What kind of content can I post on drbblr?
You are able to post all kinds of things on drbblr, including photographs, messages and other content (“Content”).
There are some rules about what is acceptable though, so when you are using drbblr you may not post or send any Content which:
- contains expletives or language which could be deemed offensive or is likely to harass, upset, embarrass, alarm or annoy any other person;
- is obscene, pornographic or otherwise may offend human dignity;
- is abusive, insulting or threatening, or which promotes or encourages racism, sexism, hatred or bigotry;
- encourages any illegal activity including, without limitation, terrorism, inciting racial hatred or the submission of which in itself constitutes committing a criminal offence;
- is defamatory;
- relates to commercial activities (including, without limitation, sales, competitions and advertising, links to other websites or premium line telephone numbers);
- involves the transmission of “junk” mail or “spam”;
- contains any spy ware, adware, viruses, corrupt files, worm programmes or other malicious code designed to interrupt, damage or limit the functionality of or disrupt any software, hardware, telecommunications, networks, servers or other equipment, Trojan horse or any other material designed to damage, interfere with, wrongly intercept or expropriate any data or personal information whether from drbblr or otherwise; or
- itself, or the posting of which, infringes any third party’s rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property rights and privacy rights).
Please use your common sense when picking the Content that you choose to post on or send via drbblr because you are solely responsible for, and bear all liability in relation to, such Content.
Are there any rules relating to personal information?
You may not display any personal contact or banking information on your individual profile (“Profile”) whether in relation to you or any other person (for example, home addresses or postcodes, telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, credit/debit card or other banking details). If you do choose to reveal any personal information about yourself to other users, whether via chat, email or otherwise, it is at your own risk.

Can I tell my friends my password and let them log on as me?
The short answer is no. Only you are authorised to access your account with drbblr.
