Forum Guidelines

Welcome to the ELS Replica Forum, a community built for fans, collectors, cosplayers, and enthusiasts who share a passion for replica costumes and screen-accurate fashion. To keep this space respectful, informative, and enjoyable for everyone, please follow the guidelines below.

1. Respect Every Member

We value open discussion, but kindness comes first. Treat other members with respect — no harassment, personal attacks, or hate speech will be tolerated. Constructive disagreement is welcome; disrespect is not.

2. Stay On Topic

Please keep discussions relevant to replica costumes, cosplay, fashion design, and related topics. Off-topic conversations may be moved or removed to maintain the forum’s focus.

3. No Spam or Self-Promotion

Avoid posting repetitive content, irrelevant links, or unsolicited advertisements. If you’d like to promote your own work or shop, please use the Design Showcase or Marketplace section (where allowed) following our promotional rules.

4. Share Responsibly

When sharing costume images, designs, or tutorials, make sure you own the rights or credit the original source properly. Plagiarism, stolen designs, or reposting copyrighted content without permission is not allowed.

5. Keep It Safe and Legal

Do not share or discuss any illegal activities, unsafe materials, or prohibited items. Respect copyright laws, licensing terms, and the creative work of others.

6. Use Clear Titles and Tags

Help other members find useful content by writing descriptive thread titles and using accurate tags. This keeps our forum organized and easy to browse.

7. Protect Your Privacy

Avoid sharing personal information such as your phone number, address, or passwords in public posts. Use private messages responsibly and report suspicious activity to moderators.

8. Support New Members

Our goal is to build a friendly, helpful community. If you see new users joining, make them feel welcome — encourage learning, collaboration, and creativity.

9. Report Issues

If you notice spam, rule violations, or abusive behavior, contact a moderator. Our team is here to ensure the forum remains a safe space for everyone.

10. Moderator Decisions

Moderators may edit, move, or remove posts that break the rules or disrupt discussions. Persistent rule violations can lead to account suspension or removal.

Remember

The ELS Replica Forum exists to celebrate craftsmanship, artistry, and fandom. Together, we can maintain a community that reflects creativity, respect, and passion for the world of replica fashion and cinematic design.
