ystark.org Code of Conduct

Please read the important guidelines below. If you notice anything in violation of the guidelines, please report the issue.

Here at ystark.org, as with any website where people come together, it is important to adhere to certain rules of etiquette. Most can be covered by remaining respectful of your fellow members, but we have listed some specific guidelines below.

Absolutely No Solicitation
Under no circumstances should you contact another member asking for money -- this includes friend requests and comments left of member walls. If you have a cause or organization you'd like people to donate to, you can post that information on your Profile, however you should never approach another member for any sort of loan or to ask them to give you money for your personal use. If we get complaints from other members that you have done so, your account will be removed.

Rated PG-13.
Please be sure that all posts, comments and discussion threads you make remain at a PG-13 level. This includes text, video, images and any other content you may add or upload. All content on the site must be friendly and non-offensive. If you are unsure about whether or not it is appropriate, it probably isn't.

No Inappropriate Content or Conduct.
Content that is NOT APPROPRIATE on ystark.org includes, but is not limited to, material copyrighted by someone who isn't you, any content that is vulgar or obscene or contains adult themes or images, including sexual commentary or imagery. Abusive language, name-calling, insults, harassment, spamming, flaming, baiting and/or personal attacks will not be tolerated. Further, members are prohibited from making posts or comments that encourage this type of behavior. ystark! reserves the right to take appropriate measures, including deleting content, blocking any member from posting to our site and/or revoking the membership for any behavior we determine to be damaging to our community.

Age Limit.
Our network is designed for members who are 18 and older. We reserve the right to remove and ban any member we find to be under the age of 18.

Guard Your Personal Information.
ystark.org is a Public Network. Non-members have access to reading posts and profiles on our site. Any person is eligible to join this network. We highly discourage members from posting personal information such as telephone number, home address, or other specific information which may make your location easily discovered by others. If you’d like to share such information with other members, we advise you to do so with great forethought and caution, and only via the private messaging system. Be aware that ystark.org cannot be held liable or responsible for any damages incurred as a result of sharing said information.

Please Refrain from Advertising.
We hope that the ystark.org community will help you network with your peers, but please note that it is not appropriate to advertise your business, products or services on the ystark.org public forums, public image gallery or in comments you leave on other member’s profile walls or posts. It is acceptable to promote your business on your own profile page or blog post. Our network administrators will delete any content that is construed as advertising outside of your own profile.

If you become aware of any content that may violate these guidelines, or other worrisome issues, please promptly REPORT THE ISSUE and our community administrators will look into it as quickly as possible.
