So now with a 'new place' the house rules have expanded some from our FB (hissss) origins but not by much.
- Ads - Members may not post ads for work you did not create, does not relate to fantasy/sci-fi/horror or their derivations. So if you have a book, animation, etc. you either created or are involved in its creation you may post it here for review. You may add a single link to where it may be found and purchased only. Links will be inspected and if any discrepancies are found (i.e. spam, popups, redirects) the post and member will be deleted upon the first and only infraction.
- Images, Art and Video - Showcasing independent and mainstream fantasy/sci-fi/horror content for mature audiences is why the AFW was created in 2011. Images, Art and Video containing mature content is welcome here with caveats. Nudity of both Males and Females of adult age are fine. Frontal nudity is not frowned upon, but outright 'pornography' is not welcome. Content containing nudity must relate to fantasy/sci-fi/horror to be approved. No content containing graphic nudity, sex or actual violence will be tolerated. No depictions of children or childlike entities in the nude or engaged in sexual activities will be allowed. We're not prudes, but we aren't a porn site either.
- Copyrighted Material - Unless you are the copyright holder of materials you posted (i.e. you own the copyright either by creation or written agreement) most of what will be posted here. Give credit when and where you can to those who created the materials posted. Do not attempt to pass off work you didn't create or own as yours. Keep in mind derivative works such as fan commissioned art, fan-made films, etc. are still owned by the original copyright holder (that goes for you Star Wars and Star Trek fans especially!) Don't get bent if your post gets pulled because the original copyright holder requests it be taken down. It sucks, but those are the rules of copyright law.
- Member Conduct - At no time will personal attacks, racial, sexual, political rants or other obnoxious posting will be tolerated. Members who engage in posting such material will be deleted upon the first and only infraction. The AFW is intended to be fun and informative. There are plenty of other places on the web to pick fights and be an ass.

Ok, testing this comments thing to see if it'll let me in this time.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it works....
ReplyDeleteWow, dint know FB was given you such a hard time over the group.
ReplyDeleteYeah, some of the content was considered inappropriate. Though they'll gladly show pictures of severely abused animals and corpses of people.
ReplyDeleteWe showed 'boobies' for the last 4 years along with some truly serious content for writers and fans at the AFW. But FB seems to prefer 'homosexual' leaning images of bare-chested men over bare-chested women. Their robots can't figure out that there are no 'bad images' on my timeline or business site and keep asking me to 'delete any nude or inappropriate images in those albums' when there aren't any. FB is so hypocritical in that as Cal said,'they'll show all kinds of cruelty and non-directed violence'. But get bent because a naked woman is shown along with a caption that is in compliance with their 'parody' rule. I'm sick of it and it's not like they haven't been selling my info to advertisers since I joined in 2009. Even on the odd chance they let me back in, I'm shutting the group down on FB as their paranoia interferes with my other endeavors. I may very well abandon FB and their bullshit altogether and concentrate on the blogs. Brent, please PM Cal your email as I would like to add you to the 'New AFW' blog as a contributor if you are interested. Your knowledge of 'everything wacky and kinky' in Japanese content would be a welcome addition here.

Hey, if you guys would be kind enough to link the new AFW blog to our members on FB, that would go far to getting things going here!
