Defamation, Privacy and Youth

eCribz Incorporated treats all abuse violations on a case by case basis. Violations which fall into this category sometimes cannot be determined by expressing a definition, but there are some guidelines which can be used to determine if the content on a site is in violation of our Terms-of-Service.

Please review the following guidelines:

• Adult images are any nude images of the human or humanoid form which depict the nude body in a manner other than in the classical style (i.e. the Statue of David, Venus de Milo, Da Vinci Man Figure, etc). Contemporary nude "art" is considered adult content and is in violation of our Term-of-Service.
• Artistic nudes in the classical style must be content specific. If such an image is used, it must fall in line with the theme of the site. Alterations of the work for any purpose will be considered a violation of our Terms-of-Service.
• Any text which describes, refers to, or alludes to services, stories, or products of an adult or sexual nature is a violation of our terms.

Other inappropriate content includes:

• Graphically violent images not specific to the context of the site
• Graphically violent content that is not computer generated for gaming purposes
• Hate speech directed toward an individual or group of people based on sex, color, creed, practices, or orientation
• Content depicting or referring to the harm of others, animals, or property
• Content depicting violent behavior toward others or oneself

Should the proper information be in order, please fill out the following form to report the violation.
