Terms of Service


Overview

In order to provide this free service we have a few common sense rules and service guidelines. All forum administrators are responsible for understanding the terms of service (TOS) and adhering to them.

Violations of the TOS will be grounds for immediate removal of a list.


Terms of Service Summary

We cater to open family-friendly forums only.

Forums may not contain spam or excessive profanity, and may not focus on any illegal or offensive topics including violence, hate, hacking, warez, porn, drugs, gambling, weapons, alcohol or tobacco.

No ad units or popups of any type may be added to a forum. Also forums may not be used in conjunction with autosurf or traffic packages or any automated access. We are advertisement supported.

Abandoned forums may be removed.


Terms of Service Details

All forums must be family-friendly in nature with no illegal, offensive, "adult" or vice-related subject matter.

We require that forum administrators take steps to prevent their boards from being used to spam or promote spam of any type. We strongly recommend that forums are configured to require registration for posting, and that account activation utilizes the email activation and security code features that are built into the software.

Admins should never use spam techniques to promote their forum. Signing up to unrelated lists is an example.

Administrators are responsible for compliance with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act of 2000 (COPPA), which requires individuals under 13 to provide a release form from their parents. (Forum software provides support for COPPA during registration.)

Excessive profanity or swearing is not allowed.

Boards may not discuss topics promoting violence, hate, intolerance, hacking, cracking, warez, pornography, "adult" themes, illegal drugs, legal drugs, gambling, guns, knives or other weapons, alcohol, tobacco or smoking.

No external advertising may be added to any forum including PPC or other advertising units or any kind of popup.

Forums must not be used as the target of "traffic blast" packages or in autosurf networks, or with any other system that artificially boosts or creates automatic pageviews.

Forums must retain a certain level of activity. Forums that have had no new votes or no administrator login in the past 90 days will be considered abandoned and may be removed.

Forums may include advertisements added by the system, although we will never add popups or popunders. Optional ad-free packages are avail for a small fee.
