Yahoo! Community Guidelines

Yahoo! communities (Chat, Clubs, Message Boards, Profiles, etc....) give Yahoo! members a place to meet, interact, and share ideas with each other. Just like a real community, you may have different opinions than others in Yahoo! communities.

The Yahoo! community experience is best when people follow a few rules. Here are some key ones to remember:

Do not harass, abuse, or threaten other members.
Do not post content that is obscene or otherwise objectionable.
Try to stay on topic. If you want to discuss a topic that is not related to the community area in which you are participating, try going to another topic area or create a new one.
Refrain from using these community services for commercial or advertising purposes.
Don't post copyrighted content without permission from the owner.
Adult-oriented content is permitted only in areas marked as Adult Content areas. (Note: You must be 18 years old or over to access Adult Content areas.)
In some areas of our Yahoo! communities (for example, adult clubs and personals) we require you to be 18 years or older. Please check the terms of service for more details.

Yahoo! does not edit the content in our Yahoo! communities. Postings that violate the Terms of Service, which contain additional rules that govern Yahoo! services, may also lead to the deletion, without notice, of your Yahoo! ID and everything associated with it, including email accounts, clubs, posts, and profiles.

Yahoo! Briefcase:
Yahoo! considers the contents of your Briefcase to be the private communications between you and the people you have designated to have access to your Briefcase. Yahoo! will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a User's private communications, e xcept that User agrees Yahoo! may do so: (a) as required by law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) if necessary to enforce Yahoo!'s Universal Terms of Service and these Community Guidelines; (d) to respond to claims that such contents violate the righ ts of third parties; (e) to protect the rights or property of Yahoo! or others; and (f) to identify or resolve technical problems or respond to complaints about the Service.

Please report any violations of the TOS to our Customer Care group.
