ATMindPark Poster’s Guidelines
ATMindPark strongly believes in freedom of speech. We will reach an audience across many cultures, countries and backgrounds with varying values. Our service is designed to let users freely express any ideas and opinions without us censoring or endorsing them. That being said, a few types of content and behavior are excluded because we consider them harmful to the ATMindPark community’s mission.
To be transparent about what is and isn’t allowed on your site, we’ve put together this set of guidelines. The following activity/material isn’t allowed on ATMindPark.
Illegal content and conduct. Self-explanatory.
Intellectual property infringement. ATMindPark is a publishing, rather than a file sharing platform, so we recognize that copyrighted materials are often used in fair use context. We strongly support this and urge copyright holders to consider this before submitting complaints. If you’re unsure, 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 non-clinical depictions of sexually explicit acts.
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. (Pseudonyms (usernames), parody and satire are ok!)
Directly threatening material. Direct and realistic threats of violence will not be posted. (This doesn’t mean that we’ll remove all hyperbole or offensive language.)
Posting private information. We don’t share someone’s personal information without their consent. This includes sensitive information or private patient disclosures. Names: We only allow real individual names of living public persons to be posted by the persons themselves, making public statements, which we will confirm before posting. Deceased public persons may be mentioned by name concerning public information. Every other real name will be shown as an initial or terminal letter, selected to increase clarity, except artist’s credits.
Advertising. Advertising is only permitted as pre-approved in writing by ATMindPark, and must use WordAds and link to a WordPress.com VIP or Enterprise site.
Hotlinking to WordPress.com. Other than via VideoPress, ATMindPark won’t post files that will only be used on other sites.
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 aren’t cool. We don’t want you to pollute the web outside of ATMindPark either, so we ask you to please avoid sending unwanted or unsolicited promotions or emails about your site, even if it’s not on WordPress.com.
Bear in mind that these are just guidelines — interpretations are up to us. These guidelines are not exhaustive and are subject to change.
If you believe an ATMindPark post has violated our own Terms of Service or any of these policies, please report the site by a submitting a post. 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.
