Forum Rules / [updated: 06-19-21] Posting guideline
Italian VEF Rules French VEF Rules German VEF Rules Russian VEF Rules Spanish VEF Rules
V.E.F. Forum Rules
Take time to read the rules and post accordingly
Note that the 'Do not post any' section in this post is the only current and valid list of what is not allowed to be posted on VEF. It will be updated when necessary. Same goes for the other rules: when anything gets updated in the forum rules, the tag [updated 'date of the update'] will be modified in the thread title to indicate there were changes. Check up on this post to see the changes made when that happens.
Big thanks to all the good posters we have here at VEF, for whom these rules are not really needed, as you already do great work!
Basic Rules:- you must be at least 18 years of age.
- use the English language on the forum, but remember this is an international forum, so use plain English. Also do not use text speak or 'slang' - expressions in the category of "dude", "bitch" and "ho" are unwanted.
- don't forget this is a vintage erotica forum. Material released after 1995 is off topic in the 'Classic' and 'Vintage' forums. Only exceptions are that in the threads of Classic models and celebs, their recent work is also allowed, and in 'Classic Movies' and 'Classic & Vintage Magazines,' material released up until 1997 is allowed.
- make your requests to the appointed request forums:
- Magazine Request
- Model ID Request
- Classic Pornstar Movie Clips Request
- Classic Movie Request
- Classic Movie ID Request
- Other Requests.
Do not make them in the other forums.
- take care of your account and login - keep it safe, use a strong password! ... not "12345" or your username as password. If your account gets "hacked" and abused to spread spam, malware or phishing, you will get banned. Do not complain to us if that happens, it is your responsibility.
- VEF moderators reserve the right to remove or edit posts without notice. When this happens - do not repost! Due to our limited resources, you may not receive a message explaining the removal. An explanation will almost always be found in the Forum Rules.
- we expect some level of commitment and participation in the forum. We understand that not everybody can contribute to the topics, that's no problem. Stick to the forum rules, thank the posters and remember that it's give and take. We will not tolerate members who only request or break the rules.
Immediate Ban will follow on:- posting ch1ld pornography or any material featuring models under 18 years old in sexual poses
- rape, sadistic, violence, nazi themed posts, extreme S&M, or extreme perverse material like scat
- having attitude problems towards the moderators or fellow members
- ignoring forum rules big time when posting - then there will be no two warning steps
- posting spam, phishing, viruses or malware
Banning Procedure:
Besides an immediate ban, forum staff use a 3-step banning system. Moderators can choose to use PM's to give you some free advice, but official procedures when a member breaks forum or posting rules are:- first offence: you will receive an official warning, which will be logged.
- second offence: you will receive an official penalty, which will be logged
- third offence: you will be banned - your VEF account will be blocked permanently
Banned hosts, services and sites:
Do not post any content from the following performers and producers:
- Alexandra Quinn, pre-1991
- Bravo (German teen magazine)
- BlackCatScans
- Misty Regan, pre-1981
- Traci Lords
- vladmodels.ru
Be aware that several websites, link redirects, link protectors, file/image hosts and streaming content providers are banned from use at VEF. If posted, they will get automatically censored, making them look something like this: *******.com. When that happens then stop using them and remove the censored links from your post. There are too many to list, but here are some examples:- blogspot.com
- celebclk.com
- letitbit.net
- linkbucks.com
- lix.in
- relink.us

- urlcash.net
- xhamster.com
- ImageTwist
- TurboImage
- ...
All links to filehosts must be available for free download. Links that require premium account are not allowed.
Note that link protectors are not allowed - use plain links. Of the link redirects only anonym.to is allowed, and of the streaming content providers only dailymotion.com & youtube.com.

Specific posting rules of individual forums
Please note: All members should read the specific posting rules for each section as any changes made there may not be reflected here:
Image Hosts:
Use a host that includes a gallery for easy browsing & downloading.
Examples:Any posts made using an image host that does not support a gallery option are subject to removal without notice.
Troubleshooting:- if you have problems completing your registration and/or you did not receive an activation email (make sure that you entered a correct (no typos) and valid e-mail adress during registration), then you can ask for assistance in this thread. Until you complete your registration you will not have full access and posting rights.
- if you lost your password and want to have it reset and emailed to you, then go to this page. Note: you need to provide the email address at which your account was registered ... the reset password will be mailed only to that email address. If your account was registered under an address to which you no longer have access, then you can ask for help in this thread.
- if you are stuck with registration, account, login or username problems for which you can find no solution, then you can use the Contact Us option to request assistance.
- feel free to post a query in the Help and Guides Section for any issues, problems or questions you might have. We will try to help you out.
Canceling membership / Removing your account:- if you want to cancel your membership and have your account removed, then make a request via the Contact Us form. This is not an action you can complete on your own.
Posting guideline:
Using the 'Thanks' button: thank the posters when you see something you appreciate - without their work there would be no VEF. But don't use short replies to say thanks for a post. Thank a poster by clicking on the 'Thanks' button on the right-bottom corner of the post you want to thank:
![](http://img147.imagevenue.com/loc403/th_64153_Thanks_123_403lo.jpg)
Make it a habit to hit that button. For many posters, receiving no thanks or very few compared to the number of downloads, is a reason to stop contributing.
Leave out unnecessary short comments or bumps. By doing this you help to improve the quality of the threads and spare us the short replies that clutter the forum without contributing real value. Truth is that members with email subscriptions to threads get annoyed by these posts and such posts also need to be removed to keep the forum going. It's a lot of work for us mods, so take responsibility for what you post and keep VEF an organized and quality forum.
Quoting posts: Do not quote the entire content of another post - it is a waste of space and only creates unwanted doubles. If there is a need to quote a post, then remove all non-relevant images and text, and leave a maximum of 2 to 3 images. When quoting movie posts, don't include links to the filehost. If you are not familiar with how to trim a quote then use the "Preview" button to experiment before you submit the reply - you will need to take out part of the code/text between the tags [QUOTE=membername;1234567] and [/QUOTE]
Reporting a post: If you see harmful links, spam or other problem posts, then click the button in that post, add a small comment about it, and press 'Send Report.' This will help us to spot and remove them quicker:

Reporting a Private Message (PM): this works the same way as reporting a post. If you are sent a private message with abusive/unwanted content, then click the button in that PM, add a small comment about it, and press 'Send Report.' It will get forwarded to us mods, so that we can have a look and take care of it:
