Proboards TOS and Privacy Policy + Admin policy

For the record, I will not be stealing any one's content or names or ideas or anything that you post here. You own all of the rights to yourself and your thoughts, ideas, and creations. As it should be.

I also do not edit or prune other people's posts. If you want to delete or edit any of your own posts that is your choice, but I won't do it for you unless you ask. (One time I deleted a thread at a user's request, but I copy/pasted every other poster's post into a new thread. Anyone who objected to me copy/pasting their post could complain and tell me what to do with their posts instead.)

This does not apply to trolls or anyone who is being truly hateful. So far we haven't had to do deal with anything evil so I don't have an exact line, but when I do I'll make sure it's written out so everyone can see it and we can discuss and see if we agree on it. I want everyone to feel safe here and free.

I have not looked at proboards policies on copyright. I imagine that since this is a proboards site we are also bound to their rules. I'll go take a look at them and post a link for anyone who is curious. I found it. www.proboards.com/tos

Here is the relevant bit:

15. USER CONTENT

"User Content" is any content, materials or information, not including Personal Information (as defined in ProBoards' Privacy Policy), that You upload or post to, or transmit, display, perform or distribute by means of, the Website, whether in connection with Your use of Services or otherwise. To clarify, You maintain full ownership of all your User Content posted to ProBoards. Because You own Your User Content, under the law, ProBoards requires a license from You before it can allow the User Content to be posted on the Website. For these reasons, the following provision is a necessary part of this Agreement:

YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE PROBOARDS PARTIES MAY PUBLISH OR OTHERWISE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR EXERCISE OF THE LICENSE GRANTED UNDER THIS SECTION. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE, AND HEREBY WAIVE, ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE EXERCISE BY THE PROBOARDS PARTIES OF THE RIGHTS GRANTED UNDER THIS SECTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIMS RELATING TO YOUR RIGHTS OF PERSONAL PRIVACY AND PUBLICITY. YOU WILL NOT BE COMPENSATED FOR ANY EXERCISE OF THE LICENSE GRANTED UNDER THIS SECTION.

You hereby represent and warrant that You own all rights, title and interest in and to User Content or are otherwise authorized to grant the rights provided the ProBoards Parties under this section. You further represent and warrant that all User Content fully complies with ProBoards' Community Guidelines.

Further, You agree that all information sent to, or retrieved from, the ProBoards servers will comply with ProBoards' Developer Guidelines which is hereby incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement.
