Forum Rules and Terms of Use
By registering to use the OZmium Forums the user agrees
to abide by the following Terms of Use. Please
note that the Forums are a free service extended by a
commercial entity and are not public property. The Forum
Terms of Use take precedence over freedom of expression,
in the interests of maintaining this service.
Terms of Use
People who register for the Forums may receive occasional promotional
material via e-mail from OZmium Pty Ltd. This will be
minimal and your e-mail address will not knowingly be passed
on to any third party under any circumstances. When e-mails are
sent to forum members using the forum software no representation
is made that this mailing method will be free of error or will
guarantee 100index.php?s=f0447d902a195c437c9d9b6eab9c7339&ecurity of each recipient's email address.
The OZmium Forums are minimally moderated. Postings are not
checked before publication, but if any are detected that
run contrary to the Terms of Use outlined here they may
be edited or deleted. In extreme cases, where a breach
of the law may have occurred, the appropriate authorities
will be alerted.
A person may only register one account. Only one person may use a forum account.
When registering to post on the Forums please choose an appropriate
user name. Obscene or overly suggestive names are not
permitted. Names that double as a commercial promotion by containing the
name of a site or a hyperlink are not allowed without
prior permission of the Forum owners. The use of famous
names as pseudonyms in cases where some readers could
reasonably be expected to think that it really might be
that person are not allowed. (Example: It is okay to call
yourself Napoleon, but not okay to call yourself Bart
Cummings, unless you are!)
Opinions and advice offered on the Forums should be treated with
due caution and the owners of this site do not accept
responsibility for any loss arising from it. Any opinions
expressed here belong to the poster and are not endorsed
by the Forum owners unless explicitly stated.
Management reserves the right to use the Forums in any way it sees
fit, including the posting of commercial material. All
postings to the Forums and their subsequent threads become
the property of the Forum owners. Requests for the removal
of postings and their threads for reasons other than factual
error, potentially defamatory content, or occasional special
circumstances will in most cases not be granted.
The following types of postings are not acceptable.
Potentially defamatory or libellous. This especially relates to the
identifying of businesses, racing products, racing personalities
or other individuals in a context that could harm reputations,
even if justified.
Offensive language or sexual content.
Personal abuse or unpleasantness. A member who persistently alienates
other members of the Forum may be restricted or banned.
Incitement of racial hatred or other activities illegal
under Australian law.
Promotion of other sites in a way that might be expected to result
in financial disadvantage to OZmium Pty Ltd. For advice
on what is acceptable in this regard before posting, please
contact OZmium management.
Public notices and announcements. Before posting, for advice on what is acceptable please
contact OZmium management.
Promotion of 'get rich quick' schemes or e-mail solicitations to
join such schemes.
Unpaid advertisements or spam.
Irrelevant or off-topic postings such as political or religious rhetoric.
Persistent attacks on OZmium Pty Ltd designed to cause commercial harm.
Postings that circumvent censored words. Users should not attempt
to bypass the forum word censor software by altering the
spelling, or any other methods. Obscene words are banned
to create a more pleasant environment for all users. If
a business name has been banned, there is a reason for
that and the Forum owner's wishes should be respected.
Postings not covered by any of the above, but deemed clearly inappropriate
by management.
Note: Management reserves the right to responsibly edit postings
in line with the Terms of Use outlined above, for example
to remove an obscene reference from an otherwise worthwhile
posting, without justification or entering into correspondence.
Management reserves the right to restrict or ban members
who contravene the Terms of Use, or become difficult or
vexatious, without justification or entering into correspondence.
