On March 31, 2023, we updated our Community Guidelines to make them more evergreen.
Previously, Flickr’s community guidelines were a list of do’s and don’ts with minimal information about what type of interactions Flickr is for.
With this update, we’ve done a complete refresh of the language and focused on adding more information about Flickr’s principles: inspiration, connection, and sharing. Most importantly, we explain how members should interact with one another in this wonderful community of ours.
Another significant addition is the new “Give some grace” guideline, applicable to Flickr members using Creative Commons licenses, asking licensors to give good-faith reusers a 30-day grace period to correct any possible error with no penalty. This change was introduced to prevent the malpractice of so-called copyright trolls using the threat of litigation to generate income.
The edits we’ve made don’t change what Flickr is. Our policies–including our commercial activity policy–remain the same.
