Community guidelines & faq

Welcome to Skeleton Watch Forum. These guidelines keep this place useful and honest. Worth coming back to, too. Read them once and then forget about them. They're just here so everyone knows what to expect.

Community guidelines

Be honest, not promotional

Share what you actually know, not a sales pitch. If you're recommending a watch, tell us whether you own it or just looked into it. If you're tied to a brand or seller, say so. We're fine with enthusiasm. We're not fine with ads in disguise.

Disagree without being a jerk

Watch people argue. That's fine. Go after the argument, not the person. No harassment. No gatekeeping. And no "you're not a real collector if..." comments.

No spam or self-promotion

Don't post affiliate links or referral codes. Don't link to your own store without permission either. Made something you want to share? Ask a moderator first.

Keep it legal and safe

No fake watches. No stolen stuff. No scams. No pretending to be someone else. Don't post anyone's private info. Not sure if something's okay? Ask first.

Respect the niche

This forum's all about skeleton and open heart watches. Off topic chat is welcome in the lounge. Just keep the main boards focused so people can find what they came for.

Moderation

Moderators can edit, move, or remove content that breaks these guidelines. They may also restrict accounts that keep causing problems. Think a decision was wrong? Message a moderator. Don't argue about it in the thread.

Frequently asked questions

Do i need an account to read the forum?

No. You can browse every thread as a guest. You only need an account to post, reply or save threads.

Is this forum free?

Yep. No paywall. No premium tier either. Some links here are affiliate links. We might earn a small commission from them, and it won't cost you anything. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Can i ask about buying or selling a watch?

You can ask for buying advice and share deals you've found. There's no classifieds section, and we don't help private sales. Be careful if anyone offers to sell you a watch through DMs.

Can i post photos of my watches?

Yes, wrist shots and collection photos are welcome. Only post images you have the right to share. Don't post photos of other people's watches without credit.

Are replica or homage watches allowed?

Homage watches are fine to talk about here. They're original designs inspired by a style. Counterfeits, fakes, and watches sold as something they're not? Not allowed. If you're not sure where the line is, just ask a moderator.

What if i disagree with a moderator?

Message the moderator directly and explain your side. Don't reopen the argument in the thread. Most issues get resolved quickly when you talk privately.

Can i post links to my own content?

If you write a review, make a video, or run a blog that's relevant to the forum, you can share it now and then. Just say it's yours. And don't spam it across threads.

How do i report a problem?

Use the report button on a post. Or reach us through the Contact page. Send a link to the thread and a quick note about what's wrong.

How do i delete my account?

Reach out through the Contact page and just ask. We'll remove your account. Your posts might stay up unless you tell us to delete those too.

I have a question that isn't here.

Ask in the forum. Someone will answer. Or reach us through the Contact page if it's about the site itself.
