- For a trial period this new rule replaces our original rule on photos. After a period of time, we will use your comments and experiences to adjust and finalize this rule.
No more than two media links may be posted each day by a visitor. A media link is a photo, video, slideshow or photo album of your personal bird(s). We all love to see and enjoy your babies, but need to ensure that everyone has space to post and that posts from people needing help do not roll off the board too soon. Note in the subject or body of the message what type of media file is being linked to (video, slideshow, etc). Also as a courtesy to those with slower connections, please indicate the size of the video or slide show in the post.
Old rule
No more than 2 photos may be posted each day by a visitor. - If an individual continues to post questionable messages, he or she may be banned from the site. This will be left to the moderators judgement.
