~~~
++ What does Quainte mean? Quainte was originally found by Sarah and Sara. But since they have left, we have a new definition for Quainte. The definition in the dictionary is "cleverly made; artful". So Quainte is cleverly made, also in an artful way.
++ Is there an easier web address for Quainte? Yes, you can simply type in “Quainte501.com” and you will find this forum. Also, if you find yourself forgetting anytime, simply look Quainte up in search engines, and you will find us also.
++ Are there any general rules here? Quainte is a very relaxing and friendly environment. Besides the basic rules of respect, such as no bashing, we also discourage double-posting and leeching. Extensive general rules can be found in
The Road to SS501's Paradise and each section’s respective rule threads that are pinned. We encourage everyone to read through them. Most importantly, we stress reading the rules in Sparklings.
++ Is there a rule for signature sizes? Generally, we are pretty lax about signature sizes. But please do keep your signatures to a maximum size limit of 250 pixels in height and 500 pixels in width.
++ Is there a requirement to be able to download in the Sparklings section? It depends. Half of the time, the direct download links are posted for your enjoyment. Other times, we may carry out our PM system. More information can be found
here.
++ Why aren’t we allowed to post or share SS501 mp3s or DVDs? We want to take out the option of downloading such things from our forum, because we want to push members to not download online, but support SS501’s hard work and buy their products.
++ Which videos have been subbed into English? (soft subs or hard subs) You can find more information
here.
++ Why aren’t more videos subbed into English? We are currently in the test-trial phase of a possible subbing team here at Quainte. Subbing videos requires the collaboration of numerous and dedicated individuals. We have a limited amount of people here at Quainte who are able to translate the videos in English, and this is what’s mostly preventing videos from being subbed.
++ What am I allowed to post and not allowed to post? (1) No bashing. (2) You may post new materials and re-post old materials of SS501. (3) With the exception of Scintillates, you are allowed to post thread of SS501 and other Korean artists in each of the sections. Keep in mind that this is a SS501-dedicated forum, so please keep your posts of other artists to a limit.
++ Why do we need to add credits to all the posts? Furthermore, why must we also credit Quainte?Credits are necessary to (sorry to sound redundant) give credits to the efforts of original source. In addition, this will allow those interested to track where the information is from. Members are also required to credit Quainte because we want to keep track of our posts in case others take things out of the forum.
++ Am I allowed to take things out of the forum? 1) Unless it is otherwise noted, direct download links and links to pictures are NOT to be taken out of Quainte. 2) You may take anything else out once you PM the person who posted the thread and receive permission.
3) Please see specific rules regarding Scintillates
here.
++ How can I help out? Quainte is always accepting to more help. You may help out as you see fit – help advertise Quainte or post new videos or pictures. You can also PM anyone on the Quainteam and we will guide you in the right direction.
++ How can I help advertise Quainte elsewhere? You can find more information
here.
++ Is this the only SS501 English forum?We are the oldest SS501 English forum that is still alive and well. If you are interested in participating in more communities, please check out the advertisements in Streaking Across.
