I agree

No Guts No Glory

1) Be good to each other. You can agree, you can disagree, and you can agree to disagree but don't get personal about it. We're all friends here, and we're all fans so let's just leave it at that.

2) Swearing is not allowed in any post in the forums or when replying to pictures. This includes the description area of your picture(s). IF your picture and/or dio has swearing, fine. Please keep in mind that we wish this to be a PG/PG13 sort of site. If you have a ton of swearing in a dio, please try and post a warning as a courtesy.

3) Absolutely no sniping and personal attacks on any member. If there is a problem between board members, take it somewhere else.

4) Blatant trolling. I'll be blunt on this one-- I don't care if you post links to features/reviews/dios/etc at other sites. What I do care about are people who only pop up to promote their site and don't otherwise contribute to the community in any way. This is "trolling for traffic" and I think it's a pretty sleazy thing to do. If you want to post links to your own sites/customs/work/etc, that's great and I encourage it! However, just don't show up to promote yourself and then leave.

5) Enjoy yourself. It’s a place to share stories and images w/ people who have the same interest. It’s great that we have a place like this.

The "order of battle" for disciplinary action around here.

If anyone is found consistently and intentionally violating the spirit of the rules above, the following steps will be taken:

1) Written warning. Either via email or PM you'll be hearing from me with one of those "Cut the crap!" messages. Hopefully this will be enough-- otherwise we move to...

2) Banning. I've seen too many boards grow "out of control" because some people can't remember to respect others. I won't tolerate that here-- ever. Anyone who consistently decides that they can do whatever they want will have to do so elsewhere.

BTW…

If you feel the need to disrespect other board members, make blatant insults, etc, your posts are subject to a bit of an edit. However, you'll know the reasons for the edit and everyone will be able to see that the post has been altered.

By the by...

You want a 1-way ticket to getting banned w/ no warnings?

1. Steal pics from another site, post them here and say they are yours.

It's one thing to post your own stuff. It's another thing to post someone's stuff with their permission. (ie; hosting pics on your own account and posting it for the public) But taking a pic from another site and posting 'em, that's a no-no no matter where you're from.

2. Racism in any form.

and

comments on pics should ALWAYS be honest and polite...........if you find something that looks a bit 'off', a 'gentle' suggestion should be offered. Nothing like 'that pic sucks' or 'I hate that it's stupid' or along those lines.......

Don't sell yourself short on your own pics either! Let's be honest, YOU should know if a picture is 'decent'.......look at it this way, are you proud of what you did? Or are you doing it so you can say to your friends 'look what I crapped out and took a picture of!'? Time and patience will show through your pics all by themselves. And if you get frustrated, don't be afraid to ASK!

Now I don't expect everyone to be able to take the same level of pics, it depends on so many things....camera, speed, surroundings, theme and the most important part........each individual!! Again, it all boils down to each person taking pride in what they are doing..........I mean it is your name attached to each shot!

So, take time and have patience...and just follow your mother's advice 'be respectful'...everyone can benefit from something and you'll be churning out brillant work in no time!!!

And

Some of the newer folks might NOT remember this particular ruling, but the JD has a 3-picture posting limit.

Either space 'em out or if you are trying to tell a story, sometimes it's best to host the shots yourself and make a post in the forum. I am deleting random shots if you are over the 3-shots in a row limit. Please try and let others post too.

Well, the main reason I figure no one uses it is probably because it's hard to access from the homepage. Regardless I think the idea of getting rid of a tribute to Craig like that is a little disrespectful, honestly.

Also, there's still quite a few of us who remember Outrider here. Flatline, Scarrviper, Dreadnok Dread, Da Talent (he's just been busy lately), Falcon C, Cyko, myself and plenty of others. Less active but we still lurk, and we still remember our dear friend greatly.

There's only too many categories on the front-page. The hidden one's are of no one's hindrance. I guess we could have a 12" inch section in that area, but it'd be kind of redundant since no one would see it, and probably no one would use it like the Outrider section, which no one can find.

As for Collections... I think it's fine the way it's being used. Admittedly there's a few shots I found strange being in there, but for the most part our janitor's are doing a pretty good job. Really, the photos or ARAH sections shouldn't get slogged down with sub-par pictures like that. Or, maybe as an alternative we shouldn't use the collections section like that and should just delete photos from members if they aren't of a certain quality?

Not being a prick, but whenever someone posts a pic on Joedios, someone else pays the bandwidth they used.

Some people post pics in Collections that could go elsewhere, but I guess technically any toy pic could qualify as part of your collection, so I don't move them. The ARAH and Photos category should be focused on creative pics but I'm not nit-picky about the Collections category.

Outrider will never be forgotten! I think we dont need a 12 inch section. if there arent more than atleast 5 people shooting that category then we dont need it. I find it insulting to even think of removing craigs section. I honestly cant find it half of the time myself to post. He will never be forgotten, he will always be. To get rid of his section for Bs is stupid. Even if you didnt mean any disrespect he made and inspired all the great dio graphers on here. All the others should study him maybe there picture s would actually get better. By the way maybe if the pictures were actual quality like lets say four years ago us "outrider" followers would tend to come through joedios more. Maybe if people cared and posted on peoples shots that actually tried and not on the new roc crap or what ever that just got released people would care more. But that's just my wrong opinion. were all having fun I just take my fun seriously.

My opinion is to honour Outrider with a special gallery/category with only his and all his pics. He was and his pics are a very big inspiration, an example for all of us.

As I wrote months and years before I think this site is too dispersive, not only for a newbie.
I'd unify COLLECTIONS and DIORAMAS in a new section: Collections & Dioramas ;
REVIEWS and FILES in a new section: Reviews & Files ;
PHOTOS and A REAL AMERICAN HERO in a new section: Photos .
We'll have only 3 sections and the images in the front page'd be bigger, more attractive.
12 inch pics'd be posted everywhere.
Outrider's section'd never moved or touched.

what about using the keywords when someone post a pic of a 12" figure? they could use 12", 12in, 12 inches, 1/6, 1:6 as tags, that way if someone wants to see pics of those joes, he just have to search it by the keywords.

Clever Idea!
