YOU MUST REGISTER WITH THE FORUM TO MAKE POSTINGS IN IT AND VIEW
ALL AREAS, OTHERWISE YOU MAY READ ONLY THE PUBLIC AREAS OF THE FORUM.
ACTIVATION
OF AN ACCOUNT MUST BE COMPLETED BY YOU, IN REPLY TO AN EMAIL. YOU MUST
PROVIDE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS, IDEALLY USE YOUR COMPANY EMAIL DOMAIN. DO NOT CHOOSE A USERNAME FOR THE FORUM BASED ON YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
THE
FORUM IS SET FOR ADMINISTRATOR APPROVAL OF NEW IDS, A PROCESS WHICH MAY
TAKE UP TO TWO WEEKS TO COMPLETE, AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ADMIN
STAFF. ONLY WHEN APPROVED ARE YOU ARE SENT THE ACTIVATION EMAIL, WHICH
YOU MUST THEN REPLY TO WITHIN A WEEK.
WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY DELAYS AT OUR END, MADE NECESSARY BY PAST SPAM POSTING ATTACKS.
ONCE REGISTRATION IS COMPLETE YOU SHOULD LOGIN AND USE YOUR ACCOUNT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
As
you register you will choose your forum username. We advise that you
think carefully as to the format of that username, as your username and
email address will be used to assess whether the registration is
genuine or from a robot.
Forum usernames that are the same as
the email address name will be rejected. The domains "yahoo", "gmail"
and "mail.ru" are often used by robots to register something like forum
username "blogger" with an email address of "
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
", and
thus those are not approved.
Please don't make
multiple registrations from the same IP address in the same week - such
IDs are liable to be removed, even before being activated.
Your
password must contain at least 8 characters and use both upper and
lower case letters as well as numbers, it should not include your
username. Choose something complex and unique as a password for your
account, to prevent account theft.
With the user account you are
about to register, you agree to never give your password out to any
other person. You also agree to NEVER use another person's account for
any reason.
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.
Note
that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of this forum to
confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively
monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the
content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness,
or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express
the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of this forum,
its staff, its subsidiaries, or this forum's owner. Anyone who feels
that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an
administrator or moderator of this forum immediately - please send a
Personal Message to either "Michael" or "John Peck".
The staff
and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable
content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal
is necessary. This is a manual process, however, please realize that
they may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.
This policy applies to member profile information as well.
You
remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages.
Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of
this forum, any related websites to this forum, its staff, and its
subsidiaries. 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.
After you
register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a
detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and
accurate information. Any information the forum owner or staff
determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with
or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable.
Our
member list is checked regularly. Where accounts which have not been
active on-line and have email addresses or usernames that appear
suspicious, they are deleted without warning! Multiple registrations
from the same IP address are also liable to be purged, so that we
retain only recently used account(s). Previously used accounts that
have not made any postings in the forum, will be also be deleted if not
used for long periods - presently a year.
Please note that with
each post, your IP address is recorded, 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.
Also note
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.
