Forum Rules

Anyone who posts comments on the OPS forums should observe the rules below. Posts which violate these rules will be deleted.

●   Spam - Please stay on topic. Posts unrelated to the forum topics are not allowed. Nonsense posting for the purpose of increasing your number of posts is also forbidden.

●   Cross-posting - Post only once on the forum to which the topic of your message is most closely related. If there is no such forum, post it on the "General" forum.

●   Referral links - Users are not allowed to post URLs where money, or some other type of compensation, is received as a result of posting the referral. It is however OK to post your personal website URL in your forum profile.

●   Personal attacks - Users are not allowed to post any form of harassment, threatening icons or other type of annoying, offensive or provocative material.

●   Criticism - Comments on the work of other photographers should be of a constructive and helpful nature. Please bear in mind that nothing in the photography world is beyond criticism - not even your own work. Sensitivity is generally appreciated and often adds weight to a post.

●   Illegal material - Discussions related to illegal activities such as software piracy, and other intellectual property violations, are not allowed.

●   Adult material - Links to adult sites or material are specifically forbidden.

 

Note that the accounts of registered forum users who have never posted may be deleted after a period of six-months. However, new accounts can be created as required.
