Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about "Required File Hosts"

1. Are the Required File Hosts the only hosts allowed in PATM?

No. As long as every post has links to at least one of the Required File Hosts, you can also include links to one of the remaining Allowed File Hosts assuming a link for that Allowed File Host has not already been posted.

2. Can I just quote a post that has one of the Required File Hosts and then add Allowed File Host links?

No. Each post must have its own Required File Host links.

3. What happens if the content I want to post has already been posted with Required File Host links I want to use?

Then you may not post with the already used Required File Host.

4. What happens if the content I want to post has already been posted using all Required File Hosts, but it has not been posted with the Allowed File Host I wish to use?

Then you may not post the content. The purpose of the Required File Hosts Rule is to reduce the number of mirrors and encourage members to post more original content.

5. Can I use all Required File Hosts to prevent members from mirroring my post?

You may not use more than two (2) Required File Hosts in each PATM post.

6. May I edit posts to add links or replace dead links?

You only are permitted to edit posts for the purpose of replacing a dead screen capture or replacing a dead link with a live link from the same file host, but only if the replaced link is one of the Allowed File Hosts.

7. Can I make a placeholder posts?

No.

8. Can I post with one Required File Host and then add more links for another Required File Host and Allowed File Host later when they are finished uploading?

No.

9. What happens if my Required File Host link dies and I don't replace it?

Your post no longer meets the Required File Hosts Rule. You will not receive an infraction but your post might be removed.

Video title, screen capture and file information must be accurate or post will be removed and penalty assessed. Providing screen captures for a video trailer only is acceptable if the posted file is the video trailer.
