Treemo Etiquette

Treemo is an online and mobile community dedicated to empowering self-expression and transforming creativity into action by sharing digital media - video, audio, photography, words, and visual art. Treemo believes in the freedom of expression and the sanctity of diversity, but we also honor our collective planetary obligation. By harnessing all that creative energy, we can both energize our communities and preserve this perfect planet. And with responsibility comes protocol:

  • Treemo insists that all members remain free to express themselves in a positive manner.

  • Treemo pledges to weed out untoward discrimination and prejudice, so everyone feels part of an equal-opportunity community.

That said, please take a moment to read our etiquette policy.

Community Rules

Treemo will not tolerate remarks or creative expressions that stem from bigotry, including (but not limited to):

  • Racist slurs

  • Derogatory remarks about philosophies and religions

  • Offensive remarks based on gender or sexual preference

Violations and Consequences

Any violation of community etiquette will initially result in a warning, sent by Treemo Administrators. Repeated violations will result in further steps taken - including banning an individual from the Treemo community - as deemed necessary. Accusations of policy violations, questions regarding administrative actions, and copyright infringement reports should always be addressed to Treemo Administrators; not to individual members. False accusations may be considered violations of policy, and will be handled accordingly.

Prohibited sexual and violent content

Posting content covered by the lists below to Treemo will result in immediate deletion of the content. Explicit nudity will result in immediate banning of the account, and all other violations will result in a warning. Continuing to post such content will result in the account being banned.

Sexual content:

  • Legs up or apart in a clearly sexually suggestive fashion

  • Female body shots without heads that are focused in a suggestive fashion on breasts, female genitalia or buttocks, no matter what the exposure

  • Male body shots without heads that focus on male genitalia, no matter what the exposure

  • Rear shot-bent over with thong (full body static rear OK)

  • See-through underwear

  • Sexually suggestive touching or positions with single model

  • Explicit nipple shots

  • People touching each other in a sexually suggestive fashion

  • Pubic hair

  • Use of objects to imply sexual activity

  • Pixelated images

  • Sexually suggestive titles

  • Titles overtly implying nudity

Drugs and alcohol:

Pictures should not present graphic depictions of illegal drug use or alcohol use. Graphic depiction of illegal drug use or alcohol use is defined as verbal words, or non-verbal actions, that depict illegal drug use or alcohol usein such an explicit and dwelling manner that a reasonable person would conclude that the depiction is intended as a serious expression to promote or incite illegal drug use or alcohol use.

Violence:

  • Sexual violence/rape

  • Blood and gore

  • The act of killing

  • Deliberate injury and unusual methods of causing injury or pain

  • Deliberate damage to objects

  • Criminal acts

  • Extreme violence including sadism, torture

  • Infliction of severe pain or physical harm (possible exceptions: artistic, educational, sports)

  • Violence involving use of weapons by human figures or fantasy characters that is realistic enough to be considered promotion of violence

  • Repeated sustained violence (including kicking, hitting, stabbing) that amounts to cruel and unusual behavior

  • Violence involving graphic images of blood or injuries

  • "Calls to action" or depictions that in the context of the content amount to clear intent to incite violence or any of the acts above

Site Abuse

Treemo will not tolerate attempts on any kind to exploit or disrupt the layout, navigability, or general use of the Treemo site. Artificial manipulation of any aspect of the system by means of extra accounts, specious use, or other intentional misuse will be treated as exploitative. Treemo will issue no warnings for violations of this nature. Violators will be banned immediately upon the discovery of disruption or abuse. All infractions are handled on a case-by-case basis exclusively by Treemo administrators.

Now. Enough of all that legalese. Let's go create...
