Busphoto Club Registration & Usage Guidelines

1. Registration Rules

  • Create one account only. Multiple accounts lead to permanent bans.
  • Complete at least one action within 30 days of registration: comment, upload a photo, or submit a database correction. Inactivity = automatic deactivation.
  • Use a valid email address. Account details (Login, IP, Device ID) are private but accessible to admins.

2. Photo Upload Standards

  • Size Requirements: Minimum 1200x800px (ideal: 1400x930px), max 800KB. Historical exceptions: 800x500px+ for rare vehicles.
  • No watermarks, logos, or political symbols. Heavily edited, blurry, small photos are not for here.
  • Photos must focus on buses/coaches. Infrastructure allowed only in designated galleries.

3. Community Conduct

  • No hate speech, discrimination, spam, or political debates.
  • Criticizing photography style/equipment is banned. Focus on buses, not gear!
  • Use English or Russian for public communication. Local languages require translation.

4. Intellectual Property

  • You retain photo ownership but grant Busphoto Club a non-exclusive license for non-commercial use (social media previews, partner sites).
  • Request photo removal if licensing terms change (e.g., commercial use).

5. Database Rules

  • Every new database entry requires a photo. No photo = no entry.
  • Submit corrections via the fleetlist change form. Aggressive complaints (e.g., "database is a mess") lead to restrictions.

6. Account Management

  • Violations reduce your trust score. Repeated issues lead to restrictions or bans.
  • Warnings expire over time but are permanently recorded. Appeals for bans are not allowed.

7. Support & Contact

  • Use the Support Request System for reporting technical issues, complaints or account changes.
  • Off-topic requests will be ignored.

By registering, you agree to these terms. Full rules: Busphoto Club Rules.
