WCF RULES & GUIDELINES
Before you get started here on the Wrestling Cover Forum, there are just a few things we need you to know about our forum. We have a certain set of rules and regulations (most of which are common sense) that we require you to abide by. Below are a list of things we do and don't expect from you as a member of our family.
Cover Theft
Our main function and what made us what we are today is cover making. Our designers spend hours upon hours putting together the best cover they possibly can, whether it be for use in their own collection or someone else's, or maybe they just made it because they were feeling creative and wanted to put something together. Whatever the case is, these designers take pride in their work, and under no circumstances is stealing covers acceptable. To use a cover for your own personal collection, you must always ask permission from the designer first. Also, these covers cannot be used if you are planning to publicly sell DVDs/Blu-rays as if we are seen as making any profit from the images copyrighted to WWE, TNA or anywhere else, the board could be shut down. If anyone is caught stealing covers and either claiming it to be their own, or using them to gain profit, then that person will be banned.
Advertising
We do not allow advertising of other boards similar to ours, whether that be cover sites, trading/sales sites or alternate resource websites. This is to ensure that the focus is kept on the Wrestling Cover Forum and new members aren't immediately redirected away by a link that leads elsewhere. Of course, we're not completely oblivious to the fact that people have multiple websites they frequently visit, nor do we expect people not to visit these websites, but all we ask is that when on our forum, you don't advertise any other forums or blogs.
General Conduct
Arguments and Insults - We're all old enough to know that arguing and insulting each other is something that isn't on. We want to keep a friendly environment on the board and consider our members to be part of our family. Don't create friction by arguing or insulting someone. If you have an issue, you can report it to an administrator or a moderator, or alternatively, just ignore the person you have an issue with. Remember, this is just a website and everyone is sat behind a keyboard. There's no need for childish arguments.
"Flaming" - If this even still exists. New members are what make us grow and we want to help all our members improve on their skills or find what they're looking for. Please refrain from targeting these new members as "n00bs" or whatever else as that is not what we want here on the Wrestling Cover Forum. If anyone experiences any flaming, they are to contact an administrator or moderator right away.
Warning System - Our warning system here works on a very simple basis. You have three chances. After your third warning, you will be removed from the board with immediate effect. Nobody should be receiving three warnings at the end of the day, but if you do, you won't be welcome on our forum. Keep your nose clean and there's no need to worry. If you don't receive a warning for three months following your last one, it will be removed from your account and you will have a clean bill.
Egos - Nobody likes anyone with an ego. Sure, some designers might get a bit high and mighty with all the compliments they get, but this is no reason to believe you are any better than anyone else. Leave your ego at the door because we're all here to improve, learn and enjoy the fun this forum provides.
Closing Notes
WCF is one of the most innovative, creative, entertaining and ground breaking forums online, period. It's why our members have been with us for so long. It's why previous members keep coming back. And it's why our reputation for quality precedes us. We've been going for 7 years now, and grow stronger by the day, constantly evolving as we go. It's a close knit community, fun to be a part of, with incentives on hand to reward hard work and effort. Simply put, if you're a decent person who has a passion for cover design and a respect for hard work, then we want you on board and it's a pleasure to have you with us.
