Disqualifications 16-29 Continued

16.- Any significant images or text that are cut off. This can be described as scrolling.         
17.- Sites with mouse trails or anything else following our pointer? [Explanation]< Some script or picture that follows your mouse pointer. The one on this page is the example we mean. It is placed here for reference to this rule. Number 17.
18.- Posting images on your site from another server. (excl. affiliates) ?  [Explanation We are talking about IMAGES. LINKING:You do not strictly need another web site's permission to link your site to theirs, but it's a good idea to get permission anyway. If you do link to another Web site without permission, be sure to link to its home page. There have been some disputes about links that bypass a site's home page, because this practice may cut into the linked site's advertising revenues. Linking images from another site is sometimes against the acceptable use policies for content from the site (for example, linking directly to large clip art sites is taboo). Even if your users create the links, you as the site administrator may be blamed. We take a good look at all images on your site.] 
19.- Sites not in English.            [Explanation] -

emplacements pas en anglais/

20.More than three animations per page. Animations [GIF] [Explanation : A GIF graphic file, which consists of two or more images shown in a timed sequence to give the effect of motion.]
GIF' S are great and paint one a picture of you mission. But like in all things moderation is important. So in our program Three is the limit per page that we will allow on your journey. Animation Factory we believe has some of the finest Gifs by talented artists on the worldwide web today.

21.-Multiple pop-up windows for advertising no exceptions  [Explanation A type of window that appears on top of (over) the browser window of a Web site that a user has visited. In contrast to a pop under ad, which appears behind (in back of) the browser window, a pop-up is more obtrusive as it covers other windows, particularly the window that the user is trying to read.

22.- Multiple broken links or external links?   Links checked by Xenu's Link checker. Sometimes you can go to a site and a link checker will bring up even hundreds of broken links. So a judge must go and check out each of them one at a time. [Explanation A number that may be divided by another number with no remainder: 4, 6, and 12 are multiples of 2.] We consider more than 6 broken links where the picture or text is simply 'not present. This is different from code error.   
23.- Any sites without giving proper credit to those who authored the materials? It is ok to "copy and paste" as post word for word of certain materials if done with permission and credit due.  This site uses a Plagiarism Detector in our Evaluations.

[Explanation]

DEFINITION #2: Plagiarism is stealing. You must have a credit page or list upon the materials who authored the materials if other than yourself, author, or owner of the site. Before you post materials on a site you must first obtain permission for such use. This can be done via mail or e-mail and should be kept on file by the web master or owner. Sometimes a author or owner of a material or picture will not require you to post this information, we believe that a good web master or owner should post the information regardless, unless requested not to do so. Some pictures and materials over the Internet has been changed and modified and the owner [s] are sometimes hard to track down.
24. Long load times exceeding 60 seconds in 56k. Load times are important.  A visitor will not wait on long pages to load. Not everyone has the blessing of high speed and must use a modem. We check each page of your site for loading times. It is better to have 'more' pages this allows loading time to become faster for those who visit. 

 
25.- Sites not compatible in AOL,  and Internet Explorer, Foxfire browser,  or crashing my browser or causing my computer to freeze up
