User Policy

Blogrity is a social bookmark site that encourages bloggers to bookmark their articles. Here is our user policy (also known as “Terms of Service.). Please note as time progresses, the site may add more terms to the User Policy. The members of the site will be informed at such time if that occurs.

Policy updated December 6, 2009.

Usage

1. Members may register directly or use OpenID. OpenID users need to provide a valid email address in their profile alongside their ID. As a suggestion, Blogrity recommends registering a username with your email ahead of time that coincides with your OpenID.
Blogrity does not collect and share email addresses with third party companies or programs.

2. Members may hold more than 1 account for branding purposes.
For example, if a member has their own blog, several blogs, and/or also participates as a writer of another blog, they may register for 2 as long as the emails are completely different. One email per account.

3. Spammers will be removed.
How does Blogrity define spam?
- If a user submits a link to a post more than once.
- If a user submits a link to a post to several categories (also means more than once.)
- Submitting crosspostings of an article from a site when the original article has already been submitted. Please do not submit duplicate content.

4. Members or outside visitors cannot manipulate the site in a way that could be damaging and hinder others from using.
Blogrity will involve law enforcement and any offense will be charge to to highest extent possible.

5. Members must be at least 13 years and older when using this website.

6. Wankage, harassment, derogatory comments, and uncivil behavior are not tolerated. Blogrity reserves the right to decide if a situation has become unfavorable and take appropriate action include termination and IP banning from server.

7. Members may submit their own blog links as well as others. However, credit must be put within the content description box on the Submission form indicating that it is not your own link. If a member does not, it may be seen as plagiarism. Blogrity takes plagiarism seriously. If you submit other content, make sure to put that in your content so others know it is not your work. All reports are considered seriously before action is taken. Those found to have plagiarized will be terminated and permanently banned.

8. Only registered members can submit links. The Submission form is not viewable to non-registered users.
