Gallery Rules
The following rules are as of March 21, 2007. Please read them carefully.
The following set of rules applies to The Sweet Spot section.
Rule 1
This section is suppose to be a collection of anime related materials. In this section we only allow wallpapers, renders, scans, avatars to be uploaded. If we found any images not related to any of those categories, they will be deleted.
Rule 2
Due to the past complaints from other sites, this section now forbiddens any anime wallpapers, scans, and avatars that are uploaded from other sites (such sites are Minitokyo, AnimePapers, AnimeReflections, etc). The only time we allow these images to be uploaded here is if the creator decided to upload their works personally or if the creator gave you permission to upload his or her works here and is properly credited. If you do have permission to upload their images from that site, you MUST credit the images properly. When you go to the upload image page, there will be two fields for you to fill out: Designer and Source/Origin fields. Enter the name of the person who design the images in the Designer field and the website on where you got the image from in the Source/Origina field. If you don't know the original designer or the website, then don't bother uploading it.
Rule 3
If you design these type of images exclusively for AnimeOST.NET, please tag your username on the images and (optionally) add in AnimeOST.NET. You may tag other sites too only if you add AnimeOST.NET in your image. Otherwise we may think that image was uploaded here without permission from the site listed in your image. When you go to the upload image page, there will be two fields for you to fill out: Designer and Source/Origin fields. Enter your forum username in the Designer field and AnimeOST.NET in the Source/Origin field. This way we'll know that you created and allow AnimeOST.NET to host your image.
Rule 4
Any wallpapers with resolutions smaller than 800x600 are not allow to be uploaded. If found by one of the moderators, they will be deleted without warning. Also the maximum resolution will be 1600x1200. If it's bigger than that, please shrink the size to the appropriate resolutions. If you can, please have the wallpaper resolution that are common to most people.
Common Resolutions: 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1600x1200
The fallowing rules applies to the member photos section of the gallery
Rule 1
Identity theft will not be allowed. if you post an image in the gallery of someone claming it is you or you look Just like this person. your image will be removed from the gallery and a 10 point infraction will be placed on your account. You may post a pic of your self if you do not have a pic of yourself then you should not be uploading anything to this section of the gallery.
The following rules applies to ALL sections of the gallery.
Rule 1
We want the gallery to be a collection of high quality pictures. If the quality is too poor then there's no point of having it here. If you found any pictures to be poor, please notify the moderators and they will be review the picture and do what it needs to be done.
Rule 2
All images must be under 2MB. If the image you are planning to submit is too big, please shrink the file size by sacrificing quality as little as possible. Else, reduce the resolution to the appropriate size and see if it helps.
Rule 3
All uploaded images must be posted to the appropriate categories. If not, they will be either be deleted or moved. Also, provide at least 1 keyword for the picture you are submitting. When people doing searches, it will be easier for them and us to find some pictures they are looking for. If you forgot to fill in the keyword section, edit the picture and fill it in there. If you don't know how to, notify the moderator about it. If no keywords found, images would most likely deleted.
Rule 4
We do not allow hotlinking pictures stored here to other sites. This steals bandwidth and can cause the gallery to shutdown for many days if the bandwidth usage went over. This will upset members here. This will have an effect on OST downloading, too! Also, the designer of the image did not gave permission to allow his or her images on other sites.
Rule 5
Although we do allow hentai images that either contains nudity or not, we do not allow any real-life images that have nudity in it. That's why there are porn sites. Please visit those sites if you are looking for those images and have fun. Any images found here will be deleted.
Rule 6
Again although we do allow Hentai images and Ecchi images. Lolita/shotacon or Loli/shota iamges are in violation of child pornography rules and laws of all countries. We do not wish to see these images on the site nor in the gallery. Images found violationg this rule after posted. will get their images removed and a 20 point infraction.
Final Rule
Have fun browsing the gallery! Post some comments on the images that are submitted from various members and sources!
