You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this message board to post any material that is knowingly false and/or defamatory, libelous, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, an invasion of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law.

This can include the discussion of Web sites, as we believe MouseOwners is not the venue for criticizing other sites.

You agree to abide by the wishes of the board administrators and moderators in interpreting and enforcing these rules. Refusal to cooperate with board moderators or to abide by these rules is grounds for revocation of your posting privileges.

Vandalism of the site through inappropriate use of HTML or other code is grounds for immediate banning. Vandals (and other egregious policy violators) will be reported to their ISPs (Internet service providers). Extreme cases may be referred to the police.

Contact us immediately if you find that a posted message is objectionable. We can remove objectionable messages and will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

This message board allows us to selectively ban individual users, and to delete all postings by a particular screen name in a single operation. Please remember that you are our guest here, and that we must reserve the right to exclude you at our whim, for any or no reason whatsoever. By registering and using the board you acknowledge this right and agree to abide by our rules and to submit to their interpretation and enforcement by our moderators and editors.

In other words, don't be a trouble-maker. We do not allow name-calling on MouseOwners; we do allow reasoned debate. If you disagree with a poster, you may debate the points in the discussion, but you may not make ad hominem attacks against the poster. Doing so will cause a moderator to give you a warning. Continuing to do so will result in suspension or banning.

Considering the real-time nature of message boards and the number of messages posted, it is impossible for us to verify the information posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. Please be particularly wary of medical, legal or other professional advice posted on the message boards and recognize that it is no substitute for in-person consultation with a competent professional. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of MouseOwners, its moderators, its administrators, the site owners, or any entity associated with it.

Only one screen name is permitted per user. If you wish, for some extraordinary reason, to change screen names, please notify the webmaster. Use of multiple screen names is grounds for revocation of your right to post under ANY screen name.

We reserve the right to refuse postings from screen names we find objectionable, including URLs used as screen names. We reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You are solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless MouseOwners (the operator of this message board) and its agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).

MouseOwners also reserves the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.

Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are not permitted on this message board and will be deleted. We will notify the Internet service provider of any party posting objectionable messages.

By posting on this board you grant MouseOwners a nonexclusive irrevocable right to reuse your posting in any manner it sees fit without notice or compensation to you.
