Board Rules

TERMS OF SERVICE array(TOS):
Elaramie is a community website. We welcome people from all walks of life to our forums. Because of this, do not engage in excessively crude talk, violent or threatening talk, foul language, or personal attacks. Posts containing any of the above may be removed or edited without notification. Threads which degenerate into disruptive battles, or which in any other way violate a user friendly atmosphere may be removed.
We encourage enthusiastic and spirited discussion. Disagreements can make for good discussion. People are allowed to disagree and state opinions strongly. However, hostile posts, or a pattern of hostile posts, which disrupt the level of conversation on a thread may also be edited or removed, and action may be taken against offending posters.
If another poster violates TOS, it is better to ignore the post and/or notify a moderator. Debating with a hostile poster about their behavior only causes thread degeneration. Stick to the topic of the thread, rather than the personalities involved. Often "removing the audience" causes an offending poster to stop hostile tactics, as they no longer bring attention. Another person's poor behavior is not an excuse to misbehave.
Also remember that this is not America, this is elaramieland and we reserve the right to edit or delete any message for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
TOS details and explanations:
Foul Language: Strong language will be removed, and a continued pattern of foul language may result in the poster being barred from the forums.
Attack: "Flaming" or personal attacks are not permitted on Elaramie. Disagreement is not the same as attack. We are people of varied opinions, and will naturally disagree at times. A certain amount of "thick skin" is necessary in any internet forum. Do not take a strong statement of opinion as an attack. But attacks on another poster array(as opposed to their argument) violate these Terms of Service. A poster who engages in such personal attacks may be banned from the forums. Personal attack may be defined as any behavior designed to make a poster feel unwelcome on the forum. This would include, for example, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual slurs, or scorn directed at another poster, or attempts to drive another poster off the message board. Threads with the purpose of criticizing or insulting another poster will be removed.
Board Disruption: Board disruption can take a variety of forms. Continual disruption of a thread due to personal bickering, hostility, spam, etc, may result in the thread being locked, removed, or the posters involved being banned from the forum for a period of time.
Violence or threats: These are absolutely not tolerated against board members or any other real person, public or private, will be removed.
Personal information about our members: The staff at Elaramie cares deeply about our members and are interested in providing a safe environment in which to post. There is no perfect method of preventing access to predators without restricting access to everyone. It is unwise for persons of any age to give out personal information about themselves on a public message board. Adults may choose where and how many personal details they wish to post. Registration requires you to select a username and password. This will allow you to maintain an identity on the boards, as well as enable you to edit your own posts. You are permitted to register more than one identity. You may not use another posters identity. We don't use your email address or any other information that you submit, other than to control the boards and to provide updates. You'll be able to select what information you want to reveal to others during registration and after in your profile area.
Persons who appear to be inappropriately curious about our member's personal information may be subject to warning or ultimately user banning. If the staff at Elaramie has reason to believe an individual is attempting to gain improper information about another person for criminal purposes he/she will be reported to the proper authorities. Advertising and sales are only permitted in designated forums. No "spam", please.
Please note that intentional disregard and/or willful violation of these terms can and will increase the severity of the administration's response, and may be grounds for permanent removal from the message board.
The Elaramie staff will determine when a poster has violated TOS and what actions, if any, shall be taken.
Discipline Policy array(Warnings, Banning, and Members Right to Appeal):
A record will be kept of each member's official warnings array(those which were issued in thread or emailed to the member) for the private reference of the Staff. If a member repeatedly incurs warnings for an inappropriate behavior or a variety thereof that member will be issued a final warning to cease and desist immediately. Should the user again violate the TOS, they may be temporarily banned for a period to be determined by the Administrators. During this time the user must stay off the site. Upon their return the disciplined member will have a very limited number of new warnings issued before they may be permanently banned from participating at Elaramie. If the member chooses to register a new name and use it following the decision of either a temporary or permanent ban both the new and the old user name will be permanently restricted from participation. The exact number of warnings needed before a temporary or permanent ban is enacted is left up to the discretion of the Administrators and will vary according to the degree of the offensearray(s) and the level of cooperation the member exhibits during contact. Should any member disagree with an action taken by a Moderator they may appeal. The appeal will be reviewed and then action will be taken. At that time the decision of the Administrators is final and not subject to appeal.
These Terms of Service are subject to change without notice. It is the duty of the member to periodically check these Terms of Service for any updates or changes in policy. Ignorance of a policy does not excuse the behavior. Please note that intentional disregard and/or willful violation of these terms can and will increase the severity of the administration's response, and may be grounds for permanent removal from the message board.
The following is the standard disclaimer....

Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages 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. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this BB or any entity associated with this BB. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this BB.
Although this BB does not and cannot review the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at this BB reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this BB, Infopop, Inc. array(the makers of the bulletin board software), and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your messagearray(s).
We at this BB also reserve the right to reveal your identity array(or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.
Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on this BB.
