What kind of material is prohibited on InsaneJournal?
We take pride in trying to provide users with as much freedom of speech as possible. However, there is certain material that InsaneJournal does not permit. Most prohibited content is either banned due to United States or international treaty law, or is not allowed in an effort to keep the service usable for all members.
This is not an exhaustive list. For a full listing of the Terms of Service, see http://www.insanejournal.com/legal/t
Comments, entries, journals and posts not permitted on InsaneJournal include but are not limited to:
-- Content created solely to harass another user
-- Material that invades the privacy of another user by posting personal information
-- Material that meets the United States legal definition of "indecent"
-- Instructions on how to break the law
-- Child pornography (explicit, nude, or erotic pictures taken of anyone under the age of 18, whether or not the model is over 18 at the time of posting)
-- Material that infringes on the copyright or patent of an individual or corporation
-- Unsolicited advertising of any service, goods, or forum (including InsaneJournal communities)
-- Content intended to interfere with another user's use of the site
-- Content that is motivated by hatred towards an individual, race, ethnicity, or orientation
-- Any other material that is a violation of applicable state, federal, or international law
If you find certain content objectionable, but it is not a violation of the Terms of Service, the Abuse team will not take action. For instance, a comment posted in the middle of a debate that contains opinions you personally find distasteful, but which is not harassing, indecent, or libelous, would not be a violation of the Terms of Service.
