Terms of Service - Rules & Regulations

Spamming is forbidden. You may not use your membership to spam others. Spamming will get you banned. So will harassment of other members. From a legal standpoint: only upload images for which you have permission, hold the copyright, or which you have taken yourself. IGOTASTi.COM is not responsible for your legal troubles. This is an open forum. We rely upon the reporting by our members to make us aware of violations of policy or forbidden behavior on this site. Please do let us know.

Most violations will be accompanied by a warning. Continuous violations or egregious violations will incur the wrath of the administrators and get you banned. Membership fees will not be refunded for TOS violations. Remember, posts which come to the attention of moderators will be subject to change, and moderator decisions are final.

These are some guidelines to follow when using our forums.

No trolls or trolling allowed
No vending unless authorized to do so. Commercial posts are not allowed nor are posts that can be deemed as advertising? for that, you should contact us to arrange for advertising options and rates
