Portfolio Showcases – Rules & Guidelines

[Picture Perfect Agency]

*You must have at least 50 posts/threads in order to create a thread in this section*

The Portfolio Showcases section is designed for members to share their work, receive constructive feedback, and promote their skills. To keep this space inspiring and professional, please follow these guidelines:

1. Stay on Topic
This section is strictly for showcasing portfolios (photography, modeling, makeup, design, etc.).
If you are looking for work or collaborators, please post in the appropriate section.

2. Provide Context for Your Work
Include a brief description of your work (e.g., project background, techniques used, or inspiration).
If requesting feedback, be specific about what kind of critique you are looking for.

3. Be Respectful & Constructive
Give helpful, constructive feedback—avoid rude, unhelpful, or overly harsh comments.
No bullying, discrimination, or personal attacks on a member's work.
If you dislike something, express it professionally and offer suggestions for improvement.

4. No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion
You may promote your work, but don't flood the forum with multiple posts in a short period.
External links to your website, social media, or online portfolio are allowed if relevant (avoid generic self-promo).
No commercial advertisements (e.g., selling products or services).

5. Respect Copyright & Ownership
Post only your own work unless you have explicit permission to share someone else's.
Do not steal, alter, or repost someone else's content without credit.
If using AI-generated images, disclose it in your post.

6. Keep It Safe for Work (NSFW Content Rules)
Mild artistic nudity is allowed if clearly labeled [NSFW], but no explicit content.
Content that is overly graphic, violent, or inappropriate will be removed.

Rule Violations & Consequences
Failure to follow these rules may result in the following actions:

Warning – A moderator will remind the member of the rules.
Post Removal – Violating posts may be removed without prior notice.
Temporary Suspension – Repeated rule-breaking may result in a temporary ban.
Permanent Ban – Serious offenses (e.g., harassment, plagiarism, explicit content) may result in a permanent ban.

Reporting Violations: If you notice stolen work, inappropriate content, or rule-breaking behavior, please report it to a moderator with supporting details.
