Yahoo! Community Guidelines

Yahoo! communities (Chat, Clubs, Message Boards, Profiles, etc....) give Yahoo! members a place to meet, interact, and share ideas with each other. Just like a real community, you may have different opinions than others in Yahoo! communities, and just like the real world, you may face different norms or even legal restrictions when participating in a community based in another country.

The Yahoo! community experience is best when people follow a few rules. Here are some key ones to remember:

• Do not harass, abuse, or threaten other members.
• Do not post content that is obscene or otherwise objectionable.
• Try to stay on topic. If you want to discuss a topic that is not related to the community area in which you are participating, please go to another topic area or create a new one.
• Refrain from using these community services for commercial or advertising purposes, or for any illegal purposes. Please do not "spam" or otherwise post in quantity through automated methods.
• Don't post content that infringes the legal rights of others, such as material that is defamatory or that makes use of copyrighted content without permission from the owner.
• In some areas of our Yahoo! communities (for example, adult clubs and personals) we require you to be of legal age to participate. Please check the terms of service for more details.
• Adult-oriented content is not permitted.

Yahoo! does not edit the content in our Yahoo! communities. Postings that violate these guidelines or the Terms or Service, which contain additional rules that govern Yahoo! services, may lead to the deletion, without notice, of your Yahoo! ID and everything associated with it, including but not limited to email accounts, clubs, posts, and profiles.
