Welcome To Angels Design Forum
We don't want to bore you with lots of rules as we want you to enjoy your time here, however we do have to mention a few things.
1. Our forum is copyright compliant, so ALL tags MUST have the correct artist name and website on them (©artist and www), if the artist is pay to use then the correct license info must also be on the tag. Avatars only ©artist and PTU license if applicable.
2. You must have permission to use any tube you make a tag with, either a general permission tube, a personal permission you hold, or if we as a group hold the permission for that artist.
Our permissions cover you for use in any other group which allows outside permissions.
3. Blank tags are not permitted, they must have either your name or a recognizable greeting on them.
4. If your tag doesn't have that info on it then it most likely is not safe to use. Much as we don't like doing it we will delete posts we see which have tags which are not copyright compliant.
5. We do not allow extreme adult content tags on this site EVER. Proboards is very strict about body parts that need covering should be covered.
So if a tube does show a little too much please cover with a suitable element.
Below waist nudity of any kind is a nono.
Please read the ProBoards T.O.S. found in the Rules, Welcome & Check In Category at the top of the HOME page.
6. No arguments or flaming other members, you will only get ONE warning, second time you will be removed.
If you have a problem PM myself or one of my staff about it.
7. This group aims to be a friendly group where we hope you may make friends.
Please join in and help where you can, and never be afraid to ask questions that is what we are here for.
8. From Today November 5th 2013 you have to have an introduction from another member or your application will be rejected.
Ask that member to notify me (Lainey) that you will be applying. Also please make sure you tell us who referred you when you join or you may get rejected if I don't know.
9. Scrap Kits Crediting Scrap kits at Animation Lessons and Angel’s Design
PTU Scrap Kits
Scraps with no tube: Scraps by ABC and the URL
Scraps with ANY tube: ©Artist Name Artist URL PTU License Scraps by ABC
Unless it is specifically stated in the store TOU, you do not need to put on your license for a scrap kit only tag (Confirmed by CDO).
Unless there is a specific TOU included in the kit or clearly written on their site, you only need to mention “Scraps by ABC” but here at AL and AD we require that you give their URL.
FTU Scrap kits that have no TOU:
FTU and PTU scrap kits may contain the same items in them.
Many Commercial Use [CU] sites and scrappers will purchase the same item as another scrapper
so many of these FTU scraps contain the TOU “no credits needed” because they know that what they contain is not their own.
What do we do?
It is easy to say, just don’t use items you can’t credit. But what if is a particular image that goes perfectly with your tag design. You know you got it from a FTU scrap kit. And, it even looks similar to one you have seen elsewhere. Can you use the item as an embellishment? Or how do we credit it? Let’s do it this way.
AL and AD Rule: If you use one or two (and not more) items that came from FTU scrap kits that have no TOU or even said no credit needed, we ask that you add “FTU scraps”. BUT if you are using more than two items, you are required to credit the scrapper “Scraps by ABC”.
Remember, different sites have different rules. While these rules are for AL and AD, they may not be fine for other sites. So, read their rules and to abide by them.
Avatars are a different story. Just 1 image on an avatar MUST be credited. It must have the scrappers name on it, “Scraps by ABC”.
10. For New Members you must respond to your welcome thread in the first week.
If you don't you will be emailed to remind you and if no response in 48 hrs you will be deleted.
Also please sign the monthly Check In thread, so we know you still wish to be a member.
11. From November 2nd 2014 the following changes apply
The requirement to remain a member unless special circumstances prevail is at least 5 posts a month. This is not hard to achieve, it can be all done in one day or spread over the month. This must be in various threads not just in one or two.
You must still sign the check in thread too.

To take effect immediately
From October 21st 2016 the date of this post, we no longer allow outside artists permissions to be used here at Angels Design.
Our Sister site Animation Lessons is the exception as ALST (Animation Lessons safe tubes) can still be used here.
We will allow Personal permissions, but before you make a tag with a personal permission you have, you must send either Huronna or myself a copy of this permission for us to keep on list, so there will be no need to send again for any subsequent times you use that artist.
Also please put Personal Permission (or PP) on the tag/s you make using a personal permission.
PTU artist tags are obviously fine.
This new rule is for any NEW tags that are made from today onward, existing tags are exempt.
However if an artist goes PTU and does not say old tags made prior to this are alright to use, then these must not be used here.
