While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.

This forum system uses cookies to store information on your local computer.

A. Any user can report a post to a moderator for review. All reports remain anonymous to the users. B. The moderator can issue a warning and notify the poster of the situation with a suggestion of how to correct it immediately. C. If the user does not comply, the moderator can close the topic (can still be read, but no more new posts can be made), issue another warning. The moderator can then decide to edit the post or prevent it from being viewed in the general forum. Some of these actions require further approval and all original posts and any actions are recorded for future reference. D. 5 warnings result in an automatic review for banning from the site. 10 results in an automatic ban. A banned user can request reinstatement.

Ok, that was the official stuff posted by request. But basically it serves a dual purpose to protect both the users and the moderators. It takes a panel of moderators to approve the permanent removal of any posts from the general forum, and all removed original posts are only moved and stored (never actually “deleted”). The moderators are not trying to modify the content of your posts…they’re just concerned with how it is written (no profanity, personal insults, racial or religious slurs, etc.). Also, modifying a post is a last resort used only after failed attempts to have the user reword their own messages. So help us keep this site on an even keel while still preserving our rights to freely express our opinions. Good luck to all.
