So, does anyone have any suggestions for improving our sign-up Agreement? I was thinking about adding "racism" to it, but any and all serious suggestions will be considered. Here it is:

If you agree to abide by our rules below, you should press the "Agree" button, which will enable you to register. If you do not agree, press the "Cancel" button.

Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of the information posted. Please, remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any message, and we are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the authors of the messages and not the views of Linda-Goodman.com or any entity associated with Linda-Goodman.com. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages, and we will make every effort to do so within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, insulting, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by Linda-Goodman.com.

Although we do not and cannot review the messages posted and are not responsible for the content of any of the messages, we at Linda-Goodman.com reserve the right to delete 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 Linda-Goodman.com and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your messages.

We at Linda-Goodman.com also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.

Please, note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on this bulletin board.

Furthermore, please be advised that each registrant is entitled to only one Username. Registering under more than one Username will result in dismissal. FLAMING THIS BOARD IS TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY AND WILL RESULT IN A BAN. We reserve the right to approve registrations as we see fit and to delete anyone we feel is not compliant with our rules and at our sole discretion. Be aware that we are owned by a private company, but your postings are public and will appear on search engines.

"All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman

Our discussion today brings this thought to mind.

Perhaps to mention we have moderators in each forum and their responsibilities to the posters and Lindaland.
That mayhelp reduce offensive behavior if newflakes are aware from the get go is is not an open arena.

edited to say. That would also help moderators be aware for their responsibilities.

The copyright thing is there for legal reasons. I get copyright owners contacting me occasionally, and I have to delete said content. That's a great idea, Juni. I will definitely add that info to it. Pornstrology? Yeah, we don't want any of that.

So can we quote content posted online for general use (not from something that needs a paid subscription for example), something that can be easily found. Is that ok, or no? If we use quotes and provide links, I mean.

The final copy of the Agreement:

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, racist, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually exlicit, pornographic, threatening, personally insulting of any member, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by Linda-Goodman.com.

If you violate the rules, you will be issued a reminder. If you continue to violate the rules, you will then be issued a formal warning. After that, you will be banned from the site. Please, feel free to post your opinions and even engage in healthy debate, but do not personally insult another member. This will not be tolerated. Stay on topic and on issues, but refrain from personal attacks. Each Forum has one or more Moderators who are authorized to issue warnings. If a Moderator is not available at the time for that particular Forum, another Forum's Moderator may intervene on that Moderator's behalf. The Webmaster may also issue warnings. The basic rule on Lindaland is the Golden Rule. Play nice. <3
