We want E4.com to be the funnest website on Earth. But there are a lot of nutters out there, who may want to spoil your fun. So, like all good communities, we need wise old duffers to wear wigs, wave scrolls and keep order by thumping on desks. We must respect these wise elders. They are as Jedi, and wizards, and Chelsea pensioners.
Please read the E4.com terms and conditions and have a peek at these handy do’s and don’ts:
Ho ho ho! I thought you were a fluffy teenage girl and it turns out you’re a beefy ex-con in a dress. Hilarious. Beware of strangers who ask to meet you under false pretences (and false beards). And don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.
Look, it's best to keep the people you meet online at arm's length, anyway. They inevitably have bad breath. So don't post even cryptic details about your home or work address, your telephone number, email address or Instant Messenger name.
Just ask yourself: "Would I be comfortable showing this to my granny and my boss, in a vicarage, taking tea with Mother Theresa, Mahatma Ghandi and the Dalai Lama?" If the answer is no, don’t upload it! The same goes for violence, dangerous or illegal acts.
Unless you actually are Kanye West, diggin’ through some E4.com action, don't post stuff with his music on. And the same goes for every other performer out there, including clips from TV and film. Basically, if your video doesn’t contain 100% original content, it’s gonna be deleted and you may be banned from the site.
That may be the best picture of a granny falling off a stairlift - but don't forget to get the old dear's permission before sharing it with the world. Similarly, this isn't a place for naming or shaming anyone other than yourself. And don't tell lies. Every time you do, a puppy dies, you know.
Many of our pages feature a ‘report’ button. If something on the page is inappropriate in some way, click the button and tell us why. Don’t overuse this feature though and only report if you feel it really necessary.

There's always someone who has a scam to relieve you of your hard-earned cash. E4.com will never contact you to request your bank account info or any other personal information. Anyone who does so is probably "phishing". Don't hand over your password or other personal details to anyone and make sure your password is unique and difficult for a scammer like this guy to guess.
Yeah, we're not big on bullying, harassment and prejudice 'round these parts. Inappropriate behaviour will be found and you will be warned and potentially banned from the site. Lively comments and debate is fine, but insults, threats, wild accusations and downright lies are not. Repeat offenders will be banned - as in "cya l8r h8r".
Ha! Not really. Just joshing to see if you’d read down this far. E4.com is a place where you can work with us to create some cracking entertainment. So help keep E4.com a fun-filled place and we'll all just be the best bleedin' mates ever, right? Right.
