Community Guidelines

 

The SHORT

We want MyBarrier to continue to be an authentic and safe place for inspiration and expression. Help us foster this community. Post only your own photos and videos and always follow the law. Respect everyone on MyBarrier, don’t spam people or post nudity.

The Long

MyBarrier is a reflection of our diverse community of skin types, skin concerns, and routines. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the different points of view that create a safe and open environment for everyone.

We created the Community Guidelines so you can help us foster and protect this amazing community. By using MyBarrier, you agree to these guidelines and our Terms of Use. We’re committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. Overstepping these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts, or other restrictions.

  • Share only routines, products, photos and videos that you’ve taken or have the right to share.

  • As always, you own the content you post on MyBarrier. Remember to post authentic content, and don’t post anything you’ve copied or collected from the Internet that you don’t have the right to post.

  • Post routines, products, photos and videos that are appropriate for a diverse audience.

  • We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons, we don’t allow nudity on MyBarrier. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.

  • People like to share photos or videos of their children. For safety reasons, there are times when we may remove images that show nude or partially-nude children. Even when this content is shared with good intentions, it could be used by others in unanticipated ways.

  • Foster meaningful and genuine interactions.

  • Help us stay spam-free by not artificially collecting likes, followers, or shares, posting repetitive comments or content, or repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent.

  • Follow the law.

  • MyBarrier is not a place to support or praise terrorism, organized crime, or hate groups. Offering sexual services, buying or selling firearms and illegal or prescription drugs (even if it’s legal in your region) is also not allowed. Remember to always follow the law when offering to sell or buy other regulated goods. Accounts promoting online gambling, online real money games of skill or online lotteries must get our prior written permission before using any of our products.

  • We have zero tolerance when it comes to sharing sexual content involving minors or threatening to post intimate images of others.

  • Respect other members of the MyBarrier community.

  • We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We remove content that contains credible threats or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade or shame them, personal information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages. We do generally allow stronger conversation around people who are featured in the news or have a large public audience due to their profession or chosen activities.

  • It's never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases. When hate speech is being shared to challenge it or to raise awareness, we may allow it. In those instances, we ask that you express your intent clearly.

  • Serious threats of harm to public and personal safety aren't allowed. This includes specific threats of physical harm as well as threats of theft, vandalism, and other financial harm. We carefully review reports of threats and consider many things when determining whether a threat is credible.

  • Maintain our supportive environment by not glorifying self-injury.

  • The MyBarrier community cares for each other, and is often a place where people facing difficult issues such as skin disease come together to create awareness or find support.

  • Encouraging or urging people to embrace self-injury is counter to this environment of support, and we’ll remove it or disable accounts if it’s reported to us. We may also remove content identifying victims or survivors of self-injury if the content targets them for attack or humor.

Help us keep the community strong:

  • Each of us is an important part of the MyBarrier community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by using our built-in reporting option. We have a global team that reviews these reports and works as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines.

  • Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between members of the community. If one of your routines was posted by someone else, you could try commenting on the post and asking the person to take it down. If that doesn’t work, please contact us directly so we may resolve the issue together. Don't target the person who posted it by posting screenshots and drawing attention to the situation because that may be classified as harassment.

  • We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
