Quick Reference: Photography & Photographic Manipulation sites see rule #6 AVS/Membership sites see rule #4, 8, 9, 10 Poser sites please see rule #6b MicroSoft Front Page users see rule #14 The Erotic Art Ring Rules: Each page will be judged on its own merit and creativity, however it's central theme must be or showcase some form of EROTIC ART. This Erotic Art WebRing welcomes diverse styles and subjects from webmasters who'll uphold the integrity & rules as each site is a representative of this Erotic Art WebRing. I suppose this makes this WebRing unique from other ones. While this Ring grows, rules will be implemented as needed to ensure this integrity. This Erotic Art WebRing is a collection of the finest Erotic Art sites on the web today. We do appreciate and respect international laws with regard to copyrights as most of us are in one way or another protected by these laws. The following 'Rules' are in place to guarantee all the 'Rights' of artists everywhere. Since this Erotic Art WebRing is composed almost entirely of artists, we want to ensure all our member's rights and benefits, and offer a secure and responsible association that will represent and promote all of its united membership. 1/. All members must adhere to the regulations of this Erotic Art WebRing fully. DON'T apply here if you aren't willing to abide by each rule, therfore, please read the complete rules list before filling out the membership form below. These rules are in place to safe guard all of the best intersts and rights of our membership, thus this WebRing is unlike any other. Yes, we take this seriously, and all the rules below are enforced and applied equally to sites large and small. Thus we have expectations of our membership, and they are as follows... 2/. This is perhaps the MOST important rule. Our WebRing HTML fragment and logo must appear only on either your entry or main page proudly, not on your links page, nor on a seperate 'webring listings' page nor any other page that is obscured and difficult to locate. This is to ensure the easiest navigation for the surfers of this webring AND, more importantly, to ensure high visibility to those unfamiliar with the Erotic Art WebRing. We expect that your site will afford the Erotic Art WebRing exposure to new surfers. If you are currently a member of other webrings that have overtly large or vertical logos, or an abundance of sponsorship banners such that placing our HTML fragment/logo under such is considered obscuring and/or burying it. We are stringent upon this expectation of sites and hopefully you'll understand that this rule is in place to protect the entire collective, our contributing membership. 2b/. HTML fragment and logo must have decent visibility on the above stated pages. Sites who display the HTML fragment in an obscure or hidden position, in our discretion, will be asked to reposition it to our mutual satisfaction. If you use Microsoft Front Page ensure that the logo for the Erotic Art WebRing is visible to Netscape Navigator users (see rule #14 for an expansion of this issue). 3/. No webpage will be considerd that over-uses pop-Up consoles. (As this offends many and aggravates everyone else). Don't bother submitting for membership if you have pop-up or exit consoles in place. 4/. No webpage will be considered that has no free visible artistic content. If your webpage is AVS protected or has otherwise restrictive entery requirements implemented then there must be a free public display of Erotic Artwork samples visible, at least 4 large and clear pics. 4b/. All site's which use AVS or have a membership program in place must have their interior Erotic Art content verifed by the Erotic Art WebRing's Ringmaster for compliance of these rules. Therfore, submit the necessary information in an e-mail after you have submitted the form below. 5a/. Sites that include modified art, meaning, digitally or otherwise changing or manipulating another artist's work, copying art from other artists or creating forgeries will not be considered for membership, and any site that is found in violation will be subject to immediate removal. 5b/. We will not accept into our membership sites whose major content/hype or attraction consists of wallpapers and/or screensavers. 5c/. We will not accept into our collective 'community' websites such as Yahoo, Excite, MSN ect. 6/. As a general rule towards photography sites or digitally manipulated photography while acknowledging their own unique artistic characteristics, they will not be considered into this WebRing. There are other, more applicable Ring's available to them...for instance The Erotic Photography & Art WebRing.  6b/. Regarding 3D digital art sites (Poser users): In regards to the use of the various artistic elements described below, the Erotic Art Webring cannot accept the membership application of sites in which the elements listed below constitute more than 25% of the erotic artwork displayed at the applying site. The 25% figure, and the decision as to what constitutes that percentage, is to be determined solely by the Erotic Art Webring management. Elements (Overuse of them are not permitted in the Erotic Art WebRing): Clip art, public domain imagery of all types, public domain 3D objects, and all 3D objects and elements not created directly by the artist. This includes, but is not limited to, clip art from a purchased collection, 3D mesh objects purchased from a 3rd party vendor, 3D mesh objects in the public domain, and 3D mesh objects produced from a specialized package such as MetaCreations' Poser, as well as the bitmaps used with the 3D mesh objects. 7/. This ring does not believe in censorship of creative visual expression. However, certain subjects including the exploitation of minors and animals and excessive violence/blood are taboo in this Erotic Art Webring. No kids, No bestiality, No Snuf. No links to any such sites can be listed upon your site including your links pages. No 'Lolita' art section may appear on your site. 7b/. Your site must not be affiliated, associated or have links to any 'bestiality' sites. You mustn't be edorsing, profiting in any way or have any artwork displayed on any 'bestiality' sites. 8/. If art is offered for sale in any way or form, either digitally, in print, original art or in any other form, webmasters have to be in full legal possession of all rights according to international law. If there's any doubt to that regard, based upon our discretion, the site can not qualify for entry and/or can and will be removed. 9/. Collectors and appreciators of Erotic Art who display their collection on the internet, without permission of the artist(s) for whatever reasons, do actually infringe on international copyright laws, but we feel that the display of collections is benificiairy to the artist as long as proper creditation is added and if it's not for personal gain or profit. The artist's work must be sufficiently credited according to this Erotic Art Webring's standards and discretion. 9b/. Collectors and appreciators of Erotic Art cannot have membership or AVS in place, as they are not in full legal possession of the artworks they display, therfore may not finacially profit from the displayed artwork(s) in any way. 10/. Any site involved in the distribution of artworks without proper permission and creditation of the artist, in any way or form, will be not be considered for membership and/or be subject to removal. 11/. Those involved in the management of this Erotic Art WebRing reserves the right to deny membership and/or remove any existing site that is found, in our opinions, to be in violation of the above stated rules and/or any other related international copyright laws. 12/. Only sites with their own domain names will be considered for membership. We are not accepting sites hosted by Geocities, Xoom, Tripod, Lycos, The Globe or any other free hosting company including Yahoo or Microsoft Groups. 13/. Sites who use Microsoft Front Page in their construction must make sure that their artistic content is visible for ALL surfers to see and admire which includes those who use Netscape Navigator. Please note that your site will be reviewed using Netscape Navigator as it is the browser of preference for those in the management of the Erotic Art WebRing. Also note, if you use MS Front Page, please do not request assistance from us in installing the HTML fragment/logo. We do not use that software, nor do we encourage it's useage. We do recommend that you learn HTML. 14/. We reserve the right to deny membership to any site who in our OPINION does not compliment our collective membership or appeal to our valued surfer's demographic. Sites with minimal or hidden samples, offensive, political or tasteless content, weak site design, over use of java script, page chaining or the over abundent display of advertising/porno banners will be denied membership.
