Registration
to the FM forums is free and welcome to everyone. However, we reserve
the right to enforce the rules and policies. The
rules are very clear and simple to follow. If you do not agree or adhere to
these rules, then you will not be permitted to post. FM moderators reserve
the right to ban, revoke privileges, edit, move, delete or lock any thread
that
does not comply to the rules below:
Be courteous, and polite.
Do not use profanity, viciously bash others, be rude, hateful, threatening,
abusive, invasive, or otherwise violate any laws. By participating in this
forum,
you agree to any possible future rules amended, implicit, or implied.
Do not violate copyright laws, or misrepresent
someone else's work as your own. You may not use or publish any of the photographs
displayed on these pages without express permission from the original photographer.
No exceptions.
Be aware of content.
Any photographs considered lewd, vulgar, sexually orientated, or pornographic
in nature will be immediately deleted. Please only post decent, tasteful, artistic
photographs. You may only post a link to your artistic nude image and
not embed it into your message. If you do embed the image to this site the moderator
will remove it without warning.
Messages must be posted to the appropriate board. FM
Moderators reserve the right to move messages to the correct board without
warning. For example: All personal sales related postings should be placed
in
the "Buy and Sell" section.
No SPAM, advertisements, schemes, or fictitious announcements: Regular
members are allowed to advertise their workshops or meetings in the ‘Member
meetings and events’ section, but moderators can still edit, close or
remove a
thread when they think it’s needed.

to commercial sites are NOT allowed in signatures. Allowed
exceptions are:

workshops. However this can't be marketed or advertised in forum posts.

Do not use all CAPS in postings.
Use of this forum is a privilege. This
