So, it’s no secret that a lot of NON-OC (Not original) content gets posted, here. So much so that this forum experiences a lot overlap from it.
If you’re going to post NON-OC content, ensure you’ve done the following:
Guidelines
- Download a reverse image app/program/software or browser extension, use reverse-image search websites, or directly utilize your A.I assistants from your smart device(s) for this purpose. (i.e Google Lens/Gemini)
Some Examples…
(As seen in the third image, if this website pops up in your search results, it is likely the image/set you are trying to post already exists on this forum and therefore should not be REPOSTED)
In doing so, we may reduce the probability of reposting content or deter users who may take your work and pass it off as their own.
- Credit the owners work, whenever it’s applicable
- DO NOT POST SOCIAL MEDIA. The NON-OC badge isn’t a pass to post screengrabs from insta/tiktok accounts. Users who do this will be banned — NON-OC or otherwise. (Disclaimer: it’s the user’s responsibility to ensure the content they’ve taken from other websites isn’t social media — not the mods. Saying you didn’t know will not be an excuse from any community guideline penalties)
- State *NON-OC in the title of your topic.
- Ensure any social media handles, such as site names, are not visible in any of your submitted material. The content posted here should be free of advertisements (aside from the OC shooter’s alias).
- It should be a given that you’re not reposting any content from a user on this forum.
- Abide by all of our community guidelines and rules, as listed.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
