In reply to the discussion: 'Don't Be That Guy' ad campaign cuts Vancouver sex assaults by 10 per cent in 2011 [View all]fishiefish
(23 posts)39. Do me a favor and specifically tell me what flickr means here in their TOS
When they say, "Don't be that guy" Because I really have no idea. Must be some Vancouver thing, because the creators of flickr are also from Vancouver. I really don't know who "that guy" is.
Flickr accounts are intended for members to share original photos and video that they themselves have created.
The following Community Guidelines are here to help you understand what it means to be a member of Flickr. Don't forget that your use of Flickr is subject to these Guidelines and our Terms of Service.
What to do
Do play nice.
We're a global community of many types of people, who all have the right to feel comfortable and who may not think what you think, believe what you believe or see what you see. So, be polite and respectful in your interactions with other members.
Do upload content that you've created.
Respect the copyright of others. This means don't steal photos or videos that other people have shared and pass them off as your own. (Thats what favorites are for.)
Do moderate your content.
All content on Flickr, public and private, has to be appropriately moderated as safe, moderate, or restricted using our safety and content filters. If your judgment proves to be poor, well moderate your account to match appropriate ratings for safe search and/or content type and send you a warning.
Do link back to Flickr when you post your Flickr content elsewhere.
Flickr makes it possible to post content hosted on Flickr to other web sites. However, pages on other web sites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr. This provides a way to get more information about the content and the photographer.
Do enjoy Flickr!
See the world through others eyes, participate, find your muse, and expand your horizons!
What not to do
Heres the deal: We like to give second chances. However, stepping across any of the lines listed below may result in account deletion with or without warning.
Dont upload anything that isn't yours.
This includes other people's photos, video, and/or stuff you've copied or collected from around the Internet. Accounts that consist primarily of such collections may be deleted at any time.
Dont forget the children.
If you would hesitate to show your photos or videos to a child, your mum, or Uncle Bob, that means you need to set the appropriate content filter setting. If you dont, your account will be moderated and possibly deleted by Flickr staff.
Dont show nudity in your buddy icon.
Only content considered "safe" is appropriate for your buddy icon. If we find that you've uploaded a buddy icon that contains inappropriate content, we'll remove the buddy icon, mark your account as restricted and send you a warning. If we find you doing it again, well delete your account.
Dont upload content that is illegal or prohibited.
If we find you doing that, your account will be deleted and we'll take appropriate action, which may include reporting you to the authorities.
Dont vent your frustrations, rant, or bore the brains out of other members.
Flickr is not a venue for you to harass, abuse, impersonate, or intimidate others. If we receive a valid complaint about your conduct, well send you a warning or delete your account.
Dont be creepy.
You know the guy. Don't be that guy.

OP
I like that a lot better than that snarky 10-point poster that keeps popping up here.

it's certainly mild enough to offend men less, shying away from using the word rape

"Don't be that guy" is a phrase in standard usage. "Don't be a rapist" is not.

It means that they don't want anybody to "harass, abuse, impersonate, or intimidate others."

Incorrect. "That" guy = a certain type of guy/a member of a particular subset of guys.
