Our Content Moderation Guidelines will give you a breakdown of what is/isn't accepted on 500px.
In cases of violation, our Moderators will make an effort to reach out to you before suspending your account. Depending on the nature of the content you’re posting, your account may be subject to immediate suspension.
If you have been warned multiple times for the same violation, a permanent suspension may be placed on your account. Please be advised, we do not offer refunds on paid subscriptions that have been permanently suspended.
If you have received a warning, or your account is currently suspended, and you wish to provide additional information or context, please contact our team to discuss.
