Hi all, As some of you here know I am a moderator at two forums http://convivea.com/forums/index.php and www.hhoforums.com and know what someones responsibility is and your reputation effects your decisions on the sites "Terms of Service" (TOS) is and how members and guests view your actions including postings. I normally when becoming a member of any web site view the TOS and sometimes even copy what ever parts that may effect what I do there, so one of these sites was "Over Unity" .com that I copied references to conduct in July of 2008. QUOTE (#6) Specific Use -You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.The Terms of Service (TOS) at "Over Unity" .com was changed shortly there after in September 2008 ..... to read QUOTE (#6) Specific Use -You further agree not to use the website to send or post any message or material that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, indecent, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, sexually orientated, racially offensive, profane, pornographic or violates any applicable law and you hereby indemnify the Website Owner against any loss, liability, damage or expense of whatever nature which the Website Owner or any third party may suffer which is caused by or attributable to, whether directly or indirectly, your use of the website to send or post any such message or material.As you can see the you will not post any material which is false or inaccurate is missing. This is a very incompetent thing not to have in a forum and by it's removal has opened the door for any fraudulent device, construction details or bogus claims on anything. It also gives a "License" for members to provide information on results or documentation to be wrong and misleading. This gives the forum administration no recourse to do anything against that member for what was posted or replied to in a thread if portrayed incorrect. The other concern is that reading closely at the TOS at "Over Unity" .com there maybe some Data Mining going on there, with unique restrictions on posting, edits or image inserts and terms around them ..... but that's something else all together. http://www.overunity.com/5554/terms-and-conditions/So ..... Rosemary is well within her right to "LIE" through her teeth there, but of course that's assuming she has teeth some say she has fangs. Fuzzy *edit* repaired - www.hhoforums.com (link)
