What are Acceptable Profile Pictures?


The following are the guidelines of acceptable content for official Profile images. All images uploaded to your Profile on Nexopia.com must follow these rules.

If you find an image that has slipped past our moderators please click Report Abuse at the top of the offending profile and let us know.

These rules apply to both images and descriptions!

THE PICTURE MUST BE OF YOU!


Any picture that you upload must have you in it:

  • You must be recognizable and have a clear portion of your body in the picture.
  • This includes your head and or most of your torso, (shoulders to hips).
  • No extreme close ups, this includes eyes/lips/hands/feet/tattoo/etc. because we can't tell who it is.
  • Pictures of your friends, pets, cars, or whatever should have you in them as well, with a clear portion as described above.
  • The picture should be of you within the last few years, no baby pictures.
NO PERSONAL INFORMATION


We at Nexopia are concerned for your safety and therefore no pictures with personal information are allowed:

  • No school IDs, or drivers licenses.
  • No last names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc.
  • Email address's and first names are fine.
NO FAKE PICTURES


Pictures of other people of celebrities are not allowed:

  • Any pictures that are not of you are not allowed.
  • Celebrity pictures are obviously not of you unless you are actually in the picture with them.
  • Pictures of common fakes are not acceptable and may result in losing your account.
OTHER SITES TAGS


You are not allowed to upload pictures that have been saved off other sites:

  • Other websites tag their pictures like we do here at Nexopia, uploading these is not permitted.
NO HEAVY EDITING


We like you to express your own style by editing your photos.
Sometimes a photo can be edited too much and you aren't really visible.

  • Any inverted/negative pictures will be denied.
  • Over exposures can sometimes block out your face.
NO NUDITY


Nudity includes but IS NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Pictures of naked breasts, butt, or genitals or censoring these with any object other than clothing.
  • Any see-through clothing or inappropriate bathing suits, including thongs.
  • Any excessively small amount of clothing. This is left to moderator judgement.
  • Cartoons or drawings of the above will be treated as nudity.
NO VIOLENCE


Violent pictures include but ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

  • Images that depicts a violent act (curb-stomping for example) are not permitted.
  • Pictures of injuries as a result of violence are not permitted (ie, someone bleeding all over after falling down).
NO DRUGS

No illegal substances.

NO WEAPONS


Weapons are a tricky rule so read them carefully:

  • Staffs and martial arts weapons are ok as long as they are being used in strict martial arts context (someone at a tournament or in a Karate uniform).
  • Guns are absolutely not permitted, unless they are:
    • Clearly fake guns should be ok if that have an orange tip that is typical of all toy guns.
    • Water guns are fine if they include a big plastic bulb or very bright colours.
    • Paintball guns are acceptable if they are easy to distinguish from real guns.
      Either the hopper or CO2 canister must be visible.
  • Guns employed by a Police Office or someone in the Army are ok as long as they are not being held in a threatening way (ie. pointing at someone).
  • Hunters or someone at a shooting range should be fine unless they are pointing their weapon at someone or something other than a fake target. The target must be visible in the picture.
NO GROSS STUFF


What one person thinks is funny will offend someone else.
The following is a short but limited list of things not to upload:

  • No blood, guts, puke, urine, or other bodily fluids, etc.

Nobody cares to see the huge dump your friend took, the results of your horrid wipeout, or how sick you got once at a party. So keep these off of Nexopia.

NO RACISM/DISCRIMINATION/ETC


If you think something might offend another person you shouldn't upload it.
Some examples are:

  • Any images that may offend any race, religion, or sexuality are not permitted.
  • Anything that promotes hate towards another group is not permitted. This includes things like flying a swastika or dressed as a KKK member.
NO HARASSING OTHER USERS!!!


Not everybody gets along but that doesn't mean you can make fun of them on Nexopia.
This rule is largely up to Administrator discretion:

  • Pictures of other users that you do not have permission to upload will be removed by mods.
  • Any degrading or hateful pictures of another user is not acceptable.
    This includes drawing on pictures to make someone look bad.
