Code Of Conduct: Difference between revisions

'''Rule 6:''' No member of Savez.net '''shall pay any money''' in order to obtain information, scans, or images for this site. Do not accept offers from people trying to sell you their scans. Information will be obtained freely, and distributed freely.

'''Rule 7: We do not accept watermarked images'''. If you watermark your images with your own "copyright", it will be instantly deleted from the site, and actions may be taken to penalize your account. '''Note:''' this only applies to '''baked-in watermarks''' (ones that lay text on, or alter the original image). '''Crediting yourself in the file name or description of the upload is allowed.'''

'''Rule 8:''' Speaking of credit, if you're uploading someone else's scans, '''please do what you can to get their permission,''' unless they've already uploaded it somewhere public like YouTube. You should always make it known if a scan is not yours, and try to credit the source, if they wish. You can do this in places like the '''"Notes" section''' of the variants panels, or in the '''description''' when you upload the image.

'''Rule 9:''' Savez is a '''serious''' wiki, and we expect our users to '''act in a professional manner'''. We will '''delete pages''' and suspend users who we deem to be acting '''childish and inappropriate'''.

'''Rule 10:''' Be '''descriptive''' with your filenames. '''Don't just upload "front.jpeg"''', because it will be '''much harder to find and reuse.''' The general file naming scheme we've been using thus far is as follows: "'''[Album]'''-'''[type]'''-'''[orientation]'''-'''[Year, optional]'''-'''[Signature]'''.png". '''[Album]''' is the album name, '''[type]''' is the object (Tape, j-card, CD, cover), '''[Orientation]''' (front, back), '''[Year]''' is the year the release is from (don't include it if you aren't sure) and '''[Signature]''' is your initials or username. It's a lot to take in, but let's say I uploaded scans of Idemo Dalje, I'd write '''"IdemoDalje-jcard-front-Generacide.jpeg"'''. Pretty easy.

'''Rule 11: Do not upload known, copyrighted audio to this site.''' This may result in '''DMCA takedowns of the wiki''', and we may '''suspend your account'''. ''Linking'' to audio uploaded to '''Spotify or archive.org is permitted'''. We do allow audio uploads for completely unknown or lost works, but we will remove them if the owner contacts us, or once we gather more information on it.
