We simply ask that you behave as would be considered proper by a majority, in a public setting. In other words, don't abuse our website. Every service we offer is with an understanding that there is a certain level of trust. We trust you to responsibly utilize our service and you trust that we will continue to provide that service in the best manner possible. We anticipate the need for millions of users to be courteous and respectful of the intent of the StoryMall Community and we hope you can be one of them.

2. Don't Cross the Line

We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans any group or individual based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).
Things like predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment, intimidation, invading privacy, revealing other people's personal information, and inciting others to commit violent acts or to violate the Terms of Use are taken very seriously. Anyone caught doing these things may be permanently banned from StoryMall.
Respect copyright. Only upload content that you have created or that you are authorized to use. This means don't upload content you didn't create, or use content that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, writings, artwork, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations. Read our Copyright Tips page for more information.
While StoryMall respects and defends our user's First Amendment rights, we have proceedures in-place regarding pornography or sexually explicit content. Writings, artwork, music, and videos containing nudity, pornographic, or sexually explicit content must be properly catagorized as containing such at the time of upload. Users requesting to view/hear such content must have clear warning of what they are about to view/hear and must also confirm their legal right to do so by indicating they are at least 18 years of age, before the content becomes available to them. Likewise, users with Basic (Free) Accounts will not be permited access to material deamed Explicit or Mature, in an effort to reduce the possibility that children may have access to adult content. If content you have uploaded is flagged by users or Editors as incorrectly catagorized, the content is subject to removal and your account could be temporarily or permanently suspended.
StoryMall has a No-Tollerance policy regarding child exploitation. Be advised we will work closely with law-enforcement and report anyone violating this policy. Please read our Safety Center page and stay safe on StoryMall.
StoryMall is not a "Shock-Site". Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone being physically hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it. Also, Gross-out content (specifically images and videos) showing accidents, dead bodies or similar things intended to shock or disgust as well as images and videos showing animal abuse, drug abuse, under-age drinking and smoking, or bomb making or anything StoryMall considers similar is not allowed and should not be uploaded. Accounts in violation may be subject to content removal and/or temprary or indefinate suspension of services.
Everyone hates spam. Don't create misleading descriptions, tags, titles or thumbnails in order to increase views. It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including reviews/comments and private messages.
