Myspace is a community that is built on creativity. We embrace all types of artistic expression. At the same time, we must keep a community that is safe, positive, and welcoming to our current and future users. To do this we actively monitor the behavior and content on the site. If we find any content or behavior that violates our terms of service, or puts our members at risk, we will aggressively take action on the content, and if necessary, remove the entire profile. Any content or behavior that we believe puts a person, or group at risk will be reported to local authorities.
What does this mean?
Malicious Bigotry
Don't actively promote violence or extreme hatred against individuals or groups, on the basis of race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
Gore and Violent Content
Please do not post violent or gory images for the purpose of shock value. We will remove the content and consider removing your profile if we believe this was done with the purpose of encouraging violence or harm on others. If we believe any person or group is at risk, we will be working with the proper authorities to notfiy them.
Sexually Explicit Videos and Images
Please don't use our upload feature to host any sexually explicit videos or images. We're not in the business of profiting from adult-oriented content and there are much better websites out there for you to do this on. Trust me when we say that this stuff won't last long on Myspace. Your account will be disabled without any warnings.
Username, profile names, and URL Abuse
Myspace URLs (usernames) are for the use and enjoyment of our users and for others to discover you on the site. Don't squat, hoard, collect, trade, or sell URLs, and don't register a URL for the purpose of impersonating an individual, organization, or brand. We do searches on a consistant basis and will remove any profiles we see behaving in this manner.
Impersonation, Stalking, or Harassment
Treat people on the site the way you'd like to be treated. People are smart and can spot the fakers. If you want to parody, don't try to trick readers into thinking you are actually that public figure. You must state that your profile is a parody or fan profile or it will be subject to deletion. By connecting to them iyou will be able to stay on top of what they want you to know.
Privacy Violations
Don't use Myspace to deceptively obtain personal information. Privacy is a very important topic these days. Don't post content that violates anyone's privacy, including personally identifying or confidential information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, unlisted contact information, or private photos of yourself or others. Once again, this is very important and we will take immediate action on any account that we believe is using the site to share or distribute private data.
What has changed?
We encourage originality and unique expression
Art has always pushed limits. We dont want to hinder the creative spirit of our users on the site by censoring the way our users express themselves.
Tasteful nudity
From the Vatican to LACMA, artists have been able to capture the human body in beautiful and expressive ways. We will be more lenient with our artists on the site that have been able to create beautiful art using the human form.
Sexual Activity is still not accepted and will result in the profile being deleted
Like we said above, there are better websites out there that can help you get your fill of adult material.
