Comments

• Registration
  • If you register and log in before commenting, you can add a pretty profile picture to display with all your conversations!
  • Logging in also helps everyone verify real people from possible spammers and scammers (we use CAPTCHAs to filter out as many robots as possible, but it's only a precaution).
  • But anyone is free to leave comments on the site, with or without registering or logging in.
• Tone and content
  • We welcome any on-topic comments, constructive criticism, and dicsussion… of the non-ahole-ish variety, of course.
  • All other comments will be removed as soon as possible. Feel free to let us know about any inappropriate comments we may have missed!

User created content

• Blog posts
  • User-submitted articles are curated by the Whereapy team. We do this not to build an auro of exclusivity (anyone can submit!), but because we want the articles to be genuinely useful, and to match the ethos of the site as much as possible. If you're interested please let us know.
• Resources
  • Soon (at some point in the near future), we also plan to let users upload content to the free community resources section of the site.
  • When that happens, we ask you to try to follow the guidelines, and not spam us. We - and everyone else - will thank you for it!
  • All non-guideline-following resources will be pruned accordingly.
• Agreements
  • See below for agreements and information for contributing or using user-submitted content.

Public Domain

We are not lawyers. We do our best to make sure any antique photos and illustrations in the downloads section fall within the public domain (for the United States). We only post and use images that we believe have entered the public domain, if you discover an image that is not within public domain please let us know, and we will take care of it.
