From the Forum FAQ:

Rules:
This forum falls under the "Industry Forum" category and has a more strict set of rules than other forums.  Please view the Forum Rules for more information. 

What is different about the Industry forums?

In addition to the regular forum rules, there are two that apply specifically to Tier 3 Forums—Model Matters; Photography Talk; Hair, Makeup & Styling; and Digital Art and Retouching.

(31) No BS: While this is Model Mayhem, we would like to keep a nice balance between the mayhem and being resourceful.    This is where the "Industry Forums" come in to play.  All forums under this header are meant to be used for serious discussion only.  Please think before you post and only hit the submit button if you have a well thought out contribution.  Junk posts/threads do not belong here.  These forums will be heavily moderated by the Forum Mods.  If they feel someone is too much of a nuisance, the offender could be banned from the forums.

(32) No drama: Keep the drama out of these forums.  If you get into it with someone, please at least keep it civil.  Or else both parties will be brigged.

The No BS and No Drama rules include posts similar to the following:

* “In before the lock”
* “Not this [bleep] again”
* "Use Tri-X" in a thread about digitally converting to black-and-white
* "Buy a Mac" in a "The color on my Vista machine isn't right" thread
* “Shoot with a different model” in a retouching thread
* "Get it right in camera" in a "How do I retouch this" thread.

Other discouraged practices include posts that only complain about spelling or grammar or correcting someone else’s corrections about spelling or grammar.

Such posts have a long history of disrupting threads, and fall under the No BS rule as well as the No Hijacking and Don’t Troll site rules. Consider very carefully whether the post is a serious contribution before clicking on Reply.
