QUESTIONS & ANSWERS


Q: Where is the more detailed version of the rules?

A: Detail rules, guidelines, terms & conditions are on the Media Content page.

Q: Why so many rules? I thought you were a "free speech" guy?

A: The Telegram feeds need firm guardrails in order to keep the entire thing from turning into a mess. Not at all interested in the Worldwide Sleigh Ride resembling a typical internet forum. This is not Twidder, or Facecrook or Instasick. Having said that, the WSR outreach social media platforms will have less strict enforcement.

Q: Why do you need the rules against soundtracks?

A: Too many copyright violations. There is no staff right now to police the issue. In future seasons maybe this rule will be relaxed.

Q: Can I play a Shag Evans song for my Musician Content posting?

A: Absolutely. Just read the Accepted Use first.
