OK, here are the new fansign rules.
 

Fansign Rules



Due to the large volume of Fansign threads, and the spam level abuse of some, here are the fansign rules at GFY.

1. Your 'announcement' thread has to have at least one fansign in the first post. The fansign must be for one of the big posters, such as Juicy, or moderators, such as me, on GFY.

2. Your fansigns must be completed in no less than three days, and you must do at least 20 of the first posters to the thread.

3. The cannot be computer generated or simple text that could have been computer generated. That is pure spam. They need to have texture and variation to them, in other words, it has to be totally obvious to anyone that they are hand made.

4. There cannot be any conditions to making a sign, such as you must signup for an affiliate program.

If you do not like the rules, don?t do fansigns and leave it up to the girls who really want the publicity.

Feel free to link this thread when someone doesn't know the rules.

Any ?'s

Sounds good!

:)

get ready for my fan signs soon

Sounds reasonable

Fansign requests come in for weeks, what about locking the threads after 3 days and then getting her to post the completed ones in another three days?

Sounds good, but I got a question, if I made a fansign, would you prefer me making the first one for you or Juicy?

Good stuff Lens

good stuff lens. :)

good, now maybe i can actually recieve some of the PartyGoat signs i ask for. :upsidedow

Well honestly I think rule number 4 is a wee bit harsh. Sure they gain some publicity and all but they can just as easily do that with a "rate my ass" thread or whatever. They are after all puting in some work into these (well some are at least) and I personally thinking having a rule such as post your account name or affiliate number is very reasonable.
My two cents.

sexy. ;)

I want a juicy fansign.
WG

they're pretty good rules, but some of these signs take time to do! Might be nice if you gave them a week instead of 3 days...

Good New Rules for the Fansigns Lensman :)

Real good rules... should be a given pretty much by now...

I felt the same way, but I can see the reasoning. As long as the signs are made for webmasters, they will most likely be on a webpage, attached to a ref url. Anything else would just be stupid. :thumbsup

Good rules. I think the ones with computer generated links are pretty weak, lol. We're all webmasters here, you think we can't do that ourselves? lol

Sounds good to me!

ahh sounds great to me

ive gotta question

like my new sig?

hmm yeah tough but some what fair ;)

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get first dibs on fan sign.

Lens want me to send you mocha anus fleshligt? lmk

:rasta :rasta :rasta

sounds good!
i like the 3-day rule!

I count as a big or important poster right?

I hadn't seen them.

I like it!

:)

You are one of the top posters :pimp I'm #2

I agree with you on this one. Fan signs are ALOT of work (I just delivered 40 of them). The rest of the rules are great!

Moderators or Lens, I can agree with... but some of the guys here with the largest post counts are the biggest assholes & tools I have ever come across in my life. Stupid rule. :2 cents:

When he says top posters, I am sure that is a little lax and just means either a green person or one with a great deal of board respect/persona.

Still think rule 4 is PURE BS though and those that do not agree that also do not run this joint just do not get it.

Fix your sig and post more

:thumbsup

POSTING: I suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome otherwise I would. :helpme

SIG: Eric keeps taking my sigs away because I'm black. :Oh crap

hallarious :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


sig whore :winkwink:

Yep.... I won't be posting about fansigns (which I ALWAYS deliver) on GFY anymore because of rule 4. They take a lot of time, and we all know how much certain people like to waste others time on this board.

Damn, i don't count as a top poster anymore. :(

sounds good, I got rather tired of people not comming through with the fansigns

I think rule #4 should be ammended. Why should I take 10 minutes to have my model make a sign, shoot it, upload it, and link it if the person requesting it can't take 1 minute to signup to the program he is "supposedly" going to be using the sign to make money with?

I think rule #4 is fair and let me explain why. Almost all of the fansigns I've ever seen have the site's URL pasted on the bottom!!! That's free advertising right there for the site! Why would you complain when the pics (normally) have the site's web address on there and the surfer can see it plain as day? Just like sponsors who put their URL on the banners hoping someone will bypass clicking the affiliate link and type in the URL for themselves and sign up without the affiliate getting any credit for being the one who referred them. I HATE banners with URL's obviously. What I'm trying to say is, how is it not a win-win for both? Pics of your model with the URL at the bottom should be enough. We shouldn't have to be an affiliate.

So, say you DON"T put your site's URL on the picture. Then, well, there really is no incentive for you to put the fansigns up. If you want to get exposure for doing the fansigns, simply put the URL on the bottom of the pic. Simple solution!

Everyone goes home happy.

I love getting fan signs, but I can't imagine why a girl would bother doing them for non-affiliates. They take a ton of time & so many of the requests will never be posted on websites or linked to the girl's site (like "so & so fucked me"). What's the point of a softcore teen site doing fan signs for a bondage site or a hardcore swinger site?

I have a question, would you like a fan of me in a pink dress or a blue nighty ? :)

Good Job Lens..
The Fans signs started to get a tad old and a little ridiculous.

i like those rules, go Lenssssss :thumbsup

Not as bad as those contest threads though

Awesome new rules!! :thumbsup

I'd like mind to say "RRRED turned me into a recreational lesbian"

Thanks :winkwink:

Ahh one of you blue people has to agree and say rule 4 needs to be re-worked.

damn, Juicy automatically gets one lol

Sounds good.

Maybe the top 20 posters get a fansign for free and anyone that wants one after that has to send one join or whatever :) Or better yet, you will only do 20 fan signs and end your post with something like "I can be coerced to do more" and leave it at that! If anyone else actually wants one, they will contact you. They will silently know what you mean :)

Or maybe just do the fansigns with no conditions as lens suggests and then make sure your webmaster program page clearly states that you offer fan signs after the first 5 joins or whatever.

I know #4 seems harsh but it's been getting out of control lately with the spams. I don't even look at them anymore personally cuz there are so many now that they aren't special anymore.

I think the girls would agree that it is alot of time and work but the value of the traffic you get from here needs to be recognized and respected.

i think you should only get a fansign if you send sales, getting to be too many out there.
