You Should

Be supportive
Should Do This is a site about ideas. The site has been created with a constructive intent and we ask that you help further that intention. Cheer on someone you admire or share words of encouragement.

Be respectful
Should Do This is a community of many types of people who may not think what you think, believe what you believe or share your ideas. Engage in polite dicussion, constructive criticism and respectful disagreement with other members.

Go public with your ideas
Should Do This is a public site. You should post on Should Do This and interact with others knowing that it’s all going down in public. If you use your real name that will be picked up by search engines and folks will be able to find it. Sharing your ideas with the world can be liberating. But use a pseudonym if you aren’t ready to broadcast your identity and your ideas at the same time.

Keep it clean
Should Do This is not an “adult” site or a site where anything goes. You must be 13 years or older to use the site and any content you add to the site ought to be “safe for work”. That is, if your boss came by and saw what you were doing she might be curious about why you were doing this during work, but not in fear for your mortal soul. Worse than posting porn is posting information that can lead to others being harmed. It is not OK to post harmful ideas or content which is hateful.

Enjoy Should Do This!
Should Do This is an awesome community of ideas . Enjoy your time here, make friends and make things happen.

You Should Not

Upload content that isn’t yours
Respect the copyright of others. This means using your own content or content in the public domain for your entries and images.

Spam the site
Commercial content that is not germane to an idea, or commercial content that is repeatedly posted are examples of spam. If you sell or promote products, services or yourself through your Should Do This page, we will suspend your account.

Be Creepy
Offering unwanted advances is not OK. Posting suggestive or inappropriate photos is clearly creepy. Don’t do it. Posting photos that include frontal nudity, genitalia and/or “intimate moments” are not welcome. This applies to your profile photo as well as entry photos. Users will report these photos and they will be removed. Users may also report accounts posting graphic nudity and your account will automatically be suspended without warning.

Reporting Violations

Users monitor Should Do This
The Robot Co-op does not actively seek out violations of our terms of service. We rely on our awesome users to report inappropriate, commercial, illegal or abusive activities. We need your help. Your two best tools are the report this user link on every profile page and the flag this photo as inappropriate link you see after you click on any picture.

Reporting spam, commercial use, abuse, copyright infringement
If you run across spam, blatant commercial use, abusive behavior, harmful advice, copyright infringement or other objectionable things, don’t panic. If it’s a light offense you may help the user out by commenting and educating them that the content violates these community guidelines. If that doesn’t work please use the report this user link located on every user’s profile page.

Blocking users
If you have come into contact with a user you no longer want to interact with (but you don’t think they should be suspended from the site) go to the user’s page and click report this user then select they’re harassing me (I want to block them).
