While many of us creative types love anarchy and total freedom of expression we have grudgingly accepted that a good community does need some sort of laws and policing in order to stop the criminal element (aka spammers, trolls and other unsavory characters) from taking over.

So here are the VPW Community Laws:

• You must be 18 years of age to participate in the forums. (If you are underage and incognito we cannot be held responsible for the images or information you are exposed to.)
  
• Please treat other community members with respect and refrain from using swear words, discriminatory or aggressive language. This will not be tolerated.
  
• Please do NOT post any pornographic material. (For those shooting Fine Art Nudes we do have a private forum dedicated to this subject. Use of this forum is by Admin approval or invitation only.)
  
• Please only post photographs that you own the copyright to or that you have the permission of the photographer to post. Also ensure that if there are recognizable people in your photo that you have that model or persons permission to post it online.
  
• Please post any self-promotional material in the 'Shameless Self-Promotion' forum only. Other Forums are for discussions or advice only.

We also reserve the right to ban users for other reasons not listed above if it is in the best interests of the community. We want to promote a safe and fun environment to share and learn from others. This is our goal.

Thank you for reading this boring but necessary list....now please post away!
