BOARD RULES FOR BEARCHIVE USERS
Violation of the following rules can result in penalties up to and including permanent banning from the forum, chat room, gallery, and the BEA website. These rules cannot be taken as exhaustive; moderators can and will use their judgement to edit and delete posts they consider to be offensive, irrelevant, or potentially dangerous. Applicable rules will be enforced in the Chat and User/Member Galleries as well as the Forums.
Moderators will not remove messages due to poster's remorse, so think before you post. The forum software allows you to edit your messages for 24 hours after posting, but once the edit time-window has closed, each message and all replies become public property.
1. POSTING LIMITS
- You may post/attach/link only one unmorphed image per thread in a 24-hour period; once you do, you must wait at least 24 hours before doing so again in the same thread. (Formerly called the "1-1-1-1" rule.)
- Do not alter or remove any image's copyright information.
- Morphers may post as many of their own morphs as they like at any time.
- Morphs must differ substantially from their source photos; minor retouching of photos is not enough.
- Morphs are subject to content restrictions described in Sections 2 and 3 below.
- Do not claim copyright ownership of any morph unless you own the copyright to the original photograph(s) from which the morph was made.
- If you own the legal copyrights to your images, you may post as many as you like at any time.
- You must include a "(c) ImageOwnerName" message with each image.
- Do not misrepresent copyright ownership.
- You may attach/link images that already exist on the BEA servers, but not more than 5 of them per thread in a 24-hour period.

- Links to the Users' Gallery will not be available after the images cycle into the Member's Gallery.
- Do not post similar or duplicate messages/attachments/links in multiple threads or forums.

- Do not request or share private or identifying information about any user, model, or other person, living or dead, unless it has already been made publicly available by that person.
