The Haverford Blog strives to maintain an open forum for any and all posters to voice their opinions.
Users of the Haverford Blog are responsible for the contents of their posts. The Haverford Blog Team
asks its users to maintain a level of decency and decorum in their posts.
Further, you are asked to stick to the issues and stay on the topic.
Registration
The Haverford Blog requires uses to register before posting to the forums.
The process is simple and provides some benefits, such as:
- You can edit your own posts.
- You can send and receive private messages.
- No other poster can use your name to post.
- You can select a picture icon, a tagline, and supply as much
information as you like to other users, such as your email address or website.
Removals
The Haverford Blog reserves the rights to remove any post or ban any user with or without cause. The Haverford Blog Administrators may remove an entire post or part of a post.
The Haverford Blog Administrators will not remove a post based on the opinion expressed, but may remove a post for the manner in which an opinion is expressed. All message boards have moderators. The Haverford Blog will remove posts for the following reasons:
- The post contains indecent language or images. (Note: the Haverford Blog is set up to immediately translate some commonly used offensive words into less offensive forms.)
- The post involves speculation about another poster’s identity.
- Name-calling.
- Unpaid advertising. Posting for charity and non-profit activities is typically permitted.
- Cross-talk between posters. Use private messages to other registered users for private discussions.
The Haverford Blog Administrators may remove old posts, expired posts and any other posts in maintaining the forums.
If you post something that was removed and you disagree with the Haverford Blog Administrators' decision to remove it,
you can send a private message to haverfordblogadmin or email the Haverford Blog Administrators at admin@haverfordblog.com.
