Post by: Emma on November 17, 2008, 09:46:45 PM
Forum rules:

1.   Members will respect the administrative team and their actions.  If a member takes issue with a moderator action they should report it privately to administration and can expect a response within 24 hours, although the response may be that the issue is being investigated and a more detailed response will be forthcoming.  In no case will the complaint be posted publically.

2.   Members agree to post respectfully and treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.  Members will not post any material which is knowingly false, defamatory, inaccurate, baiting, flaming, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, irrelevant and intentionally derogatory personal information, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. 

3.   Members agree not to post any copyrighted material unless it belongs to them or they have written consent from its owner.

4.   Members agree to stay on the topic of a particular thread or to start a new topic.  Members also agree to include the complete identifying header when quoting another post.

5.   Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are forbidden on this forum.

6.   Posted messages express the views and are the responsibility of the author, and are not necessarily the views of this forum or its administration.  Forum administration does not take responsibility for the content of posts or for confirming their validity. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented.

7.   Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator or moderator of this forum immediately.  The staff and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable content.  This policy applies to user IDs member profile information as well.

8.   Members agree to indemnify and hold harmless the forum and its administration and owners.

9.   Members agree not to edit any post that will affect the replies of others and will particularly affect the integrity of any topic on the forum. If it becomes necessary to edit a post at some time later than the date of the original post, a suitable reason must be given in the bottom of the edited post.

10.   The owners of this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this forum.

11.   Members agree to have only one user ID on the forum, and not to use any other user’s account for any reason.  Proxy IP addresses and multiple users from the same IP address will not be allowed except with special application to, and permission from, the administrative team.

12.   Members agree never to give out their password to anyone (with the exception of administration in unique circumstances).  We highly recommend use of a complex password to prevent unauthorized use of your account.

13.   Members agree never to use another person’s account here for any reason.

14.   Members agree that their IP address will be recorded with each post in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

15.   Members agree they have been notified that the software places a cookie, a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password), in your browser's cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out. The software does not collect or send any other form of information to your computer.

16.   Members may appeal an administrative decision or contact administration at username “AdventTalk Admin” or by emailing “Admin@AdventTalk.com”.
