Community Guidelines

We will moderate most of the Look OK… Feel Crap? community content, but the following guidelines are here to help you get the most out of the site. Your use of the site is subject to these guidelines and our terms of use.  Please also be aware of our privacy policy. 

Guidelines:

  1. Do join in and have fun: A community isn’t a community if people don’t chat, share and get involved. Look OK… Feel Crap? is a great place to meet new people, share ideas, get advice, admire and enjoy each others’ goals, photos, quotes, stories etc. 
  2. Be nice: We are, after all, a community. Please use the forums for healthy discussion, to share ideas and to exchange opinions. But be polite and respectful when you do so. Don’t insult, harass, or threaten/intimidate others, or behave in any way that would cause distress. Venting your frustrations and ranting isn’t appropriate. If you think that a post within the Forum is offensive in any way, please ‘report the post’. Equally if anybody harasses or bullies you or makes you feel uncomfortable either in the chatroom or by private message (PM), PM the chat facilitator (who will have @LOFC after their name) or ignore them (instructions under using chat).
  3. Only upload content that is yours: This means don't steal content or photos that belong to other people or that you’ve gathered from around the internet or magazines and pass them off as your own. 
  4. Do link back to Look OK… Feel Crap? from other sites: The site makes it possible to share content from and to outside web sites such as Facebook. 
  5. Be safe: It’s very important to us that you feel safe to talk about how you are feeling and problems in your life. Here are some tips on staying safe in the community and online in general.
  6. You are responsible for the safety of yourself and your personal information. Most people are who they say they are, but you can never be 100% certain online and neither can we. We recommend you take care online by using a nickname, and don’t give out any identifying details such as:

(a) Where you live. The area and city or town where you live is OK but it’s not a good
idea to give more than that.

(b) Details of where you work or study. It’s fine to say where you study or work but we’d
recommend you don’t give much more detail than that.

(c) Explicit details of where you will be socialising and when. Saying you like to go to a
particular bar is fine, but not that you’ll be there at 7pm on Thursday.

(d) Details about your family.

(e) We don’t recommend you give out any contact details but if you want to give your
email address, set up an address that doesn’t identify you.

(f) Remember that what you write on the forum and in the community (apart from chat)
is public.  Any posts or comments that give too much personal information may be
deleted. Don’t upload content that is illegal or offensive: Be responsible about the content
   you upload. You need to ensure that what you upload is appropriate, legal, relevant and
  inoffensive.

  1. Don’t use the site for commercial purposes: Look OK… Feel Crap? is for personal use only. Our site and forums are not to be used as a channel for marketing or selling to others and messages from businesses or organisations are not permitted.
