Before you do ANYTHING on this message board, we’d like to encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Fotolog Community Guidelines again: Guidelines
Here, and on the Fotolog site, the following is imperative:
1. RESPECT OTHERS AND THEIR WORK.
2. RESPECT THE FOTOLOG ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HARD TO KEEP IT USABLE AND ENJOYABLE.

This way you'll get a much better experience and your questions, feedback, suggestions, problems, etc. will be answered much faster and everyone will be happy.
What is the Fotolog Message Board for?
- This is the public message board for Fotolog members to share opinions, questions, ideas, interesting articles and to help each other to get more out of their Fotolog experience.
- Since this is a public forum you should refrain from posting private information about your account or the account(s) of fellow Fotolog members.
- Make sure that the issue you have is likely to be affecting the entire Fotolog community. Any posts about individual account matters will not be considered.

3. IT IS OBLIGATORY THAT MEMBERS WRITE THEIR ACCOUNT NAMES IN THEIR POSTS. ANY POSTS WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. FOR TECHNICAL PROBLEMS PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR USER NAME, YOUR ISP AND THE NAME AND VERSION OF YOUR BROWSER.
BEHAVIOR
Always respect others in this board, disrespectful and offensive comments will not be tolerated.
If you suspect that a member just wants to bully others do not waste your time with it. Try to ignore this person instead and go have fun with your Fotolog account or help other members who really need and appreciate your assistance. .
ON BANNING MEMBERS
Even though banning members is rare and we do not like to do so, it is possible to happen in case a member does not give us any other option. Members are given many chances to behave well and help others but if they still behave in a disrespectful manner they can be banned from the board and have their Fotolog accounts deactivated permanently.
WHO IS WHO?
If you wish to know who is helping you just check the user status. To do so click on the topic and look in the left column under the username and you’ll find the denomination that must be one of the following:
Member – regular user
Fotolog Group Admin – group admins
Fotolog Volunteer Admin – volunteer admins
Fotolog Staff – official admins, members of the NY team
We hope these rules are clear enough and that every member understands and follows them, so we can make of this an enjoyable place.
