These Sporting Guidelines are here to help you understand what it means to be a member of MySportstream. Don't forget that your use of MySportstream is subject to these Guidelines and our Terms of Use.

Some DOs and DON'Ts to remember while using MySportstream

DOs

• Be a Sport

  We're a community of many types of people, who all have the right to feel comfortable and who may not think what you think, believe what you believe or see what you see. So, be polite and respectful in your interactions with other members.

• Upload photos that you've taken

  Respect the copyright of others. This means don't steal photographs that other people have taken and pass them off as your own. And yes, MySportstream is for photos. With some exceptions, it's OK to post other images, but if the majority of your photostream contains content other than photographs (like illustrations, screenshots, diagrams, etc.) it's very likely that your account will be marked Not in Public Site Areas (NIPSA). NIPSA means your photos won't show up in photo searches, but they will still be visible in your pages, your groups and contacts.

• Link back to MySportstream when you post your photos elsewhere

  The MySportstream service makes it possible to post images hosted on MySportstream to outside websites. However, pages on other websites that display images hosted on MySportstream.com must provide a link back to MySportstream from each photo to its photo page on MySportstream.

• Enjoy MySportstream!

  See the world through other eyes. Look at all the fascinating sports there are to take part in.

DON'Ts

• Upload anything that isn't yours

  This includes other people's photographs and/or stuff that you've collected from around the Internet.

• Use your account to host web graphics like logos and banners

  Your account will be terminated if you use it to host graphic elements of web page designs, icons, smilies, buddy icons, forum avatars, badges and other non-photographic elements on external websites.

• Vent your frustrations, rant or bore the brains out of other members

  MySportstream is not a venue for to you harass, abuse, impersonate, or intimidate others. If we receive a valid complaint about your conduct, we will send you a warning or terminate your account.

Any other commercial use of MySportstream, MySportstream technologies (including APIs, MySportstreammail, etc), or MySportstream accounts must be approved by MySportstream.

• Be a sport at all times

  Don’t try and foul other people. Its not big and its not clever.

• Upload photos that include frontal nudity, genitalia and/or "intimate moments" between consenting partners in public areas of MySportstream

  If you do we'll make your photostream private and remind you of this Guideline. If you don't heed our warning and continue to make similar content public, we'll terminate your account without warning.

• Upload content that is illegal in public or private areas of MySportstream

  If you do, your account will be deleted and we'll take appropriate action that may include reporting you to the authorities.

Copyright Infringement

If you see your photographs in other members' photostreams, don't panic. This is probably just a misunderstanding and not malicious. A good first step is to contact them and politely ask them to remove it. If that doesn't work, please get in touch with us.

You may feel tempted to post an entry in one of our public forums about what's happening, but that's not the best way to resolve a possible copyright problem. We don't encourage singling out individuals or their photos in our public forums.

In Conclusion

We don't want these parameters to be a downer and we want everyone to have a good time. If you don't feel that you can abide by our Community Guidelines as outlined above, maybe MySportstream isn't for you. Plainly speaking, if you don't want to abide by our T’s and C’s and these Guidelines, don't let the door hit you on your way out!
