Physical Fanlistings Network.

Network Rules

Please read these rules carefully. Failure to comply with the rules will result in application rejection, your listing being placed on the troubles list, or your listing being deleted from the network.

The rules are broken down into two parts: rules for application, and rules for building and maintaining a physical fanlisting. Please read both sections thoroughly.

Rules for Application.

• You must have HTML and graphic creation experience.
• Provide a current URL that demonstrates both HTML and graphic creation.
• Journal sites, page-builder sites, and groups like Yahoo, MSN, MySpace and Facebook are not accepted.

• You cannot apply for a listing already approved by TPFLN.
• TPFLN only approves one listing per subject.
• Please be sure to check the approved pages before applying.

• You may only have five fanlistings on upcoming across the network.
• This is to give everyone a chance to own a fanlisting they want.
• You can however own as many fanlistings as you like in total.

• Your subject must be in something and/or must have work that has been released to the public.
• That means if you're applying for, say, an actor, they must have acted in something released to the public, whether that is a tv show, movie, etc., before you apply for them.
• If your subject is a fictional character, they must be in a book, movie, tv show, game, etc. that has been released to the general public before you apply.
• You may not apply for a subject before they have been in and/or have released public work. We want people to have an equal chance of applying for a listing.

• Every individual must be applied for separately.
• There should only be one subject per fanlisting.

• Ridiculous requests will be rejected without consideration.
• Failure to comply with the rules or read them.
• Inappropriate requests will be rejected.

• Incomplete forms are deleted.
• Names with numbers (ie: Kristen57283) will not be accepted.
• Forms with invalid email addresses are deleted.
• We expect you to explain why you would like to have the listing, but it is not required.

• Only fanlistings for the physical characteristics of a person or character in general are allowed.
• You may not apply for the eyes, style or any other features of a subject.
• Old fanlistings that were approved before this rule was put in place shall be left in the network unless they are removed after which time they will not be approvable again.

Rules for Building/Maintaining a Listing

• If it is possible, please check your listing for cross-browser compatability.
• If your listing is not viewable in certain browsers please state this or a preferred one that it should be viewed in.
• Your listing must be in English. You may make it available to multiple languages and allow users to choose, but an English version should be first preference and easily viewable.

• You can either use a text link or a button/banner.
• The link must be visible (index/splash page).
• You must link to physicalfanlistings.net only.

• If this is not possible, contact the staff member that approved you.
• Extensions can be granted if you have a valid reason.
• If a listing is late in its completion, it will be on troubles for one week. If you do not contact us within a week after being placed on troubles, it will be deleted from the network without question.

• Inactivity of your listing will result in troubles and possibly deletion.
• Make sure to take the time to approve members or still place a notice of updating even if no one has joined or any other activity has taken place.

• You must take names, emails, and the countries of your members.
• Give your members a choice whether they want their email shown or not. ( We understand that not everyone runs scripts that come with this option, so if you do not run a script, be sure to have a comments field in your form, that would allow members to give this information, if they should want their email displayed, or not.)
• You may ask for other fields as well (ie: why do you like this feature, etc) but they may not be required fields.
• You cannot reject a member for not filling in additional fields that are not required. Please refrain from using any of those silly "secret word" questions. If you do, your fanlisting may be placed on the Troubles List for unfair rules.

• It must not be a Javascript generated date.
• Please specify the format of your date (ie: 04/23/2005, mm/dd/yyyy).

• It's illegal to claim the physical fanlisting as official, for a subject that is not directly approved, by that subject. For instance if you owned the Physical Fanlisting for Keanu Reeves, it would have to be approved by him to be official.
• You can only put "The only listing approved by the Physical Fanlistings Network" or "The only listing listed at the Physical Fanlisting Network".

• It's expected, not required! You like the subject, so why not show it!
• Perhaps you could add more information about your subject, or add some fun things to the site for your visitors. Such as a gallery, icons, fanfiction or be creative and come up with your own ideas!

• The network only lists one physical fanlisting per subject; this means that you won’t find two fanlistings for the same subjects, in different categories. So, if you have been approved for a physical fanlisting and would like to apply for the fanlisting to also be listed in another category, use the apply form and be sure to leave a comment, saying you are the current owner of the listing.

• If you need to place your fanlisting on a hiatus you must specify when the fanlisting will be back, as well as give the date it was placed on hiatus.
• Do not have a hiatus period longer then four months.
