TERMS OF SERVICE
VoiceYourself.com
Welcome! We are pleased you’ve come to the VoiceYourself
community forum. Because of our mutual interests to restore balance
and harmony to our planet this is where we can exchange information
and co-create the transformation that our planet needs. We believe
we can each make a difference if we work together. Ultimately the
success of our forums depends upon the quality posts of our participants.
We are responsible for creating the future the way we see it and
how we communicate with one another will determine our success.
In our effort to maintain the integrity of the boards we offer
these terms that apply to all the forums. Let this be a place that
will promote ideas, encourage lively debate, skeptical examination
and intelligent discussions to inspire individual action for change.
So let's participate with our hearts leading our minds.
Acceptance of Terms
VoiceYourself offers this Forum as a privilege, not a right, granted
to you
subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"). The
owners reserve the right to update, change the TOS at any time without
notice to
you or liability. By accessing and using this web site, you agree
to be
bound by the following terms and conditions, so carefully review
this
section before proceeding. We ask that if you do not agree to the
following Terms of Service or do not feel you are able to follow
them, for whatever reasons, please do not join the discussion.
By the nature of these discussions and the open access, the moderators
will have to make difficult judgment calls from time to time regarding
the appropriateness of a post. We really do not want to be the “word”
police. Please don't make our job any harder than it has to be.
While the moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit
any objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible
to review every message. We will make an effort to provide at least
one warning before access to post is denied.
We remind all of our members that you are responsible and liable
for all your activities conducted on VoiceYourself. Therefore you
acknowledge that all posts made to these Forums are that of the
author and not the moderators or webmasters, and hence VoiceYourself
will not be held liable.
Any comments posted on the Forums that violate our TOS may be removed
at any time. In an effort to maintain the highest level of debate
and to provide a comfortable environment for people to communicate,
we ask that you please respect our Terms.
Eligibility
1. You must be at least 18 years old and capable to enter into
a contract to use the VoiceYourself web site.
2. Each forum member may have only one account.
3. Each forum member must provide and maintain a valid e-mail address.
Note that non-moderators do not have access to your internal e-mail
address.
4. As a member you agree to any information you have entered into
your account profile to be stored in a database. While this information
will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, the
Webmaster,
administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any
hacking
attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.
5. Members who violate the terms may have their privilege of using
the Voice Yourself Forums interrupted, suspended or terminated at
any time. The IP addresses of all posts are recorded to aid in enforcing
these conditions
Help Build the Community
The VoiceYourself community relies on your submissions being candid,
courteous, decent and fair. Inappropriate content/behavior includes:
1. Offensive, harmful, abusive language, expletives, profanities,
obscenities, hate speech, or harassing, vulgar, sexually explicit
language that may harm minors or is considered stalking will not
be tolerated.
2. Personal attacks or "flames" are not allowed. Flames
are defined as comments that reflect upon the person instead of
their opinion. Don’t become an annoying heckler by name-calling
or speculating on their personal lives. Personal attacks on others
have no place in meaningful debates. Users who verbally assault
the character or person of other posters on a regular basis will
be banned.
3. Posts that advocate or solicit violence or other criminal
or wrongful conduct. We will remove content that may put us in
legal jeopardy including potentially libelous or defamatory posts.
4. Racist, sexist, ethnic or otherwise offensive language. For
these purposes, language is offensive if any moderator feels in
good faith that such language would offend a majority of Voice
Yourself users.
5. Unsolicited advertising, junk or bulk e-mail, chain letters,
or any other unsolicited commercial communication.
6. Attempts to subvert or modify the normal flow of the open
forum or its content. Software viruses or any other computer code,
files, or programs that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage,
or limit the functioning of any software, hardware, or telecommunications
equipment.
7. Personally identifying information such as actual names, phone
numbers, mailing addresses or email addresses.
8. No trolling. Don't post off topic inflammatory remarks meant
to get people riled up. Substance is the key to not being labeled
a troll.
User Submissions
Note that all the Forums have a main topic. When starting a new
thread, please post it to the proper Forum. It helps the flow of
a thread to clearly state the subject line and back up opinions
with details. As is common practice on bulletin boards, we ask that
you post links and do not cut and past entire text of articles you
want people to read. We may edit user submissions for any reason
including clarity and length.
Messages received on these Forums are to be considered private
and are not to be posted publicly unless the sender of the private
message agrees.
We acknowledge there will be disagreements with the moderating
actions
that we shall not post on the Forum. However, should you have any
disagreement with an action taken by any of the moderators of this
Forum, or if you would like to bring a certain post or item to their
attention, please contact them directly via private message or by
email only to discuss the matter. Any posts of this type on the
Forums may be removed.
If you see objectionable content, please report it to us at
