Rules for those participating in our Discussion / Chat Boards

There are the rules for posting on our boards. These rules and guidelines are intended to help the flow of conversation, to keep people from offending one another, and to keep our message boards fun and interesting. BloginService.com reserves the right to prohibit any member from post to any of the board communities if they are in violation of any of these rules.

1. BloginService.com discussion boards are for *everyone* to share ideas and post their opinions. People will have opinions that differ from your own, but PLEASE do not be rude or offensive in reply. That said, we do not allow any lewd, obscene, offensive, defamatory, or otherwise disruptive discussion on these boards. We also do not allow outwardly public bashing of any members of our community (or group of members of our community) in journals or any other threads. If you have a problem with someone, keep it off the boards.

2. Please do not post material on the boards that is copyright protected without permission from the copyright owner. Since there are many thousands of possible sources spread out across the Internet, it is impossible for us at the BloginService.com to know if a posting represents a copyright infringement. The author of a posting is responsible for ensuring that his/her message or uploaded material does not violate any exising copyrights.

3. The BloginService.com discussion boards are not intended to be used for any commercial activity or solicitation. This means there is to be no advertising or promoting of any commercial service of any kind by any vendor or member selling their personal products. Any vendor who joins for the sole purpose of advertising their service, product, etc will have all their posts removed and will be banned from using any service of BloginService.com. This also includes the solicitation or advertising of other community discussion boards, chat boards, or mailing lists. (Unless permission is granted by the BloginService.com) Again, if you spam our boards, you forfeit your right to use the boards and will completely lose all privileges in our community - this is strictly enforced.

4. BloginService.com staff reads most all posted messages. We may edit posts or delete any messages that violate our guidelines. We do reserve the right to edit subject/thread titles as we deem necessary in order to maintain continuity within the forum. We also reserve the right to move any thread into a more appropriate forum in order to maintain continuity throughout our community boards.

5. We also strongly adhere to a ZERO TOLERANCE policy of pornographic material posted on our site. Any visitor who posts pornographic or obscene material within the BloginService.com discussion boards will immediately be banned from using our system in the future.

6. Blogin Service can ban IP addresses and users at any given time of our choosing, for any or no reason what-so-ever, at our sole discretion. Further, we can edit or remove posts, replies, and/or any messages that we want to. These actions may be taken with or without any explanation or reason being given. This applies to the Survival Board, the Weblog (Blog Area) and the Threaded Discussion Boards.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use BloginService.com to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, religious preaching and discussion (except in the appropriate forum), sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by BloginService.com.

The administration reserves the right to terminate any user or account for any reason, including but not limited to the rules above. Any member who is in violation of the rules and/or guidelines forfeits any remaining time remaining on their membership account.

Although BloginService.com does not and cannot review the messages posted on the various boards, and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at BloginService.com reserve the right to delete or edit any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless BloginService.com and it's agents, including the makers of the discussion board software, and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).
