(1) A public email address option means people will be allowed to send you emails through the system. However, your email address will not be revealed to them. The emails are simply forwarded. Your emails are completely private.

(2) You will be able to provide people with a direct URL to your portfolio. For instance you may set up your URL as: http://mystuff.photopoints.com where mystuff is a word picked by you.


(3) This does not apply to the first free month of premium membership.

(4) (For Area 3 only) An individual is only allowed to give each photographer a set number of ratings in a given time period. This is designed to prevent the excessive rewarding of any one photographer. This is also designed to keep the emphasis on the photos. If the rating limit is exceeded, the critic may still leave a comment with no rating.

(5) This feature allows a person to block critiques from a particular person. However, when that is done you will not be able to critique that person either.


(6) Some features of the My Friends List are only available to Premium Members. Please see the Announcement forum.
