World Wide Open is a safe, community-based website, which means that we will be able to collaborate, contribute, learn and work together. It also means we are all responsible for taking care of the community. The internet can be a great place for users of all ages as long as they are safe and exercise a bit of common sense.
We, as the community, do not allow content of any form (text, audio, video, photo) that is hateful, pornographic, libelous, slandering or commercial in nature. The full list of what’s not OK is here. We use the latest filtering technologies to prohibit inappropriate language, pictures and content and we have an editorial staff that responds quickly to community issues. But technology can only do so much–the real power lies in the community’s ability to police itself and create a safe space for connections, discussion and collaboration. If you happen to see something offensive on the site:
1. Take action. On each page of the website there will be a button called “Mark as Inappropriate”, click that button, and we’ll review it in light of the community rules and, if necessary, remove it immediately.
2. Take ownership of the site. Respond to the inappropriate content by posting a comment and letting the author know that the community doesn’t approve.
If you ever have an issue with the safety or privacy of this community, please click here and fill out the contact form.
