Site Rules

GUILD MEMBERSHIP

Our members carry the distinction of being part of a community dedicated to furthering machinima. Most members maintain

residency within the virtual world of Second Life. We expect our members to conduct themselves when in-world, in a

manner that promotes the Guild and its goals. Behavior contrary to this resulting in multiple banishments and/or discipline

by Linden Labs are grounds to be removed from the Guild.

PURPOSE OF THE GUILD

Although work may be showcased here for techinical critique, the main purpose of this site is to provide information and

collaboration to assist members in production and to achieve goals within the community.

Any discussions or displays that detract from this purpose will be deleted. Persistent incidents could result in removal from

membership.

CONTENT

The Guild generally only accepts machinima made in the virtual world called Second Life.

Some exceptions to this rule can be made, please email an Administrator or Moderator if you wish to feature machinima

made on another platform or 3D software. (Upon approval please explain in your Title or Description, which platform

or software you used to create the machinima.)

We ask that you limit video uploads to 1 per day, and still images to 10 per day. They will be exhibited upon approval.

To be reviewed for approval, machinima in a language other than English must provide subtitles in English.

This is a PG rated group so some minor risqué content is acceptable so long as its purpose is for continuity of a greater non-

sexual storyline.

That being said, the following items are deemed unacceptable:

Unless the intent is to educate, any racial or social intolerence will not be permitted.

Excessive profanity. (An occassional word or two for emphasis is ok.) Remember, profanity may prevent your machinima from being selected for use in certain public exibitions. (Linden sponsored events like the Second Life bitrthday celebration for example.)

Machinima that exhibits scenes of nude or semi-nude children.

Machinima that depicts children in the presence of, participating in or observing sexual activity.

Machinima that is pornographic, or where sexual activity, implied or otherwise, is the main vehicle used to impart the storyline.

This condition applies to both audio and visual content.

We must also stay within the parameters set forth by the NING PLATFORM TOS that supports this site.

Finally the Second Life Machinima Artists Guild's Administrators and assigned Moderators may delete content on the site

deemed inappropriate by the above guidelines, without prior notice or explanation.

MY CONTENT GOT DELETED.... WHAT NOW?

First, review the site rules above and the Ning Platform TOS. You probably missed something within your video or photo that

was outside of site guidelines.

Second. A link to the Art with Attitude Network has been provided under the "Machinima" tab. There all content is totally

unmoderated, it will be between you and NING if your work gets deleted.
