Mod Post - #1 The Rules
Before joining this community or posting an entry you should be familiar with our rules. We are a large and busy community, a few rules are necessary to keep this place friendly and alive.
The Rules
I. This is a Ville Valo picture community...
...as such, you should post photos, artwork, graphics and videos; text should be legible and short. If your message is long, please place it behind an lj-cut; keep the front page beautiful with a picture in every post ~ salute!
II. Be respectful: here are some of our expectations:-
* your post should be HIM related, remember this is not your personal journal
* the front page picture should be no wider than 600px
* at busy times please try to limit yourself to one post in a day
* avoid making comments which are likely to cause offence
* use lj-cut for multiple images, videos and animated gifs - choose the HTML tag when posting and use this code - place image code here
If you have any difficulties then email or private message us and we will gladly help.
III. Do not hotlink. Host the photos using your own account on http://www.photobucket.com, it's free and easy to use.
IV. Do not make posts or comments which attack other people. All shades of opinion are welcome but it's not the place for gratuitous arguments, if you have a problem with the community or someone in it then please get in contact with one of the mods, by Private Message or by email. Honest opinions and discussion are encouraged but abuse will not be tolerated.
V. If a rule is broken then your post will be deleted, that's all. Membership won't be withdrawn unless you deliberately and persistently break the rules, i.e. if you're here to cause trouble. You will be given warnings beforehand.
VI. Important: taking someone else's work from anywhere on the internet without their permission and without giving credit for their ownership is against copyright law. Please credit the owner of a photo if you know their name, usually it's the photographer or an agency, that way we're at least covered by the 'fair use' application of copyright law.
VII. When posting news, please cite reputable sources.
VIII. Show Him Your Love ~ do not share music downloads or files from HIM albums in this community; Respect His Privacy ~ do not post stalkerish type videos or photos of his family or his home; and use your common sense - don't spread silly rumours
IX. Fan fiction and slash are not allowed. This is because we're fact and news orientated therefore stories are better posted and discussed at one of the many fiction communities on lj. Also, this is not a marketplace so buying and/or selling are not allowed. Community promotions are at the discretion of the moderators, please ask first.
If you have any further questions feel free to contact your mods.
