Consortium
Discussion Groups Guidelines
The Consortium Discussion
Groups gives users a place to meet, interact, and share knowledge and
information with each other. Just like a real community, you may share
different opinions with other Consortium Discussion Group users. The
Consortium Discussion Groups experience is best when people remember
a few rules. The Consortium presents the terms and conditions of the
use of this service in the Consortium Terms
of Service, the Guidelines, and in other rules that are placed on
the site. As you use the Consortium Bulletin Board, some of the key
points to remember are:
- You may not harass, abuse, threaten, or advocate
violence against other members or individuals.
- You may not post content that is harmful to minors.
- You may not post content that is obscene, otherwise
objectionable, or in violation of federal or state law.
- Stay on topic. Although all categories and topics
are different, most participants appreciate it when you stay on topic.
If you constantly stray from topic, you may be moderated or removed
from a category or topic altogether by its owner.
- You may not add members to a category or topic without
their permission.
- You may not use the Consortium Bulletin Board for commercial
or advertising purposes.
- You may not post content which infringes upon the
intellectual property, privacy or other rights of third parties.
Some content may be more appropriate in some contexts
than in others. Consortium reserves the right to remove content that it
determines, at its sole discretion, to be inappropriate and in violation
of the rules. Discussions or depictions of inappropriate behavior or
other exploitative contents are prohibited.
- You may not use the Discussion Groups solely for
the purpose of storing and archiving files.
If you are unsure whether content is consistent with these
policies, please use caution and do not post your content on the Consortium
Discussion Groups or any other Consortium community area.
Consortium's
Right to Terminate.
The Consortium Discussion
Groups, at its sole discretion, may terminate or remove any content,
Category, Topic, or Consortium ID immediately and without notice if
(a) the Consortium believes that you have acted inconsistently with
the spirit or the letter of the Consortium's Terms
of Service or the Consortium Discussion Groups Guidelines, or (b)
Consortium believes you have violated or tried to violate the rights
of others. Please help us keep Consortium Discussion Groups an enjoyable
and positive experience. If you see a Topic or Category or content that
violates our rules, please let us know by contacting
us.
