HELPFUL TIPS:
User title/rank (Lurker, Tourist...):
This is a question that gets asked VERY often on here, and it's not like it's some obscure secret that nobody is supposed to know about. So I figured I'd start this thread so that anytime anyone is curious about ZooVille's ranking/title system, it can be referenced. Your rank is based off of...
www.zoovilleforum.net
Profile pictures:
Consider not using you face or anything identifiable as your profile picture. There are antizoo users on this forum who will happily try to identify you.
EXIF Data:
Removing EXIF data.
This is data used in photos and videos to detail specifications, such as the camera used, GPS (If enabled/equipped), serial number of the device used, etc.
It's easy to remove EXIF data by using the right software.
EXIF Purge (Windows & Mac)
www.exifpurge.com
A simple, to-the-point EXIF remover.
For Linux users. I'm sure there's something for Linux users... But I'm not aware of any software. If anyone does. Let me know!
REMOVING EXIF DATA FOR VIDEOS. THE SIMPLE WAY. How to view, edit, and remove EXIF Data, including location on Windows
- Go to the folder where your image is located.
- Right-click the image > click Properties.
- Click the Details tab.
- Click Remove Properties and Personal Information.
- Then you can click Create a copy with all possible properties removed for a copy of the photo with EXIF data stripped.
- Alternatively, you can edit metadata by clicking Remove the following properties from this file OK.
Making Content:
- Of course, using common sense is the main thing here. Be sure easily identifiable items are not seen or mistakenly in view.
- It's advised to try not to have your face in any shot, as well as animals.
- Use usernames that are not easily identifiable. In other words, don't use the same username as you do elsewhere if you don't want to be discovered.
- The same goes for emails. No one would be able to see your email on this site besides admins.
- We suggest members do not upload pictures of themselves or other people.

How much can you upload?
Up to 10 files can be uploaded in the same thread. You can always make another upload within the same thread if it's relevant to your post.
Formats: gif, jpe, jpeg, jpg, png
Images are capped at 10MB and 10,000 x 10,000 pixels
Max upload size for videos is 250MB. Formats: Avi, Flv, m4v, Mkv, MOV, mp4, MPEG, mpg, WebM, WMV
Video formats larger than 250MB will need to be converted or edited down.
Trouble Watching Videos?
Videos over 250Mb uploaded to Zooville.org need to be split with HJ-Split. You can tell a video has been split if it ends with a three-number suffix such as .001, .002, etc. Once the video has been reassembled, you'll need the appropriate video and audio codecs to play it. Unfortunately, many devices and players (such as QuickTime) do not contain a large variety of codecs by default. If you are having trouble playing videos, zoovilleforum.net recommends you download and attempt to play them with VLC Media Player.
