Doll Bar & Grill Rules (last updated 2/27/22)

[Z-Dr]

This forum is for owners and admirers of adult dolls to talk about dolls and doll related subjects. This is NOT a forum for vendors to market dolls.  By entering and viewing this forum, you have consented that you are 18 years of age or older.  The following is a list of guidelines (rules) that govern the posting of information on this forum.  You have to be a member to post so you have already consented to the Registration Agreement so that is a binding contract.

• Play nice.  Be respectful of each other at all times.  Aggressive posting towards other members (or their dolls), actual or perceived, will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action.  We prefer banning to creating new rules.
• Any material depicting underage dolls (under 18 years old) in any sort of a sexual nature is illegal and not allowed here.  This is understandably a gray area, but we will err on the side of legality for any questionable content.
• Marketing, solicitation, fundraising, political, or religious posts are not allowed.  These will be removed and disciplinary action may result.  The only exception is marketing posts by a vendor in their own dedicated vendor thread.

Posting Guidelines (subject to moderation/disciplinary action):

• Any statement of opinion, needs to be qualified as such.  Misrepresentation of facts will not be tolerated.
• Doll brand bashing without supporting evidence will not be tolerated.  This includes bashing another members choice of doll.  Each person chooses their doll for their own unique reasons.
• Enthusiasm about specific doll brands is encouraged up to the point it appears to be marketing, which will not be tolerated.
• Cross-posting is not allowed (same post in multiple threads) and will be removed.
• Threads showing off specific dolls should be in in their appropriate boards (by doll type) and will be moved around as necessary.  The Doll Lounge is for photostories, themed photoshoots (focus is composition, not the doll), and photoshoots containing multiple doll brands.

Forum etiquette:

• Long posts without paragraph or sentence structure are extremely difficult to read and should not be posted.
• Use of different fonts, font sizes, and font colors may be "cute" but makes posts difficult to read and is discouraged.
• Centering of text may also be cute, but is extremely difficult to read and does not display well on all browsers.  Imagine reading a newspaper that was centered and not justified.  Please use centering sparingly, if at all.
• Images are highly encouraged, but please do not post multiple versions of the same image.  Pick the best representative one(s) and use a link to the image/gallery location where they reside so we can enjoy the rest of them at our own leisure.

Please feel free to make additional suggestions for rules or guidelines.

New ideas (thanks Slayers):
"Any statement of opinion, needs to be qualified as such.  Misrepresentation of facts will not be tolerated."
"Doll brand bashing without supporting evidence will not be tolerated."
"Enthusiasm about specific doll brands is encouraged up to the point it appears to be marketing, which will not be tolerated."

I'll weigh in.

"Doll brand bashing without supporting evidence will not be tolerated. This includes bashing another members choice of doll. Each person chooses their doll for their own unique reasons."

This is an anti-flame war clause.

1. Play nice.  Be respectful of each other at all times.  Aggressive posting towards other members (or their dolls), actual or perceived, will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action. We prefer banning to creating new rules.

I have 1 suggestion which kind of covers all the rules:
