     Credits may be earned in various ways as explained below.

  2. Why does SDF use credits?

     SDF uses the credits system for several reasons:

     1. to allow our members to easily purchase exclusive photo sets or enhanced service on SDF such as zip file downloads of archived photos.

  3. How do I purchase credits?

     You can purchase credits by clicking on the “Buy This Photoset” menu item (which you’ll see while browsing “Our Dudes™” gallery) at which time you’ll be taken to our partner, BuyWebCredit.com to complete a secure online credit card purchase.

  4. How can I earn credits?

     Members can earn credits which they can redeem for exclusive photosets or can be exchanged for SDF services by posting contributions to our free galleries through our "Credits for Contributions" program and by referrals to “Our Dudes™” exclusive photo sets.

  5. How many credits must I buy?

     You may purchase a minimum of 10 credits, which is just enough credits to get One “Our Dudes™” photo set or several of our various upcoming “Premium Offerings” which will include zip downloads of our galleries.
     You may buy more than 10 point at a time which will give you a discount and add up to great savings.  At this time, you can purchase up to 100 credits in a single transaction and receive a huge discount.

  6. Do credits expire?

     Yes, points expire one year from date of purchase.  You will soon be able to view your account status anytime online and we will also send you an email reminder 30 days before your points expire.

• How can I earn points? (SDF's Credits for Contributions program)

  Not only do we provide FREE access to our forums and galleries, but you can even earn points to use toward our “Premium Offerings” by posting pics (and, soon, video clips) to our public galleries.  It's our way of thanking you for contributing to the Simple Dudes Feet community.  Here's how it works:

  1. When you post qualified photos to our gallery (those are, pics which conform to the the terms and conditions of our site and are of appropriate content), you will be earning points. Read our Posting Guidelines.
  2. Currently, you will earn 1 point for every 10 pics.
  3. Here's how points are credited: Each Sunday, the system will look for any NEW contributions which are more than a week old. This gives us time to moderate the content, remove items that are from pay sites which were posted without their authorization or pornographic photos or are inappropriate for other reasons (see Posting Guidelines). As a result, there may be cases where it may take up to 13 days to actually get credited for a pic you posted.  The system will count your contributions and compute the number of points you've earned. It will then send you an email with the link to credit the points to your account.
  4. You MUST have a valid email address associated with your account in order to get this email with the link to add points, so make sure you're email address is the correct one.

  Remember, there are two ways you can support the continued growth of Simple Dudes Feet. You can purchase “Our Dudes™” exclusive sets or other “Premium Offerings” and keep our free galleries growing with your qualified contributions.

• What are your Premium Offerings?

  Currently, we are offering “Our Dudes™” exclusive photo sets.  These are complete sets of some very attractive "dudes" from around north america.  The sets are very reasonably priced and will help offset the costs of running the site.  We feel that this is a much better option than filling the site with advertising, and we felt that this was the most mutually beneficial solution. Much care has gone into the selection of “Our Dudes™” and we hope we've been sucessfull in finding guys that fulfill your wishes.  We welcome your suggestion which you can provide by clicking on the "Feedback" link above.

  In addition, we will soon be adding convenient zip file downloads of “Our Dudes™” photosets as well as packing up the contributed galleries into zip file sets for easy downloading. We'll be sure and keep you informed as we roll out the new zip file offering.

• Posting Guidelines

  In order to maintain the high quality of our gallery, we ask that you post photos that conform to the high standards you are all accustomed to in your visits to Simple Dudes Feet.

  1. We are NOT a porn site.  As such, we ask that you not post any pornographic content in the public galleries.
     As we currently don’t have the ability (or desire) to do age verification and it is our intention to focus on the Art and Beauty of Simple Dudes Feet, such content does not add to the value and simplicity of our community.
  2. Please do not post any photos from pay sites or any other copyright protected photographs. Contributions should be personal or candid shots of young, college aged guys.
     We value our intellectual propery, your intellectual property, and the intellectual property of others.  As such, we ask that you not post content for which someone else owns the copyright (i.e. from a pay site, etc.) without their permission. In time you will start to see more preview and promotional content from other sites, and if you have that sites permission to post, just let us know so we don’t accidentally delete it (and we’ll probably check with them just to make sure).  Otherwise, the general theme is evident in the content in the photos, however, if you wish to post some foot related items, but aren’t sure that they fit in any of the main gallery categories, then we invite you to create a folder in the Members Favorites section and post your items there.  If we feel they better fit one of the main categories, we may move them at a later date.

  3. Our members like to see a face along with the feet. You should post either full body shots or feet only close ups when they are part of a series which includes a face shot. Upload the feet first and the face or full body shot last.
     For those visually appealing photos you have that aren't part of a series which includes the persons face, please post them to your own gallery under Members Favorites or to the “Just Feet” gallery.
  4. Do your best to post photos in the most appropriate gallery. Take a moment to look around and learn what photos go in which gallery.
  5. In order to maintain a high quality gallery, All photos should be full size at least 600 X 480 (or larger). You should feel free to post your pics at the highest resolution you have, and the system will size them properly for viewing online while still allowing people to save at the original high resolution
  6. How do you find candid photos? Simply take your digital camera out for a walk around campus, the beach or while walking the dog in the park. Simple dudes with cute feet are everywhere. Remember, every post is a show of support for the continued growth of Simple Dudes Feet.
