I like your guide lines. but I think you should add two more to the list
Check BBS Post (if they have any) and Check their Reviews.
the reason I say this is because it can give an incite to the kind of person it is. from their BBS Post you cal learn their type of interest and discussions, Plus if they have any art work up that isn't in the portal. this can also tell yo if they troll much or not.
Threw their Reviews you can learn how informed they are or if they just vot 10 on everything with out no real critique.
I'm not saying check them all, but checking a few should be enough

With scouters like you, I feel the Portal is safer now...
It'd be a good thing every aspiring scouter would follow those rules (the favs' one really moved me... <3)
Your renders are so awe-inspiring... I'll try to keep in touch. 'Later!

I try my best :) I like to see people trying and you should not have to be top notch to be in the portal but it is the effot that counts... I like to see an image someone spent a few hours hard work on (even if not the best) that something someone did care about but still posted
:) Thanks for stopping by and taking time to look and the great comment about renders... Your stuff looks great and really like the style that looks all your own.
When I get some more time I will do some more renders.
