TO POSTERS WISHING A PROFILE REVIEW
- If you're NOT ASKING FOR A PROFILE REVIEW - your thread WILL BE DELETED. This forum is not a platform to just rant or make general observations about other people's profiles.
- Have You Recently Updated Your Profile and Want More Comments?
DO NOT post a new thread every time you make a change to your profile, but rather, continue to use your original thread. Click on your My Forums link, (or HERE) in the upper right, to locate your old review thread and reply to it stating you've made changes and would like further opinions.
- All requests for a review cannot exclude anyone from reviewing it or only ask for a certain segment of the users to review it.
- Threads that are started to just specifically rate your picture will also be deleted. Ask to have your entire profile critiqued for written content and ask for suggestions as to how to make it appealing.
- Do NOT hijack other's review threads, If you want a review, start your own thread.
- Please note that you are asking people for their opinions on your profile, responding to honest criticism by flaming your reviewers will be dealt with accordingly.
- Do not post someone else's profile to review it.
- Don't bump old threads - it's pointless if the thread owner is no longer on the site .

TO REVIEWERS
Granted, there may be posters who cannot spell, have little grammatical prowess, are completely socially dysfunctional and unaware, and may be aggressively offensive and unreceptive to suggestions - but this does not give you carte blanche to reply in the same manner. The Acceptable Use & Posting Rules and Forum Posting Guidelines are very much applicable to everyone here.
As with any part of the site, there will be no tolerance of posting styles that include any of the following, but not limited to Flaming, Flamebaiting, Trolling the User or:
- Belittling anyone;
- Direct Personal Flaming / Insulting them;
- Adding any snide or condescending quips in order to goad and incite further degradation of the review;
or
- Replying to a flame, rather than reporting it;
- Making any posts that are non contributive;
- Blatantly off topic chatting;
Understand the difference between a direct personal insult and saying something they wrote or a picture of theirs sucks - One is personal, and not permitted and the other is opinion. However if that's all your review amounts to without any helpful suggestions - tread lightly.
New users and posters should feel welcomed and genuinely helped, not belittled to the point of closing their accounts. Not everyone has a thick skin and "get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat" is not an acceptable excuse for anyone's unacceptable conduct. Know your audience and tailor to their needs, within reason.
