Community content

COMMUNITY CONTENT POLICY

Sharing content with other Eyby members - either via community channels, product reviews, or groups - is a great way to help build the Eyby community, and is something we encourage all our users to do.

Because community content is visible to all our users, and we want to keep our platform a safe and respectful place for all, we do have some rules and guidelines about the type of content that can be shared. Content also needs to comply with our Eyby User Agreement. Please see our full policy guidelines below for more details.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I write about products I sell on my own website?

No, you can't promote or advertise products that aren't being sold on Eyby or another Eyby property in your community content.

 

What can I do about a member who's using profanity?

You can report violations by selecting the Report link. Keep in mind that it's not against our policy to include profanity that's part of a product title, as cited in threat and offensive language policy.

 

Full Policy Overview

We offer a wide variety of forums where the Eyby community can provide content, including Reviews, Guides, member-created products and product descriptions, comments and more. This gives you access to factual information, personal opinions, and guidance on various topics and allows you to publish your opinions and content on our site.

Community content published or edited by our members is solely the opinion and responsibility of the persons posting the content. All content and behavior in posting or receiving such content must comply with the Eyby User Agreement, this policy, and other site policies. To the extent that the Community Content policy conflicts with the Eyby User Agreement, you must comply with the Eyby User Agreement instead of this policy. We also have policies about posting product reviews, content on our Discussion boards, and Groups.

Activity on Eyby is required to follow this policy, the Eyby User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, Eyby may take action consistent with applicable laws and the Eyby User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.

Creating a Product

If you don't see a product in our catalog that's a match for the item you're trying to list, you can create a new product or suggest edits to an existing product in the catalog. When creating or editing a product, the information you provide must follow all of our other site policies unless specifically stated otherwise. All of the information you provide in a product must directly describe that item, and shouldn't be about individual sellers, business, or transactions.

 

What are the guidelines?

Allowed in some situations

• Using profanity or vulgar language in a public area of the site is not allowed. However, when reviewing a product where the title contains a profane or vulgar term, the reviewer may use the term, but only in the context of the title.
