PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV Community Guidelines
Respect the PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV Community
We're not asking for the kind of respect reserved for nuns, the elderly,
and brain surgeons. We mean don't abuse the site. Every cool new community
feature on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV involves a certain level of trust. We trust you to
be responsible, and millions of users respect that trust. Please be one
of them.
Don't Cross the Line
Here are some common-sense rules that will help you steer clear of trouble:
* PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV is not for pornography or sexually explicit content.
If this describes your video, even if it's a video of yourself, don't
post it on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV. Also, be advised that we work closely
with law enforcement and we report child exploitation.
* Don't post videos showing bad stuff like animal abuse, drug abuse, under-age
drinking and smoking, or bomb making.
* Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone
being physically hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it.
* PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV is not a shock site. Don't post gross-out videos of accidents,
dead bodies or similar things intended to shock or disgust.
* Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you are
authorized to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or
use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such
as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other
users, without necessary authorizations. Read our Copyright Tips for more
information.
* We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular
points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks
or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability,
gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).
* Things like predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation,
invading privacy, revealing other people’s personal information,
and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Terms of
Use are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be
permanently banned from PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV.
* Everyone hates spam. Don’t create misleading descriptions, tags,
titles or thumbnails in order to increase views. It's not okay to post
large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including
comments and private messages.
Please take these rules seriously and take them to heart. Don't try to look for loopholes or try to lawyer your way around the guidelines—just understand them and try to respect the spirit in which they were created. If you'd like more details, check out our Community Guideline Tips.
We Enforce These Guidelines
Okay, this one is more about us than you. PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV staff review flagged videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week to determine whether they violate our Community Guidelines. When they do, we remove them. Sometimes a video doesn’t violate our Community Guidelines, but may not be appropriate for everyone. These videos may be age-restricted. Accounts are penalized for Community Guidelines violations and serious or repeated violations can lead to account termination. If your account is terminated, you won’t be allowed to create any new accounts. For more information about how the Community Guidelines are enforced and the consequences of violating them, please visit the Help Center.
PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV is for the Community
Remember that this is your community! Each and every user of PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV makes the site what it is, so don't be afraid to dig in and get involved!
* Have fun with the site. There's a lot to see here, and lots of folks
making amazing stuff—one of them might be you! Equipment's getting
cheaper and easier to use all the time, so dive in and enjoy.
* Let folks know what you think. Feedback's part of the experience, and
when done with respect, can be a great way to make friends, share stories,
and make your time on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV richer. So leave comments, rate videos,
make your own responses to videos that affect you, enter contests of interest—there's
a lot going on and a lot of ways to participate.
* You may not like everything you see. Some of the content here may offend
you—if you find that it violates our Terms of Use, then click the
button that says "Flag" under the video you're watching to submit
it for review by PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV staff. If it doesn't, then consider just clicking
on something else—why waste time watching videos you don't like?
That's it! Thanks for reading!

Community Guideline Tips
Want a little more insight into the limits and exceptions in the Community Guidelines? Here are some helpful examples and tips:
Sex and Nudity
Most nudity is not allowed, particularly if it is in a sexual context. Generally if a video is intended to be sexually provocative, it is less likely to be acceptable for PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV. There are exceptions for some educational, documentary and scientific content, but only if that is the sole purpose of the video and it is not gratuitously graphic. For example, a documentary on breast cancer would be appropriate, but posting clips out of context from the documentary might not be.
Hate Speech
"Hate speech" refers to content that promotes hatred against members of a protected group. For instance, racist or sexist content may be considered hate speech. Sometimes there is a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation, but not okay to make insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality.
Shocking and Disgusting
The world is a dangerous place. Sometimes people do get hurt and it’s inevitable that these events may be documented on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV. However, it’s not okay to post violent or gory content that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational or disrespectful. If a video is particularly graphic or disturbing, it should be balanced with additional context and information. For instance, including a clip from a slaughter house in a video on factory farming may be appropriate. However, stringing together unrelated and gruesome clips of animals being slaughtered in a video may be considered gratuitous if its purpose is to shock rather than illustrate.
Dangerous Illegal Acts
While it might not seem fair to say you can’t show something because of what viewers theoretically might do in response, we draw the line at content that’s intended to incite violence or encourage dangerous, illegal activities that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death. This means not posting videos on things like instructional bomb making, ninja assassin training, sniper attacks, videos that train terrorists, or tips on illegal street racing. Any depictions like these should be educational or documentary and shouldn’t be designed to help or encourage others to imitate them.
Children
Videos involving children (anyone under the age of 18) are particularly sensitive. Videos containing children should never be sexually suggestive or violent. Please be cautious when posting something involving a child. If you’re sharing a private moment or home movie, consider making it a private video so that only your family and friends can see it.
Copyright
When you create something original, you own the copyright for it. Likewise, when other people create content, they may have a copyright to it. As a creative community, it’s essential that everyone on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV respect the copyrights of others. If you’re not sure if something will violate someone’s copyright, the safest thing to do is to create something completely original, with images and audio you’ve created. If it’s all yours you never have to worry about copyright—you own it. If you’ve recorded something from a DVD, videotaped your TV screen, or downloaded a video online, don’t post it unless you have permission.
Privacy
If a video you've recorded features people who are readily identifiable and who haven't consented to being filmed, there's a chance they'll file a privacy complaint seeking its removal. We'll notify you if that happens and give you a chance to edit and re-upload your video before we act on the complaint. If we do remove your video for privacy reasons, don't upload another version featuring the same people. Chances are those people will file another privacy complaint or report you for harassment. Don't post other people's personal information, including phone numbers, addresses, credit card numbers, and government IDs. We're serious about keeping our users safe and suspend accounts that violate people's privacy.
Harassment
It comes down to respect. PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV is all about sharing and interacting with the community in respectful ways. If you're not sure whether a video or comment you've made crosses the line, follow a simple rule of thumb: if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, don't say it on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV. And if you're looking to attack, harass, demean, or impersonate others, go elsewhere.
Impersonation
Impersonating another user by copying someone's exact channel layout, using a similar username, or posing as that person in comments, emails or videos is considered harassment. If you want to keep your account, stay away from participating in any form of impersonation or harassing activity on the site.
Threats
Users shouldn't feel threatened when they're on PhiladelphiaDANCE.TV.
Period. Don't leave threatening comments on other people's videos.
