*Family Member Picture Privacy Policy*

[Blu]

I guess I'll point this out in case anyone missed it. I'm being nice by saying this again. We don't have to give a verbal warning for breaking the following policy. In fact, the policy if automatic warning, so if you get a verbal warning instead, you are lucky. Please take that in consideration before you break the following policy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT:

Family Member Picture Privacy Policy: Please do not post pictures of any of Green Day’s family members/girlfriends unless they are official publicity photos. This means no paparazzi photos and no personal photos. Even if one of the guys is in the paparazzi or personal photos, they are not allowed. If the photos are not taken explicitly for the public and approved by the band for the public, they cannot be posted in the picture threads or used on the forum in any form. Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre are fairly private people. We need to respect their privacy and the privacy of their family members. This forum is dedicated to Green Day, not their families. Pictures of their kids/girlfriends/wives/brothers/sisters/parents/etc should not be posted all over the place. Please do not exploit the band.

Exception to Family Member Picture Privacy Policy: If the family member or girlfriend is involved in an event or the band has given permission to post the specific picture(s) of the person, they may be posted on the forum. BUT, they can only be posted in appropriate threads. The picture(s) cannot be posted at random in the thread for the band member the family member is related to if they do not have that band member with them.

Example: A picture of Adrienne alone cannot be posted in Billie’s thread. If the picture was taken for an Adeline Street event, the picture may be posted in the news thread for that event, if there is one. If someone is looking for that specific picture at some point and requests it in the Picture Request Thread, the picture may be posted in there.

Requests for personal or paparazzi pictures (non-publicity pictures) of their kids, girlfriends, wives, brothers, sisters, parents, etc may not be made.

If you break this policy, you will receive a warning. This is your verbal warning on the matter.

This means no posting pictures from their family members' Facebooks or other sites you might get personal family photos from. If the photo does not come from a public event or something else the band has approved, don't post it.

I'm going to bluntly point out this out and I don't mean to offend anyone here who runs the site, but we've had to delete almost every picture that's been posted from the "Armstrongs Fotolog". Almost every picture from that fotolog that's been posted here has broken this policy and we've had to remove it. I really don't want to hurt anyone here who runs that site, I'm just saying that if someone posts pictures from that site, they need to be careful in what they choose to post because if they are not careful, they will receive a warning and the post will be deleted or edited.

If you are unsure if you can post something, send a PM to me, Andres, or someone else on the moderating staff.

As a side reminder, please remember that you CANNOT quote img tags. Quoting img tags will result in warnings.
