Usernames at fotocommunity

Your user-name at fotocommunity is created by the entries you made in the registration form after subscribing at fotocommunity / opening your account.

Due to some technical (see special characters) and copyright issues we can't allow several usernames:

You're not allowed to have

• special characters (any) in the front of your usernames first- or lastname

• more than one special character within usernames

• "< >", "[ ]", "+", "|" (pipe-character), "{}", "'" and ";" anywhere in your user-name (doesn't matter if they are in front or not).

• email-addresses as a user-name

• web-addresses as user-name

• brand-names as a user-name

• names of copyright protected products

• the names of people from contemporary history

• the names of celebrities

• names of literary, movie or comic characters

It's also not allowed to use your profession as a username. There are lots of people who use fotocommunity for advertisement. For reasons to find them in an easy way only models are allowed to have "model" in their user-names.

Add in regarding names (historical persons, celebreties as well as literary, movie and comic characters):

Well it might be that you really have a name such as "Michael Jordan, Bruce Springsteen or Bruce Wayne". In that case we can of course accept it as a user-name after you send us a copy of a picture-id (via e-mail).

Please be aware that we might change your username on our own to make it compatible with these regulations!
