Posting Policy

We reserve the right to block specific users that abuse this forum and/or violate these policies.

The private message and email services provided on Filthy Smut Peddlers are for the convenience of FSP users only. They are not to be used for spamming. Spam is defined as “unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses.” Using this blog as a platform for many, impersonal messages qualifies as spam. Any violation of this policy should be reported to the FSP immediately; violators will be blocked or banned.

The title of the post should reflect the content of the post. Do not use a non-descriptive title to draw attention to your post. Responses to posts should be made as “Reply” posts. Improperly titled or placed posts may be moved or deleted. We also reserve the right to remove posts which contain clearly incorrect information.

FSP is a blog for sharing information about Filthy Smut Peddlers and pin-ups in general. We encourage people to refrain from making frivolous posts. Because of the high volume of posts, we occasionally delete these types of posts to allow FSP to load more quickly, and to keep from having to purge “meatier” postings as quickly. Also, a large number of frivolous posts tends to confuse newcomers and dilute FSP-related posts.

Our aim is to keep FSP interesting, educational and entertaining. We believe that it is our responsibility to remove postings that we believe are not in the best interest of martin conservation, or not in keeping with the focus of this Forum.

Posters must exercise good judgment when posting or responding to posts about controversial or sensitive issues. If you feel strongly about a FSP-related topic, feel free to make a posting about that subject, but do so in a reasonable, constructive, and non-hostile manner. If you can’t exercise some restraint, then this isn’t the place for you!

Examples of inappropriate posts include (but are not limited to): posts that advocate or suggest illegal activity, posts that contain offensive language, posts that contain personal attacks or “digs” on other individuals or groups, posts of a hostile or vindictive nature, posts that advocate cruelty towards (or protection of) these two. Personal messages to one or two individuals should not be posted to FSP–use private e-mail instead.

Intellectual Property: Posts that present the “intellectual property” (images, art, designs, concepts, etc.) of another person as though it were their own will not be allowed on this forum. Intellectual property not credited will be considered stolen since it implies ownership belongs to the poster. If you would like to share an image found on another website, please post a link to that website, not the image itself. If you must post the image, you must include the source URL, photographer’s name and any other information that helps indicate the owner. When posting images (including your own), it is advisable to note who created it, who owns it (if different), and when and where it was taken.

We reserve the right to remove anonymous posts. Anonymous posts are easily traced by law enforcement agencies using the ISP address recorded with each post, but hidden from public view for your security. Posts containing or constituting criminal activity may be turned over to law enforcement agencies.

Occasionally, posts are inadvertently deleted or, for a variety of reasons, fail to be properly transmitted. Occasionally, an inappropriate post is responded to (and a thread begun) before it can be removed. In this case, the entire thread is removed even though one or more of the responses is not necessarily inappropriate.

Links to Other Sites: FSP reserves the right to remove posts containing links to (or advertising for) other sites. FSP generates revenue through product sales and reserves the right to remove posts that contain links to (or advertising for) commercial sites.

You may not use Filthy Smut Peddlers for commercial purposes. While we invite discussion of all types of martin housing and accessories, commercial sales information or advertisements from, or about, companies and their products (or hyperlinks to these companies) may not be shared on the Forum, or through the private message and e-mail services provided through the Forum.Product promotion or hype (posting info about products that are not available to the public yet or repeated bumping of threads about products) are considered to be advertising and will not be allowed. Repeat offenders will be banned. Encouraging Forum users to bump such threads or post teasers about new products is not allowed.

This policy does not preclude Filthy Smut Peddlers from posting its offerings, nor does it preclude Forum users from occasionally posting personal sales or exchanges of Smut. If personal sales postings get to be too much and detract from the main purposes of the Forum, we reserve the right to modify this policy.

We reserve the right to remove any posting deemed inappropriate.

This policy is subject to refinement and revision, as needed.

Thanks for visiting Filthy Smut Peddlers.
