When TTG-ready publishers have problems
with the submitted name or Unique Online Identity (UOI):
-
If the TTG-RP has any objections, of any kind, to the name or the UOI being used to back up the TTG label...
. . . the TTG-RP has the right to tell the submitting photographer that the TTG-RP will not publish the photograph with the submitted name or UOI (and thus will not publish it with the TTG label).
-
The photographer can then choose between:
1. changing the name/UOI to something that the TTG-RP finds acceptable; or
2. consenting to publication of the photograph without the TTG label and without the photographer’s name/UOI (should that solution be acceptable to the TTG-RP); or
3. electing to not have the photograph published at all.
-
What kinds of things would be problematic?
• A name that is judged to be excessively long (since URLs can be hundreds of characters long, TTG-RPs may want to set maximum character lengths for names and UOIs)
• Any name or UOI that might lead viewers to infer that the photograph was made by a different photographer (famous or otherwise) — or by a different entity — than the photographer who is responsible for the photograph
• Any name or UOI that contains words or phrases that the TTG-RP deems offensive, inappropriate, confusing, misleading, deceptive, or overtly political
