Dvenport.us Community Guidelines

 

Respect the Dvenport.us Community

We're not asking for the kind of respect reserved for nuns, the elderly, and brain surgeons. We mean don't abuse the site. Every cool new community feature on Dvenport.us involves a certain level of trust. We trust you to be responsible, and millions of users respect that trust, so please be one of them.

 

We Review Videos Flagged As Inappropriate

Okay, this one is more about us than you. When a content as for example a video gets flagged as inappropriate, we review the video to determine whether it violates our Terms of Use—flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the system. If we remove your video after reviewing it, you can assume that we removed it purposefully, and you should take our warning notification seriously. Take a deep breath, read our Terms of Use and try to see it from our perspective. If you find other videos on Dvenport.us with the same violations, please flag them so we can review them as well!

 

Don't Cross the Line

Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:

• Dvenport.us is not for pornography or sexually explicit content. If this describes your content or video, even if it's a video of yourself, don't post it on Dvenport.us. Also, be advised that we work closely with law enforcement and we report child exploitation. Please read our Safety Tips and stay safe on Dvenport.us.

• Don't post content or videos showing bad stuff like animal abuse, drug abuse, or bomb making.

• Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your content or video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it.

• Dvenport.us is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out content or videos of accidents, dead bodies and similar things.

• Respect copyright. Only upload content or videos that you made or that you are authorized to use. This means don't upload content or videos you didn't make, or use content in your content or videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, content or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations. Read our Copyright Tips for more information.

• We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).

• There is zero tolerance for predatory behaviour, stalking, threats, harassment, invading privacy, or the revealing of other members' personal information. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from Dvenport.us.

• Everyone hates spam. Do not create misleading descriptions, tags, titles or thumbnails in order to increase views. It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages.

Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don't try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around them—just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. Violations of the Terms of Use may result in a warning notification or may result in termination of your account and deletion of all your contents and videos. We decide whether we believe your violation of our Terms of Use should result in termination of your account.

 

If you have an account terminated you are prohibited from ever signing up for another account!

 

Dvenport.us is for the Community

Remember that this is your community! Each and every user of Dvenport.us makes the site what it is, so don't be afraid to dig in and get involved!

• Have fun with the site. There's a lot here to see, and lots of folks making amazing stuff—one of them might be you! Equipment's getting cheaper and easier to use all the time, so dive in and enjoy.

• Let folks know what you think. Feedback's part of the experience, and when done with respect, can be a great way to make friends, share stories, and make your time on Dvenport.us richer. So leave comments, rate content and videos, make your own responses to contents and videos that affect you, enter contests of interest—there's a lot going on and a lot of ways to participate here.

• You may not like everything you see. Some of the content here may offend you—if you find that it violates our Terms of Use, then click "Flag as Inappropriate" under the content or video you're watching to submit it for review by Dvenport.us staff. If it doesn't, then consider just clicking on something else—why waste time reading and watching content or videos you don't like?

 

That's it! Thanks for reading!
