    Sexy Videos (Pro) Forum Rules

    This forum is for posting professional adult-oriented video clips via download files only.

    No new megathreads may be created without prior approval from the Mod Staff!

    Do a SEARCH before posting to avoid reposts.


    1. Standard Definition & High Definition Videos

    a. The main Sexy Videos Forum is for Standard Definition videos only. Any video clip GREATER THAN or EQUAL TO 1280x720 (720p) in resolution must be posted in the HD Video sub-forum.VR (Virtual Reality) Videos must be posted in the VR Video sub-forum.

    b. Video clips posted in the wrong forum will be trashed.

    c. Upscaled versions of Standard Definition videos (e.g. increasing the size of a 380p video to 720p) are not considered HD content and are forbidden. The same applies to upscaled versions of HD content as well. Any such altered content discovered or reported will be removed, possibly with bias against the content poster.


    2. Thread Titles

    a. Thread titles must be as accurate and complete as possible and include the following information:

    - Use an abbreviation (not full name) of your filehost(s) at the beginning of the thread title, eg (K2S), [SO], or [UL/DF]. Use a space to separate such tags from the rest of the title. For standardized host tags see here
    - Performer name(s). If the performer is transsexual it's mandatory to use the "Trans" prefix.
    - The video title as issued by the studio and/or website of origin.
    b. Correct spelling is important, and do not replace any letters in thread titles with non-alphabetic characters such as numbers or symbols or use any non-English alphabets or accents.

    Proper Title: [DF/UL] Gina B, Donna Bell - Naughty Blondes

    Improper Title: All Girls with Big bOObs in your dream
    c. English language only.

    d. Do not use ALL CAPS for titles, except for acronyms or abbreviations.

    e. Use Thread Prefixes where applicable. For more information see here
    3. Body of the Post

    *Images & Info

    a. Screencaps are required. One random pic is not a sufficient representation of the video clip being offered.

    b. Create and post YOUR OWN screencaps. Screencaps pirated from another member will be grounds for having your post trashed/deleted!

    c. Screencaps must be uploaded using a phun-approved imagehost.

    d. Screencaps must be posted as as clickable thumbnails. Hotlinking screencaps/vidcaps is forbidden.

    e. See the "Misc Tools" section below for recommended screencap programs.

    f. FileInfo about the file(s) you are posting is required, including:
    - File Format
    - File Size
    - Screen Resolution
    - Video Duration
    *Filehost Links

    a. Download links must be posted according to the Filehost rules.

    b. FileInfo must be posted as text in the body of your thread, even if the information is included on your screencap.

    c. Provide direct link(s) to your download links. No link-shorteners, link-protectors, or link-anonymizers (or anything similar).

    d. Provide any password(s) for password-protected files.

    e. Do Not use BB Spoiler code to hide any portion of text or download links in your posts. They will be deleted or trashed and you will be warned or worse!

    f. Preview your post for rules and spelling compliance before submitting it.

    g. Follow the rules regarding the use of FileHosts and ImageHosts - failure to do so will result in your posts/threads being deleted.

    h. File Splitting: See the guidelines for file splitting in the Phun-Approved Imagehosts & Filehosts thread!

    i. Any upscaling, downscaling or any other editing of the resolution or bit-rate, or 'optimizing' of video clips is not permitted.If you are posting older content that comes from self encoded DVD or VHS, or you're posting moderator approved compilation videos, then this rule may not apply.

    4. Maximum Posts Per Day (per 24 hours)


    a. You are allowed to post a maximum of 20 videos per day (24 hours), whether you post them in one thread (megathread) or as individual threads/posts. Post each video clip as a separate post. Multiple video posts are not allowed! This includes posts across Sexy Videos (Pro), Sexy Videos (Pro-HD),Sexy Videos (VR) and Sexy Videos (Amateur) forums.

    >> Anything above 20 video clips may result in some (or all) of the offending posts being trashed/deleted <<

    5. Supplementary Hosts : Defined as filehost links added to an existing thread.


    a. The original poster may add Supplementary Hosts to his thread at any time.
    The original poster will have complete exclusivity for a scene for 48 hours. Anyone else posting any variations of the scene during this exclusive period will be considered a repost and removed. This includes alternative sizes, alternative names of the scene, file hosts, etc. HD and SD forum threads for the same scene are permitted by different posters, as before.

    b. Others may add Supplementary Hosts to a thread only when 48 hours have elapsed following the original post date. Any posts or threads created prior to the 48 hour grace period will be removed/trashed.

    c.
    Alternative versions:
    • Clips with different resolutions should only be added after 48 hours and must follow mandatory filehost/general posting guidelines.
    • Clips of the same resolution on different file hosts should only be added after 48 hours and must follow mandatory filehost/general posting guidelines.
    • Posting of the same resolution on the same host as an active link will be considered a repost and will be removed.
    • If you want to reup content from an existing thread with dead links as a new thread, you must report the existing thread in forum issues.

    d. Any post of additional content MUST FULLY COMPLY with Section 3 of the Rules. DO NOT assume the information provided by the OP will sufficiently identify the duplicate content you are providing. Furthermore, DO NOT simply copy and paste the info and images used in the OP. You must also title your post appropriately, as described in Section 2.

