CONTENT POLICY

Puget Sound Off (PSO) is designed to provide youth with a forum for discussion, artistic expression, and action as a way to empower and encourage youth voice. PSO aims to be a catalyst for increasing youth involvement and engagement within the community. We desire to build community by encouraging expression of one’s beliefs while maintaining respect for others.

Important issues may sometimes require the addition of controversial or sensitive content, but good taste must come first in PSO’s content. PSO will be inclusive and respect the rights and feelings of others. In order to attain this goal, the following content is prohibited on Puget Sound Off:

· Content that is obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit;

· Content that is violent;

· Post or share any personally identifiable or private information of any third party;

• Content that is or may be deemed to be grossly offensive to the online; community, including but not limited to, blatant expressions of bigotry, prejudice, racism, hatred and profanity;
• Content promoting or providing instructional information about illegal activities.
• Content portraying or describing cruelty to animals

· Harm members in any way;

· Collect or store personal data about other users.

· Stalk or otherwise harass another;

• Content or other material that contains viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of Puget Sound Off servers or another users computer;
• Upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letter,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation;

· Engage in any predatory or stalking behavior.

Postings, blogs, photos, videos, or other content are not necessarily reviewed or approved by PSO or does the content reflect the views of PSO. Failure to adhere to this code of conduct may result, among other things, in the termination of your account and the deletion of content that you have posted on Puget Sound Off, with or without notice. PSO may reject content that, in its judgment, is deemed inappropriate.

This Code of Content is subject to change at any time at Puget Sound Off’s sole discretion.
