Online Conduct Policy |
Online Conduct Policy for ConnectTogether.com
We encourage users of the www.ConnectTogether.com website (the 'Website') to contribute freely to our forum, chat-room and bulletin board, as long as they do so in a responsible fashion and show respect for others. To ensure that we are both protected, we have developed a standard of conduct that is strictly enforced. This standard should be read with our Website Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions for Membership Services which contain important information about our liability and copyright matters.
Comments posted here and/ or on the Website may at our discretion be removed, whether in breach of the standards or not, without further comment or notice to you. We reserve the right to identify you in response to a court order or threat of legal action. You agree in both the Website Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions for Membership Services to permit us to remove any such material.
Due to the real-time nature of the Website, forum, chat-room and bulletin board, it is impossible for us to continually monitor, assess and review all content within them. Therefore we cannot accept any responsibility for material posted, nor guarantee the accuracy or validity of any statement or material used. All messages posted are the express views of the author and not of the Website.
1. No profanity or obscenities of any kind, even disguised with asterisks or other symbols.
2. No personal attacks on other participants.
3. The following types of remarks or comments are not permitted:
- Defamatory, abusive or insulting;
- Racist or morally offending;
- Obscene, indecent or lewd;
- Pornographic;
- Violent, threatening or harassing;
- Any other material that may disrupt or vandalize the service.
4. Do not stray from the discussion topic.
5. No impersonation of other participants or public figures. A user may choose an appropriate nickname as long as a real name is used in the personal information field (which is not publicly visible).
6. No advertising or marketing of any kind, including non-profit organisations.
7. No third party copyright material should be posted. Use links instead of quotes from sources rather than copying the material.
8. No over sized fonts, JavaScript, tables, headings or other advanced HTML commands are allowed. Please use only bold or coloured fonts to emphasise your points.
9. Users are to refrain from collecting or storing any personal data or other information about other users.
10. There is a strict prohibition on any posting or transmission of any file or program that causes damage, contamination or other consequence that adversely affects another's operating system. Such transmissions or postings include, but are not limited to viruses, corrupted files or other electronic carriers such as 'Trojan Horses'.
11. There is to be no spamming on the Website. Do not duplicate the same comment to more than one forum.
12. Users shall not post or transmit that which they do not have a right to post or transmit under law or agreement. This may include, but is not limited to copyright or other intellectual property rights, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements or contracts.
This is not an exhaustive list and users are asked to use their common sense and courtesy when addressing others and commenting generally. Whilst these rules refer to comments the user is to have regard to any other type of material that can be transmitted and posted that may or is likely to cause:
- Offence;
- Violation of any laws;
- Civil liability;
- Criminal offence or acts.
In the event that you do experience any material that is offensive to you or other users, or in breach of any of these rules, please report the matter immediately to the Legal Officer. Refrain from retaliation. Retaliation will further complicate and aggravate the situation.
The user is to have regard to the spirit of the Website and for the purposes it is intended.
The Website reserves the right to change and amend these rules from time to time and without warning. All users are advised to regularly check the rules to ensure continued proper use of the Website. Continued use amounts to acceptance of the rules.