    6. Megathreads


    No new megathreads may be created without prior approval from the Mod Staff!

    In order to qualify, members are not permitted to create a megathread until they have achieved at least their first colour change (i.e. their postcount has passed 1500). All megathreads are subject to specific guidelines given at the time of mod approval.

    6.1 Rules Governing Existing Megathreads

    a. All posts within a megathread must follow the same rules as single post threads.

    b. Megathreads may be "private" (restricted to posts by the thread owner) or "open" (where members are invited to contribute). This should be indicated in the title.

    c. Megathread owners are responsible for the environment within their own megathreads, and should report instances of abuse such as off-theme posts, reposts, or over the limit posts, via the Forum Issues thread.

    d. Megathreads that become a source of trouble of any kind will be closed or trashed!

    7. Reposts


    a. Search before posting. Reposts are NOT allowed. A Repost is defined as any duplicate content posted separately from previously posted content which DOES NOT comply with the rules outlined in Section 5. Supplementary Hosts.

    b. You may repost content if dead links in the original post are more than 48 hours (2 days) old.

    c. Any attempt(s) to circumvent the repost rules will be dealt with accordingly. Examples include: changing file names, vague thread titles, using alternative names for a scene, posting content in a mega-thread to avoid detection, etc.

    d. Cross-Posting (posting the same content in multiple threads) is not allowed. Cross-Posts may be deleted at a mods discretion.

    e. Reposts and older posts with dead filehost links may be reported in the Forum Issues thread.

    8. Banned Content (Prohibited Content)


    a. No depictions of rape (even fantasy), bestiality, child pornography, or incest of any kind - immediate ban if you do!

    b. No depictions of the inflicting of pain or of actual bodily harm, or the coercive use of force!

    c. No FULL MOVIES or DVD Rips.

    d. Do not post any content from any of the web-models that are active on this board.

    e. No archive threads.

    f. No animation, including but not limited to, Hentai, Manga or Anime.

    g. No illegal or beyond-common-sense content. examples HERE

    9. General Rules


    a. Commenting on newly posted content is okay but lengthy discussions are discouraged because Sexy Videos is not considered a chat forum. If you wish to get into a raging debate with someone, do it via pm or start a thread in an appropriate forum such as The Lounge. All discussion and chat in this section will be subject to the Phun.org Personal Conduct Guidelines.

    b. No request or "who is this" threads please. There is a Request Thread in the Model Forum for that purpose.

    c. No self-bumping of your own threads is allowed. Do not resurrect (bump) threads that have been inactive for more than 2 weeks, unless you are adding content allowed by another rule.

    d. Do not bump a thread with "Thanks" or anything similar. Use the LIKE button (down at the bottom left hand corner). Do not bump threads with request for "reups." Contact the OP via private message (conversation) instead.

    e. STREAMING VIDEOS are not allowed.

    f. Help in sorting things out by reporting threads/posts in Forum Issues is appreciated - also helping good-willing new members by providing advice and guidance.

    ** Please also read the forum phun.org General Policy/Information.

    10. Miscellaneous Tools


    a. Image Mass-Uploading
    IIIUploader for ImageVenue, ImageBam, ImageHaven, ShareNXS, etc.

    b. Image Mass-Downloading
    BulkImageDownloader - http://bulkimagedownloader.com/

    Mourao Image Grabber - MIG

    c. Full Size ScreenCaps:
    Media Player Classic: media player classic

    VLC Player: VLC Media Player

    d. Contact-sheet Thumbnail Screencaps

    Video Thumbnails Maker 5.0.0.1: ThumbMaker

    Thumbnail Me 3.0: http://www.thumbnailme.com/

    Tutorials about screencapping and image-hosting are HERE and HERE. Also, feel free to ask mods/regulars for help.

    Breaking any of these rules may lead to thread deleting/trashing!
    Persistent violations will lead to a ban!

    Enjoy posting and have phun!

    Thanks,

    The phun.org Staff

    In an effort to maintain consistency regarding the posting of images throughout the forum, hotlinking images in the video section threads is now forbidden. As of today use thumbnails only.

    A comment on the porn industries growing acceptance of faux incest. As I have been seeing an increasing number of valued contributors posting content that is not permitted.
    I just removed threads for scenes from the movie 'Sex With My Younger Sister 3' which clearly should not have been posted in the first place.

    Our rules are clear about incest.

    Though obviously fake much of this content falls under our prohibited content rules.
    If a DVD or scene title indicates that blood relation are involved then DO NOT post it on phun.
    We have been allowing step-relation scenes (reluctantly perhaps) and will continue to do so.
    If you are unsure if content is appropriate clear it with a moderator BEFORE you post it. Inappropriate content warnings are each half way to a 2 week ban, so be sure first.

    And has been the case here any promoting of incest in any way will result in an immediate ban. This includes using that word as a host tag or in a group of search words, or posting descriptions of a scene depicting it as incest.

    Thank you for your understanding.
