, to stick by the rules we have - to make this a better community again.
So,

COMMUNITY RULES
#1 please do not hotlink:
if you want to post pictures, please use your own webspace to host them, and don't link them directly from the site you found the pictures on. free servers that let you link pictures aren't that hard to find, try lycos, or take a look at this post to learn how to link pictures from angelfire and geocities.
#2 use the lj-cut:
when posting, please use the lj-cut - all pictures and articles should be lj-cut.
#3 PLAY NICE:
we're not looking for fights, bitches at other members or anything of the like. if you have problems with the community, please contact youwillburn or superba.
#4 this is not a dating or rating community:
this community is for pictures, stories, quotes etc that have (something) to do with boy touching. anything else will be deleted. you can post whatever you want, but please, don't get too far off-topic. for suggestions on what to post, look below.
#5 this is not a community for gay porn:
the idea behind this community is to have pictures that have slashy undertones. pictures of guys kissing, men holding hands or leaning against each other, or pictures that make you wonder. this is not the place for posting gay porn - our definition of gay "porn": any picture featuring full frontal nudity. any post with that will be deleted without warning. follow the "rules", and, please - keep it tasteful.
for the "porn"-y pics, join our sibling community hardcore_bt.
#6 posting off-topic:
if you post anything off topic (see below) we will take away your posting access.
#7 label your pictures:
please label the pictures or articles you post, in the lj-cut or the subject line. this way people can decide whether or not people want to look at pictures or not.
important: if you have a problem with another member:
when you think another member is breaking the rules, contact youwillburn or superba, telling us who you think is stepping out of line and point us toward the thread where you think a member of the community is not obeying the rules. if you harass other members, we will ban you without warning.
