Flickr’s new Community Guidelines
Nick Starr | February 10, 2006
Flickr released their Community Guidelines yesterday which they have been talking about for some time now.  Simply put it says: play nice, don’t steal images and porn is not welcome.
The Don’t section is about the same information that is in the Yahoo! Terms of Service , but told in a easier to read format. Here are some points I find notable:
Do: Link back to Flickr when you post your photos elsewhere
The Flickr service makes it possible to post images hosted on Flickr to outside websites. However, pages on other websites that display images hosted on flickr.com must provide a link back to Flickr from each photo to its photo page on Flickr. (FlickrLicio.us ALWAYS makes sure to do this, even in the Mobile version of FlickrLicio.us).
Don’t: Sell stuff (including yourself)
Flickr is for personal use only. If you sell products or services through your photostream, we will terminate your account. (All ads, even Google ads have been removed from FlickrLicio.us)
Don’t: Upload photos that include frontal nudity, genitalia or anything else that your bathing suit should cover in public areas of Flickr
If you do we’ll make your photostream private and remind you of this Guideline. If you don’t heed our warning and continue to make similar content public, we’ll terminate your account without warning. This applies to your Buddy Icon as well. (I personally don’t upload nudity, FlickrLicio.us only find others who have uploaded and allowed me to see their private account. You can still blog private pages, if the person allows you to.)
So it looks like FlickrLicio.us is striving to make sure that we fall in lines with the Flickr new Community Guidelines, as well as the TOS.

I think Flickr should have some sort of revenue sharing.
Joe Anderson | February 10, 2006I think Flickr should have some sort of revenue sharing. Perhaps give users 50% of ad revenue made on their photos?
