This policy affects photos and videos posted on the Katy.com web site by our members. This policy attempts to maintain the Community atmosphere we work hard to maintain on the Katy.com site, so that all Katy-area residents find Katy.com is a friendly place to visit.


Photos and Videos posted on Katy.com should be PG or PG-13.
However, not all PG-13 pictures are acceptable on Katy.com.


Blood / Gore / Violence / Abuse:

Pictures that include gore, violence, serious injuries, or a large amount of blood should not be posted on the forums. This includes images of fake gore (Ex. - from a movie scene). Because you've personally taken the picture does not exclude this rule from applying, for example, do not post photos or videos of: your own injuries, or a bloody picture of an animal you found on the side of the road. This policy applies to both humans and animals. Photos or videos of dead animals should not be posted on the site (aside from obvious photos of traditional meat / food photos). Pictures should not include images of abuse (Ex. - spousal abuse, animal abuse). Depictions of sexual assault or rape will get your account banned. Images of drunk people or unconscious people or sleeping people with things drawn on them, should not be posted (abuse).


Gross Out:

No bodily fluids (including snot, urine, and others). No photos or videos of people using the restroom, even if content is obscured.
