Welcome to The Black Display Case. This community is a place for you to post pictures and information about interesting objects.
RULES
- Each post must be of an object of probable interest to other members of the community. The exception is posts requesting information related to where to obtain a specific thing which is not readily available.
- Each post featuring an object must contain at least one picture of the object.
- Limit picture size to 300 pixels wide. Link pictures to larger versions or put larger images behind cut tags if desired.
- If the post contains multiple pictures, all but the first one must be behind a cut tag.
- Stick to the basic posting format protocols whenever possible so that the information about the object is easily interpreted and located.
- Posts or polls asking people to guess what an object is are permitted, and encouraged.
- Posts about objects found online must credit the source and provide as much information as available including a link. In other words, do not misrepresent an object divorced from its source.
- Don't post that this is your first post to the community or that you just joined. Nobody cares.
If you have additions to the interests list, please e-mail the moderator.
