Overview

This policy file was written with the intent of informing users who use the FurBuy system of policies and recommended procedures for the message board system. It is a bona fide extension to the Terms of Use document which acts as the core policy file which all users must abide by. This file is of particular interest to any user who makes use of the message boards on the FurBuy system.

Content

We ask that users think carefully about their message before making a post to the FurBuy Message Boards. Please use a fair amount of decorum whenever possible in your messages, if you think it might not be a good thing to say then it would be best to follow your instinct and not write it. We encourage users to deal with personal issues via e-mail only and not to bring any personal facts which may be damaging or untrue to light on our messaging system. Heated arguments or out of control emotional rampages will not be tolerated on the message boards. The rough usage of the Message Board system is for FurBuy business and that of the furry community in general. Please keep all posts related to one of these two general guidelines. We also ask that you make every attempt to post messages in the appropriate forum, and make note that replies whose subjects or points change can be cross-posted to a new forum without interrupting the message thread.

While adult conversation and discussions are certainly permitted in our message boards, we require all such messages to include the word "adult" in the subject of the message. This will help prevent users who do not wish to view such material from accidentally loading information or conversations that may disturb them.

Remedies

Administrators reserve all rights to effect the message boards and their contents, with or without notifying users of any changes made. This includes removing offensive messages from the boards, modifying the subject lines, changing the forum a message belongs to, and banning users from making further posts to the message boards. Administrators may determine the need for such changes at their own discretion. Under no circumstances should an administrator alter the text contained in a message, however. These policies apply to all message boards hosted by the FurBuy system.
