  • Gallery Rules

    These Gallery Rules form part of the Terms and Conditions for your use of this site.

    The gallery is provided as part of the BN Community to provide a space for members to share photos which will be of interest to others and enrich our experience of naturism.

    Restrictions on gallery content apply equally to images posted elsewhere including forum posts, status updates, blogs or any other submissions.

    Please take a moment to read these simple rules before posting your images.

    All gallery submissions are subject to prior Moderator approval and the Moderator(s) decision is final.

    Content

    • Please do not post any images which you know to be defamatory, misrepresentative, invasive of a person's privacy, threatening or which amount to bullying or harassment.
    • The following types of image are not acceptable:
      • Images which violate any law. Illegal images will be reported to the appropriate authorities and provided as evidence.
      • Images which focus on the genitalia, poses where the main aim appears to be to display the genitalia (e.g. full-frontal open legs shots), sex acts, erections.
      • Photos of people in bed or engaged in personal hygiene routines (e.g. shaving, showering, bathing, etc.).
      • Photos of performing trivial domestic chores (e.g. doing the washing up, emptying the tumble drier, etc.). Depictions of social events (e.g. hosting a dinner party, cooking a barbecue, etc) are fine.
      • Headless shots or pictures where the face is deliberately obscured. This does not preclude rear-view shots where the context demands it.
    • The context and narrative make a dull image inspirational. Please take a few moments to give your photos a text title and description so that visitors know what the picture is and why you have posted it. Photos without a text title and an explanatory comment will not be accepted. (Official photos of events will be grouped under the event title but may not be individually named to expediate release).
    • If you have lists of similar photos, then please post just one or two which best represent the whole. Repetitive images will not be accepted.
    • Photos must be of good, but not necessarily professional, quality. Grainy or indistinct pictures will not be accepted. Selfies and mirror shots are acceptable but please do consider the backdrop to the picture.

    Copyright

    Only post images for which you have copyright or express right to publish in this medium.  By making the post you accept that you are responsible for any infringement of copyright or associated law.

    Permissions

    Please ensure that any recognisable individuals in your photo have given their full permission for it to be posted on these forums. Please indicate that this has been done by putting “permissions given” in the image description or “Credit” box on the image. In the absence of a signed release form, make sure any subject contained in it is able to view the photo. Furthermore, should any subject withdraw their permission, you agree to notify a moderator immediately so the image can be removed without delay.

    Images of Minors

    British Naturism works closely with the NSPCC and enjoys their continued support in safeguarding children in the context of naturism. Protecting our children from exploitation, either deliberate or accidental is central to our safeguarding policy.

    No images of minors (individuals under the age of 18), regardless of the state of dress, may be posted without completion of appropriate paperwork and compliance with additional guidelines. Please email general.secretary@bn.org.uk in advance of submitting any images featuring minors.

    Any distribution of indecent images of children, or soliciting of such images through any part of the website, including private messaging or chat, will be reported to the appropriate authorities.

    Comments

    You may comment on photos that members have posted but please keep these respectful, free from sexual innuendo or any salacious remarks.

    Posting Images Outside of the Gallery

    We are keen to allow people to include images in forum posts, blogs and status updates when they significantly enhance the text. Because these areas are not subject to prior moderation, we rely on members to exercise common sense. Please bear in mind the following:

    • Images must comply with gallery rules regarding content.
    • If images feature an identifiable person, a statement that permission was given is required.
    • Images should significantly enhance the text they are associated with; if you just want to share a photograph it is better submitted to the gallery where people can find it.
    • Images in posts are resized so that people browsing on low bandwidth do not have their ability to use the forum compromised by large file sizes.

    Moderators will remove, without consultation, any images that they consider do not comply with this guidance. If you are unsure, you should submit the image to the gallery and then insert a link to the gallery image in your post. Please do not use non-gallery posts as a way to avoid pre-moderation.  Repeated breaches of these guidelines will lead to all of the posts for that individual being placed under pre-moderation. The forum should be fun, inspirational and challenging – we need everybody to work together to achieve that.

    Downloading or Copying of Images

    Please do not download or make copies of any images from the British Naturism website. The two exceptions to this are:

    • Content in the downloads section such as the British Naturism magazine and promotional fliers.
    • Images from events where you are the subject of the image, for personal use as a souvenir of the event.

    Regardless of who is featured, distribution of any image for pornographic purposes would be considered a serious disciplinary matter.

    Actions

    • Individuals cannot create new albums except within the members' gallery area. If you have an idea for a new shared album then please send it to support@bn.org.uk.
    • If you are concerned that an album or photo does not comply with these rules then please report it to the moderators using the report button below each image.
    • Photos which do not comply with these rules will not be accepted.
    • Any individual who repeatedly fails to comply with the rules may have their access to the community restricted and/or be subject to disciplinary procedures.

    Questions?

    If you have any comments or questions regarding the gallery please email general.secretary@bn.org.uk
