## Forum and Comments Rules

* Make sure to post in the appropriate sections of the forum.
* Respect the opinions of others, do not attack other members of the community simply because you disagree with them.
* Do not use all caps when posting.

## Gallery Rules

Follow Community Rules.

* Only add images that are relevant to the subject matter.
	+ This is the tv series Sulphur Springs and all related individuals.
* Try to add quality images.
	+ Low resolution images will need to be replaced.
* Use the file format **PNG** always.
	+ Do not use JPG formatted images.
* Try to ensure images are added in chronological order of appearance in the source episode.
	+ It can be confusing to see a gallery where moments are not depicted in sequence.
* Before adding an image, check that you are not adding a duplicate image.
	+ Additionally, try to make sure the image is unique, having 20 different images of the same scene with minor differences isn't useful.
* Unless the image is showing an important plot detail, do not submit images that show nothing conclusive.
	+ We don't need images of someone's hand for example.
* Make sure to use appropriate framing guidelines.
	+ An image showing half the subject cropped out of frame is bad composition.

If you wish to discuss these rules, please leave a message on an Admin's page.
