INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Production Lot, EP's Production Community (the “Community”)! Here you’ll find a growing community of users, peers, and experts working in and around the entertainment industry. Our objective in providing users with access to the Community is to encourage conversations that are informative and valuable for the production industry. In doing so, we ask that all users follow the Principles below when contributing to the Community:

• Be Responsible: You are responsible for all activity associated with your account. Please be mindful of other’s intellectual property, privacy and other rights when contributing to the Community.
• Be Helpful: We expect our users to initiate conversations and contribute perspectives that would positively impact the production industry. 
• Be Respectful: You are entitled to your own opinion, but personal attacks or harassment against other Contributors will not be tolerated. Also, please respect and assist our moderators. These are real people going above and beyond to contribute to and promote the production industry.

COMMUNITY RULES

Below is a non-exhaustive list of things that could result in the removal of a post and/or a temporary or permanent ban of a user account. We reserve the right to remove anything we deem inappropriate.

• Spam: Zero tolerance. All spam will be deleted regardless of the source.
• Personal Attacks, Bullying and Harassment: Don’t attack, threaten, intimidate, shame, disparage or insult another user. It’s not helpful and is not aligned with the Community Principles.

• Illegal Activities: Posting links to illegal downloads, ways to steal service, and other illegal activity is not permitted. Users agree to comply with all local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content.
• Not Safe For Work Material: Not allowed. Even images or links that could be considered borderline are not acceptable.
• Racist, Sexist or other Discriminatory Material: Not acceptable and will likely result in a ban.
• Spreading Misinformation: The Community is not a place to spread conspiracy theories and misinformation, and we will remove posts promoting obvious falsehoods.
• Multiple or Misleading Accounts: We don’t allow multiple accounts per user, including any accounts that impersonate or misrepresent their affiliation with any person or organization.
• Fake Profiles or Falsified Information: We do not allow fake profiles or entities. Do not post misleading or deceptive information about yourself, your qualifications, work experience, affiliations, or achievements. Do not use an image of someone else or any other image that is not your likeness, for your profile photo. 
• Threats of Violence: We don’t allow threatening or inciting violence of any kind. We don’t allow individuals or groups that engage in or promote violence, property damage, or organized criminal activity.
