I have an idea. On the main page, we put a small notice saying:
SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN VISITING IMFDb:
1) Pages should be completed to the best of the user's ability, empty or poorly built pages with little or no effort will be removed. Use already completed pages of proper format by reputable users of the site (such as the administators [link to the Mods page with list of admins.]) as an example if you are unfimiliar with the site's construction.
2) No bootleg images, please. In occordance with federal law, IMFDb prohibits the usage of bootlegs images from films not yet publically released. Even after release they should remain unused, as they are of poor quality and ugly.
3) Make no uneccessary or incorrect edits to pages. If you believe information on a page is incorrect but are unsure, comment on it in the "Discussion" section of the page so it can be confirmed. Never add your "gut-feeling" insite to a page.
4) Be polite. Keep swearing to a minimum and try to refrain from harsh argument or bashing of another user.
5) Have fun and enjoy the site.
What do you guys think? Could we put this on the front of the main page (maybe as a more stylish template) and is there maybe more we could add? Obviously we can't list all the rules right on the main page but that seems to cover our main basics on annoynances.
Someone loaded the Wolverine page with bootlegs so I had to stop making Watchmen to take time and delete every single image from the site. What a pain. I made a note he was breaking federal law, warned him he was at risk or being banned, and left an obvious comment on the top of the page (somewhat expressing my aggrivation over the extra work)
