Sony Community Guidelines

[SonicBoom]

Welcome to the Sony Online Community!  This is a place where you can get advice, discuss your experiences and share information with other customers and fans to get even more from your Sony products and services.  Remember that the opinions expressed in the Community do not necessarily represent Sony’s point of view.      

In order to keep it a friendly and informative place to be, please adhere to these guidelines in all your  Community interactions:

• Be a nice person.  Show courtesy and respect to everyone. Remember that community members come from a variety of backgrounds and experience, and it’s easy for the meaning behind posts to be misunderstood.  Be patient and helpful, not critical and negative. Racist, pornographic or otherwise hateful text, images, videos or links have no place in this community.

• Protect your and others’ privacy.   Be aware that what you post is viewable by the general public.  Protect yourself and others by never posting any confidential or personally-identifiable information such as your password, surname, address, phone number or credit card details. You get to decide what content you include in your Profile  and who can see it. Please familiarise yourself with ‘My Settings’.

• Obey the Law.  Don’t post anything that violates any law or appears to support any illegal activities, such as drug use, piracy, hacking, etc.

• Keep it relevant.  Ensure your posts contribute to the category/board you are in.  Spamming, solicitation, chain letters, and advertising are all inappropriate. Also, remember that you are addressing a community of your peers. You should not expect Sony employees to respond to your individual posts via this channel. If you would like to discuss something with Sony directly, please use these contact details.  

• Be original. Don’t copy and paste others’ original content to other places on the web without their permission.

The community is managed according to a fuller version of these guidelines, the Sony Terms and Conditions of Website Use.  If you break any of these guidelines, intentionally or by accident, moderators will either edit or remove your post.  Repeat offenders may be temporarily or permanently banned.

We reserve the right to manage and moderate the community as we see fit for the benefit of the community, and we reserve the right to amend the guidelines without prior notice.
