* Copyrighted images may only be used on Melancholy Hoofbeats with the permission of the owner. If an image is posted on Melancholy Hoofbeats that appears to be copyrighted in any way (c symbol, signature, etc.) it will be removed by admin. Melacholy Hoofbeats is not responsible for member's personal stables but please remember that if you are found to be in violation of a copyright infringement law the web-host you are using may decide to delete your stable without notice, I believe charges can also be pressed in extreme cases.

* If you advertise another game anywhere on MH without permission your account will be removed. We have a board for advertising sister sites and only sister sites may advertise on it.
