Hi Myrwyn,
We regret to inform you that one of your looks, OPERATION HUNGARY, has been flagged by our site moderators for failing to follow our 10 rules for posting. Your look will be deleted within 48 hours.
You might be thinking, "But there are so many other looks that don't follow the rules!" All the moderators do their best to delete looks that fail to follow the rules, however with over a thousand looks added per day, it is not unlikely that some are missed. With the help of our community flagging system, we eventually do review every flagged look carefully so that we can take the appropriate action.
Also, as of May 2009, we are no longer allowing looks which contain multiple people, looks that only show half an outfit, or mosaics with over 3 combined images. We are allowing older looks which were posted before May 2009 to stay on the site even if they are in violation of these two rules, but going forward we will not allow such violations.
To ensure this doesn't happen in the future, please review the new rules below. (The ones in red indicate which rules were broken.)
1. Head-to-toe photos required.
Any photo that fails to display your entire body may be removed at moderator discretion. [1]
2. Your outfit must be the focus of your photo.
If the clothes are obstructed from view or not FULLY and CLEARLY visible for ANY reason (too blurry, poor lighting, excessive editing, body does not take up a significant portion of the photo, etc.), it will be deleted.
3. Solo photos only.
Photos that display multiple people for any reason will be removed.
4. You must be in the photo.
Only photos of yourself (and not any one else) are allowed. Photos of strangers, friends, models, people you styled, etc. will all be removed. [2]
5. No more than 3 views of a single outfit.
Photos that display multiple outfits for any reason will be removed. [3]
6. DO NOT rapist photos.
Posting photos that were previously posted in an attempt to get more hype is not allowed. We notice and so does the community. Repeat posts will be deleted.
7. DO NOT post ads or spam.
If items in your photo are for sale, you must be modeling them yourself. Blatant advertising is not tolerated and violators will be banned from the community. [4]
8. DO NOT post photos that don't belong to you.
Impersonators and users who post photos they do not own the rights to will be immediately banned from the community.
9. No nudity.
This is not a porn site.
10. No photos of children.
This is not a kiddie fashion site.
--
[1] Photos that show at least 3/4 of the body—from your head down to your knees OR your neck down to your toes—may be allowed if they follow all other guidelines and are of high photographic and creative quality. Please refrain from posting non-outfit photos that are better suited for your Passbook/Space profile. They will be deleted.
[2] If you are an independent designer, grafter, or artist, you may post photos of other people if and only if they are modeling clothes made by you.
[3] Even though up to 3 views of the same outfit are allowed, at least one of the views must follow Rule 1. Any mosaic photo containing more than 3 combined images will be deleted.
[4] In other words, don't use LB to post your entire catalog of professional model shots in order to advertise your shop or business.
These guidelines are meant to keep COOKBOOK.nu a fun, safe and on-topic community. We apologize for We appreciate your contribution to our site, and we hope that you'll help us out by setting a good example for other users to follow.
Thanks for understanding,
THE LB TEAM
