_general rules

this community counts members from over a 100 of different countries. thus only ENGLISH language is allowed for any public activities, including torrent comments, forums and shoutbox. for communication in your native language use private messages (pm-s) and private shouts. if you avoid this rule, you get a warning for 3 days minimum and up to 4 weeks.
use only english language in public shoutbox! private shouts for any language other than english. strongly prosecuted!!
do not argue with moderators!
do not upload anything illegal! (see the faq for details)
bad behaviour in the forums or in any other way (cheating tracker, assaulting other users) will result in a warning ( ).
you will only get one warning! losing you account will be a click away. ip-ban is strictly inforced!
country selection is now automatic after 2 weeks of using the website. this means that if you do not wish to select your country of origin yourself it will be selected for you automatically depending on your ip's geographical location, taken from ip-to-country database. if you feel the selection is wrong, you can always change it in the OUTLOOK.

only power users, v.i.p.-s and higher can upload new torrents. if you want to upload something that you have made click this link and create a new [offer]. we are all open-mided, so we will post and expect from you to post original and unknown dj mixes as much.
read the faq for details on how to become an uploader.
uploads must have proper description with bitrate, lenght and possible genre.
only club-music-scene releases, nothing commercial/illegal, no bootlegs.
mixes can be no older than 2 months ago from today.
all files must be in original format (usually mp3 or mpeg), not archived but stored in a folder.
make sure your torrents are well-seeded for at least 24 hours and possibly seed them at later times.
stay active! if you get the status of an uploader - keep it at high standarts, publish new downloads etc.
uploading radio shows, keep host and guest(s) in same torrent, do not separate them (use folders).
when fuller/better/longer/fancier version of a show/mix/party is uploaded, shorter/worse/incomplete torrents of same events must be deleted.

low ratios may result in severe consequences, including banning in extreme cases. please read more about your ratio!
if you get warned by ratio-watcher that your ratio is lower than needed you lose downloading rights and can only seed old downloads to increase your ratio. ratio ladder is shown here!!

no aggressive behaviour or flaming in the forums.
no trashing of other peoples' topics (i.e. spamming).
no language other than english in the forums, unless otherwise stated in forum description.
no systematic foul language (and none at all on titles).
no links to warez, crack or free mp3 sites in the forums.
try requesting special mixes in dedicated forums.
no images larger than 800x600, and preferably web-optimised.
no double posting. if you wish to post again, and yours is the last post in the thread please use the edit function, instead of posting a double.
please ensure all questions are posted in the correct section!
last, please read the faq before asking any questions! it's very full and informative.

the allowed formats are .gif, .jpg and .png.
be considerate. resize your images to a width of 150 px and a size of no more than 150kb. (browsers will rescale them anyway: smaller images will be expanded and will not look good; larger images will just waste bandwidth and cpu cycles.) for now this is just a guideline but it will be automatically enforced in the near future.
do not use potentially illegal material. if in doubt msg a moderator.
