New Members: YOU MUST MAKE A POST WITHIN 24 HOURS OF REGISTERING OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED. ACCOUNTS WITH ZERO POSTS WILL BE DELETED. In other words, don't sign up unless you plan to actively participate in the message board immediately.

TRIED TO REGISTER AND GOT A MESSAGE SAYING YOU WERE BANNED? It's because you are in a country that is known for excessive spamming. Several countries have been banned, including the Philippines, India, Pakistan, most areas of Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, and a few others. Please understand this usually has nothing to do with you as an individual; it has to do with excessive spamming coming from the country that you are in. If you are (or want to be) a legitimate member of this message board and find yourself locked out, please contact the admin at: webmaster (at) archwired (dot) com and we will investigate freeing up your account.

ACCOUNTS SOMETIMES GET DE-ACTIVATED when you change your password. If your account gets de-activated, send an email to the administrator: webmaster (at) archwired (dot) com. Include your username. The admin can reset your password and/or re-activate your account.

DO NOT POST FULL-FACE PHOTOS or personal contact information on this message board. We have had problems with people re-posting members' photos on fetish websites. Please only post photos of your teeth, not your whole face. Keep your email and your personal information private. If you add a website to your profile that contains a photo of your face or your real name, we will delete the website from your profile.

FETISH PMs, EMAILs and IMs WILL NOT BE TOLERATED ON THIS BOARD. Members will report you and you will be banned. Lifting photos or URLs to photos from this website's members for fetish or pornographic purposes is against copyright and is reason for immediate ban.

JOURNALISTS:Contact the site admin at: webmaster (at) archwired (dot) com before soliciting here.

f. Posts that cause a distraction to the purpose and mission of ArchWired.com and the Metal Mouth Message Board will be removed or closed.

g. Treatment options for orthodontics vary around the world, here at ArchWired.com we support such discussions as long as they do not become solicitations, aggressive, or hurtful to others. If this happens the thread or post will be closed by the moderators immediately without further discussion.

h. We discourage members from from making their email addresses visible in their profiles, or from posting personal and vital information which may identify them, including photos of their full face or body. Profile information of minors under age 18 will be scrutinized and inappropriate references will be removed from the minor's profile.
