1.  Prohibited Uses. You are strictly prohibited from using or promoting viruses, trojan horses, MySQL squeezing, hacking, phreaking, or any software or system that may threaten, damage or burden our forum, website, software, server, or any other website, software or server.
 

2.  Disclaimer of Liability. LiberalForum.org (and its owner Custom Web Design Office, LLC) disclaims all liability regarding from the use of our forum or any part of our website.  To be specific: In no event shall LiberalForum.org be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out, of or in any way connected with, the use of this website or with the delay or inability to use this website, or for the materials obtained through this web site, or for any claimed damage from our forum, or otherwise arising out of the use of this website, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, even if LiberalForum.org has been advised of the possibility of damages.  Our forum uses technology that is licensed from Invision Power Services (Invision), and Invision shall not be liable for your use of its forum technology.
 

3.  Suspensions, Terminations and Banning. LiberalForum.org reserves the right to suspend or terminate any member, or ban/block any member or user from our forum or any other area of our website, without providing a justification or notice if we feel it is in the best interest of our web community. If we suspend, terminate or ban you from our site and/or forum, and you attempt to circumvent this measure and regain access by registering under a new screen name or identity or any other method, we will construe this action by you as a form of unauthorized trespass. In such case, you have attempted to breach our security, and your information may be forwarded to authorities without notice to you.
 

4.  Forum Postings. LiberalForum.org makes website discussion forums available to its users. Any information that is written, pasted, posted or otherwise disclosed in these areas becomes public. You are advised to exercise caution when disclosing your personal or professional thoughts and/or information. Posts and any other form of submission by users express the views of the author of the message, and NOT the views of LiberalForum.org.
 

5.  Copyright. You may NOT submit/post any writing, pictures or any other information ("works") on our forum if by doing so you would violate the intellectual property rights of a third party. Chances are that if you did not create the works yourself --or they are not widely known as being in the public domain -- someone else has copyright protection in those works. It is your responsibility to post works that are not in violation of federal, state and international intellectual property laws. Consistent with Section 2, above, LiberalForum.org will not be responsible for your infringement.

6.  Code of Conduct. You must abide by our Code of Conduct:
 

A. Adhere to Forum Designations. There are certain areas of the board that allow participation from both Members (Liberals) and Non-Liberals. However, the "Liberals-Only" area is reserved for Members  who already agree on basic principles and philosophy.  Non-Liberals are not permitted to participate in areas designated for Members. Because this is a Liberal board, newly registered users are put in the Members category.  Users who do not identify themselves as Liberals must send an email to info@liberalforum.org requesting that their designation be changed to Non-Liberal.
 

B.  Be Civil. Don't use language that lowers the tone from that you would see on a television show (i.e., "Crossfire" or "Politically Incorrect"). Attacking your opponent personally is not appropriate. What is considered civil in heated political discourse?  For example, don't say "you're an idiot."   Instead, you can say "that's an idiotic position."  Criticizing aspects of people that are beyond their control, such as their race, gender, economic status, etc., are NOT acceptable.

(1)  Flaming. You are not allowed to post messages where rudeness, obscenity, hatred, vulgarity, or any other "flaming" is directed at other users. Flaming that is directed at a moderator or admin will be met with swift and strict action.
 

(2)  Excessive Profanity. While you may use profanity lightly as a mere exclamation to further express yourself or to underscore a point, you may not use excessive profanity in your posts.
 

(3)  Adult Material. Adult material is strictly prohibited. You may not post or link to any adult and/or obscene material.
 

(4) Spam. You may not post messages that promote commercial products or services, or any form of self-promotion. This includes affiliate links or links to your own products or services. You may contact us to report spam at info@liberalforum.org.
 

C.  Be Sincere. Don't post just to get people riled up. Don't disrupt the purpose of the forum, which is to foster genuine, and where possible, constructive dialogue between people of opposing ideologies.
 

(1)  Misrepresentation. Do not post messages that contain intentional misrepresentation of facts, or intentionally distort the truth. If you present information where a material element of that message directly contradicts something you have said earlier, please be prepared to justify the change of information.
 

(2)  Misdirection. Do not change the subject of a thread or post or otherwise misdirect a discussion.
 

(3)  Identity. Do not pretend to be another user/member or otherwise lie about your identity.
 

7.  Deletion, Modification or Moving of Posts/Threads. LiberalForum.org reserves the right to remove any forum posting that its admin or moderators consider inappropriate or in poor taste. Our decision as to what we will delete will be completely subjective. In addition, we may edit, modify, or move your posts/threads at our sole discretion and at any time without notice to you.
 

8.  Severability.  If any provision in this agreement is held to be unenforceable by a court of law or equity, this agreement shall be construed as if such provision did not exist and the unenforceable provision shall not be held to render any other provision of this agreement unenforceable.
 

9.  Applicable Law.  This Agreement is to be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Maryland and the United States of America.
 

10.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement.  The Agreement is intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the promises, representations, negotiations, discussions, and other agreements that may have been made in connection with the use of this Site.
 

11. Modification of Terms. We reserve the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time and without prior notice to you. It is your responsibility to return to  this site to review our terms.
