Creative Backyard Rules (Updated October 19, 2025)

Creative Backyard Rules

The Creative Backyard was established to acknowledge Phunners' various talents.

1. The Basics

a. Only Phunner's Original Work! -edits, sigs, walls, collages, words, poems, lyrics, music, novels, stories, photos... - things you find on the web are appreciated HERE.

b. AI-Works, Photo-manipulations, Photo-enhancings, Fakes and similar content must be posted in our new subforum here.
The access is limited to members only.

Posting such content in the regular Creative Backyard section is prohibited and will lead to trashing the content and a personal warning.
Ignoring the warning will lead to a ban.

c. Although there´s no mandate to add your work to already existing threads - check those first and consider adding your contributions to them before starting a thread of your own.

d. Be creative, expose yourself, be kind to those who do.

e. Enjoy your stay and take care that all the others have a chance to do so too.

f. Feel free to show/acknowledge a source that inspired your creation or was its start point.

g. English language only (except for foreign film titles). Non-English alphabets, accents, diacritics, runes and hieroglyphs screw up the search system, and should not be used.​

2. Body of the Post

a. Images and GIFs should be posted as clickable thumbnails; all thumbnails are to be comprised of still images only. Hotlinking multiple images is discouraged.

b. Images and GIFs offered via filehost download must be previewed as clickable thumbs.

c. All Images and GIFs posted must be uploaded to one of our Approved Imagehosts!

d. Download links must be posted according to the Filehost rules.

e. Provide direct link(s) to your download links. No link-shorteners, link-protectors, or link-anonymizers (or anything similar).

f. Provide any password(s) for password-protected files.

g. Preview your post for rules and spelling compliance before submitting it.

h. Follow the rules regarding the use of FileHosts and ImageHosts - failure to do so will result in your posts/threads being deleted.​

3. Banned Content

a. Do not post any rape, bestiality, or incest, even if only implied!

b. UNDER-AGE nude or pornographic images will NOT be tolerated! The practice of posting naked pics of anyone thought to be under the age of 18 is strictly forbidden. The forum-wide rule on the age of all subjects in images is 18+, and it doesn't simply apply to celebrities. If Staff have any doubts about the age of any girls portrayed in a post we may delete the entire post even if it's just one pic that proves questionable. We don't have to prove they're underage, we just have to assume it
​

5. General Rules

a. Mind your manners! All discussion and chat in this section will be subject to the Phun.org Rules Of Personal Conduct.

c. No individual request threads. This is the place for requests and "who is this?" inquiries.

d. Do not resurrect (bump) threads which are older than 2 weeks if you don't have any new content.

e. We have a new procedure for stickying threads. Please see THIS thread.

** Please also read the forum phun.org General Rules / FAQ.
