Terms and Rules

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is annoying. Any images, music files, etc. may be uploaded here; but the responsibility is that of the poster, and the administration will remove anything in copyright immediately when properly notified by the original copyright holders. You retain authorship and intellectual property rights in your posting, but grant INTPForum and its successors and assigns a non-exclusive irrevocable right to reuse your posting in any manner it or they see fit without notice or compensation to you — posts made on this forum are hereby property of this forum.

Administrators can ban any member for any reason, which does not require justification.

No formal mechanical Warning or Infraction system is used on this site — but admins may issue warnings at their own discretion. If they want.

There are no moderators on this forum, only admins.

The providers ("we", "us", "our") of the service provided by this web site ("Service") are not responsible for any user-generated content and accounts. Content submitted express the views of their author only.

This Service is only available to users who are at least 13 years old. If you are younger than this, please do not register for this Service. If you register for this Service, you represent that you are this age or older.

It is forbidden to include any personally identifying private information in posts or profiles etc., including real names and addresses. Not limited to the user. No responsibility can be assumed for disregard of this rule. Any posts asking for such information shall be deleted where known.

All content you submit, upload, or otherwise make available to the Service ("Content") may be reviewed by staff members. All Content you submit or upload may be sent to third-party verification services (including, but not limited to, spam prevention services). Do not submit any Content that you consider to be private or confidential. Requested deletion will be treated with discretion, but shall be strictly limited to personally identifying material.

There are add-ons for most forum software that enable staff to look at members' chats, conversations etc.; these have never been implemented here, nor will they ever be. We have no interest in spying on members, either for our own or any other entities.

You agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to annoy, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws. You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct.

We may remove or modify any Content submitted at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Requests for Content to be removed or modified will be undertaken only at our discretion. We may terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice.

You are granting us with a non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable, unlimited license to use, publish, or re-publish your Content in connection with the Service. You retain copyright over the Content.

Reviving old threads is allowed; as are duplicate accounts ( sock-puppetry for arguments is frowned upon ); editing a post is allowed for a week in the case of Noble Users, and there are no notifications placed to indicate such edits; Registered Users are promoted to Noble Users after 12 normal posts.

These terms may be changed at any time without notice.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not register or use the Service. Use of the Service constitutes acceptance of these terms. If you wish to close your account, please contact us by making a request thread in the forum under Suggestions. Spam drowns email.
