Illegal content and conduct: Self-explanatory.
Intellectual property infringement: We recognize that copyrighted materials are often used in fair use context. We strongly support this and urge copyright holders to take this into consideration before submitting complaints. If you’re not sure, a good rule of thumb is to always ask the rights holder for permission before republishing their content.
Pornography: We know that there may be different definitions of this, but generally, we define pornography as visual depictions of sexually explicit acts. Nudity, in and of itself, is fine.
Technologically harmful content: Please don’t upload or link to malware, spyware, adware, or other malicious or destructive code.
Impersonation: Don’t claim to be a person or organization you’re not. (Parody and satire are ok though!)
Directly threatening material: We don’t tolerate direct and realistic threats of violence. (This doesn’t mean that we’ll remove all hyperbole or offensive language.)
Posting private information: Don’t share someone’s personal information without their consent. This includes collecting sensitive information in Contact Forms such as account passwords and credit card numbers, to name a couple.
Advertising: Advertising isn’t permitted.
Spam or machine-generated content: You know what this is, but in general, sites such as those primarily dedicated to drive traffic to third party sites, boost SEO, phish, spoof, or promote affiliate marketing are not welcome.
These are just guidelines; interpretations are up to us. These guidelines are not exhaustive and are subject to change.
If you believe a page or user on OurNows.com site has violated our Terms of Service or any of these policies, please report the site. We review and investigate all complaints that we receive, but if and how we respond will depend on a variety of factors, such as the information available to us and the type of violation. We may also contact the site owner to inform him/her of the complaint.
If we’re not in a position to make a determination (for example, whether something is defamatory or not), we defer to the judgment of a court.
These guidelines are adapted from guidelines proposed by the folks at WordPress.com
