Community Guidelines

What we ask of you on http://wildearth.ning.com

WildEarth is all about family ... it's in our nature. Please remember that the basic principles are to have fun, share, explore, learn ... all without offending or upsetting others.

Photos: Please only upload photos you have taken of WildEarth.TV content. Or photographs YOU have taken of wildlife in any of the areas that WE broadcast from. Annotate what area each photo was taken in if not Wildearth content or they may be deleted. Any photos uploaded after the publishing of these guidelines, November 22, 2008, that are not WildEarth content or wildlife photos taken by you in the areas that WE broadcast from, will be deleted immediately without notification.

Videos: Only videos containing WildEarth.TV content are allowed to be uploaded. They must be your own creations. Any videos other than WildEarth.TV content and not of your own creation will be deleted without notification. The principle here is to 'mash-up' the WEvideo that are also available at http://www.wildearth.tv/wearchive for your use.

These guidelines are in place to prevent copyright infringement of others, and to make for easier browsing of the WildEarth.TV sightings as well as to ensure the storage/bandwidth limits of this social network are not exceeded.

Conduct:

You are warned that when communicating on the Chat, Forums, Private Messages, or any other interactions using the WildEarth social network (Ning) site: any inappropriate language, threatening, abusive, racist, demeaning, controversial, political, religious, or not appropriate for children within any discussion or comment will not be tolerated. This is a family friendly Social Network. Please let's keep it that way.

Communications: When communicating with the WildEarth Team including those in Final Control and the Admin or Moderator Team, please do so in a courteous manner. WE work hard to ensure your enjoyment, a little respect goes a long way.

Please Note: When communicating with others (ie members, admin/moderators), remember they are just that "private" messages/communications and should not be shared with others without prior permission from all parties involved. (added March 19, 2009)

Any form of promotion to adult content is strictly not permitted.

Member Accounts: Please only one membership account per individual household user.

Advertising: Please do not advertise products or services on the WildEarth social network or www.wildearth.tv without prior consent from WildEarth.TV

These guidelines are being implemented in consideration of all our extended WildEarth family members no matter what nationality, race, religion or age.

The WildEarth Team wants to thank each and every one of our members for helping to build the WildEarth Social Network, website and 'movement' into what it is today!
