Community Guidelines

Version 2026-10-19.1 · Effective 2026-10-19
LensScape is for photographers sharing places and light. Breaking these rules can get your content removed and your account limited, suspended or banned. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users.

Post only what's yours

•
Post only photos you took and have the right to share. Do not post screenshots of other people's photos, Google Maps photos or stock images.
•
Get consent from people who can be identified in your photo. For minors, get a parent's or guardian's consent. Respect people who ask you to take a photo down.

Never allowed

•
Nudity, sexual content or sexual solicitation. Any sexualization of minors is reported to the authorities.
•
Harassment, bullying, threats, doxxing, or posting someone's private address, phone number or live location.
•
Hate speech or attacks based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age or serious illness.
•
Violence, gore, self-harm or suicide promotion, or dangerous challenges.
•
Encouraging or showing trespassing, entering closed or restricted areas, breaking park, heritage or cultural-site rules, disturbing wildlife or nesting sites, damaging sites, or flying drones illegally (for example in restricted airspace, over crowds or in national parks where banned).
•
Illegal activity, weapons sales, drugs, scams, spam, fake engagement, impersonation, or posting links to malware.
•
Misleading spot info. If access, hours, permits or safety are uncertain, say so. Do not post private homes as "spots".
•
Commercial advertising without our permission (studios may list through the studio flow).

Be kind in comments

Disagree respectfully. No slurs, sexual remarks, or pile-ons. Spot owners and photographers can limit comments to followers.

Safety and privacy

•
Shots are pinned to the spot, not to where you stood. Don't reveal sensitive locations, such as rare wildlife, fragile sites or private property.
•
Don't share trips that reveal your home or where you are right now.

Report, block, mute

•
Report: tap ••• → Report on any Shot, comment, profile or shared trip. Pick a reason (spam, nudity, harassment, hate, violence, self-harm, minor safety, IP/copyright, trespass/danger, other). Reports are confidential.
•
Block: stops a user seeing or contacting you, and removes follows both ways. Mute hides someone's posts from your feed silently.
•
Content may be hidden automatically after several reports (or one report for child safety or self-harm) until we review it. We aim to act on child-safety and self-harm reports within 24 hours and on other reports within 72 hours.
•
Imminent danger? Contact local emergency services first.

Enforcement

We may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts or ban them permanently, including all accounts belonging to the same person. Serious violations, such as child safety, credible threats or sexual content, lead to an immediate ban. To appeal, email support@lensscapeapp.com with the subject "Appeal".
