│     The pay-websites XXX section, more commonly known as XXX-PAYSITE became │
│     more popular in the scene. Groups who used to release XXX-PAYSITE       │
│     videos noticed an increasing support for the section and felt the need  │
│     to make a set of rules to standardize the releases. Two years have      │
│     passed, and the need for an update of the rules is due. Carefully read  │
│     and understand these rules, as you are obliged to follow them.          │
│                                                                             │

│                                                                             │
│     - You may rip all viewable video formats.                               │
│     - Re-encoding videos is strictly forbidden.                             │
│       Exception: You may re-encode the video WITHOUT CHANGING FORMAT to     │
│       prevent a nuke or to repair a defective video.                        │
│     - You are allowed to provide stream videos (WMV in most cases).         │

│     Note: Things within () are mandatory, things within [] are optional.    │
│     However, if they are known it is recommended that you include them.     │
│                                                                             │

│         The directory may be tagged in either one of these two ways:        │
│            1. (WebSite).(Date.or.Ep).(Model).[Title].XXX.(Video.Data)-(GRP) │
│               Example: Twistys.08.09.10.Peaches.Tasty.XXX.WMV-GROUP         │
│               Example: BangBus.E100.Ariana.XXX.MPEG-GROUP                   │
│               In the case of episodes, the first episode (E1) is the first, │
│               by posting date, on the website.                              │
│                                                                             │
│            2. (WebSite).(Model.Name.or.Ep.Title).XXX.(Video.Data)-(GRP)     │
│               Example: PixAndVideo.Lena.Vaudeville.XXX.DivX-GROUP           │
│               Example: Brazzers.Special.Package.XXX.WMV-GROUP               │
│                                                                             │
│         Characters allowed for creating directory names:                    │
│         a-z, A-Z, 0-9, . and -                                              │
│         Never use double dots or spaces! Use single dots.                   │
│                                                                             │
│         Keep to these standards to avoid bad.tagging nukes.                 │
│                                                                             │
│         - (WebSite) means the URL without TLD [.com/.net etc].              │
│           Examples: SluttySquirters, PornstarsLikeItBig, 1By-Day            │
│           BAD Examples: Pix.and.Video, Explicite-art.com, Bang.Bus.com      │
│           To make it look clean and easier to read, capitalize every new    │
│           word, i.e. SistasInTheHood instead of Sistasinthehood. Lack of    │
│           upper-case first letters is not a valid nuke reason.              │
│                                                                             │
│         - (Video.Data) should be placed after the XXX tag, not before! XXX  │
│           is the delimiter. Releases tagged with the format up front will   │
│           not be nuked, but rest assured they will be looked down upon.     │
│           Good = GeorgesGorgeous.E1.Barbara.Bush.XXX.1080p.DivX-GROUP       │
│           BAD = AlsPals.E666.Tipper.Gore.WMV.XXX-GROUP                      │
│                                                                             │
│         - (Video.data) should contain all info about the video.             │
│             - The format: WMV, MPEG, DivX, XviD etc.                        │
│             - The resolution: 720p, 1080i etc.                              │
│             - The aspect ratio: WS or FS. This is optional.                 │
│                                                                             │
│         - If both the episode number and post date are known, you can       │
│           choose which one to use (never use the two combined). If they are │
│           both unknown, give as much information as you can about the set.  │
│           A direct link to the movie is strongly encouraged (see 2d).       │
│                                                                             │
│         - The notation of dates follow the YY.MM.DD syntax. For example:    │
│           08.07.21 means July 21st 2008.                                    │
│                                                                             │
│         - If the resolution is wider than 720 pixels and/or higher than 576 │
│           pixels, the release must be tagged with HR.                       │
│           Example: BillsThrills.07.06.05.Hillary.Clinton.XXX.HR.WMV-GROUP   │
│                                                                             │
│         - For stream rips add a STREAMRIP tag before the other tags.        │
│           Example: ClubJenna.Throne.STREAMRIP.XXX.WMV-GROUP                 │
│                                                                             │
│         - Rips with non-English audio must be labeled with their respective │
│           languages (if known) prior to the XXX tag. Additional information │
│           may be supplied in the NFO (see section 2d).                      │
│           Example: YadaYadaHooters.Baba.Yaga.Scene.1.POLISH.XXX.DivX-GROUP  │
│                                                                             │
│     2b) Files:                                                              │
│           These files must be part of the release:                          │
│                                                                             │
│              1.  Video file packed in RAR archives (refer to section 2c).   │
│                  - You can include more than one video in the rar archive   │
│                    if you are releasing a daily issue or a volume.          │
│                                                                             │
│                  - If there are separate parts/episodes/scenes available,   │

│     3a) PROPER tag may be used if the previous release is incomplete or     │
│         corrupt (by group's fault). Always state a valid reason for the     │
│         proper in the nfo (see section 4). Thanks to this, the READ.NFO tag │
│         is superfluous here.                                                │
│                                                                             │
│     3b) Different video formats dupe each other - first format wins (i.e.   │
│         WMV is not allowed if MPEG is already released and so on). A higher │
│         resolution does not dupe a lower resolution - but it is MANDATORY   │
│         to rip the highest quality available on the website at the time.    │
│                                                                             │
│         For instance:                                                       │
│                                                                             │
│         07-23-2008 Website posts "Ep 30" in 480p (medium res). This is the  │
│                    highest resolution available - no 720p is posted yet.    │
│                    GROUP1 rips and releases this.                           │
│                                                                             │
│         07-30-2008 Website posts high quality 720p of "Ep 30". GROUP2 rips  │
│                    and releases this. They do not dupe GROUP1, since the    │
│                    720p is the current highest resolution available.        │
│                    When releasing a higher resolution of a video already    │
│                    released in a lower resolution, please make a note about │
│                    this in the nfo. The READ.NFO tag is optional.           │
│                                                                             │
