Editing
AboutUs pages have editable sections. We assume good faith and give everyone the ability to make constructive edits. We invite the public to edit pages about websites, people, places, and things that they operate or know something about. Here at AboutUs we strive to review every edit made to make sure they are constructive and remove the few that are not. However; given the large amount of content and sheer number of edits we do miss a few. Anyone can also sign up to be notified when a page that they care about is edited.
Content Policy
Content should be constructive and and legal within the United States of America and its territories. Constructive and legal content does not mean everyone will agree with it. However; AbousUs is about communication and collaboration so we invite everyone to add their voice to any subject posted on the site.
Disallowed Content
Content that is considered illegal, obscene or that incites violence is not allowed and will be removed when it is found. Displaying most kinds of this content is illegal in the United States. Obscene content is legally defined as content that meets the following description:
- Whether an average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work as a whole appeals to prurient interest.
- Whether the work depicts sexual content in a patently offensive way.
- Whether the work as a whole lacks serious artistic, literary, political or scientific merit.
Flagging
We attempt to flag content deemed inappropriate for a general audience. When content is flagged users will be warned that the page contains adult content before allowing them to view it. Inappropriate content may include, but is not limited to, pages that:
- Contain lewd or sexually explicit images.
- Contain sexually explicit language.
- Contain sexual advice in explicitly sexual or erotic language.
- Display sexual toys or products prominently.
