General Forum Rules & Privacy Statement
Registration at this forum is free. However, registration means that you accept the forum rules. The rules are not meant to be exhaustive and we reserve the right to edit posts and/or to take other action in accordance with the purpose and principles of the forum.

Although the volunteer Forum Staff of this website will attempt to monitor and remove objectionable content in the forum, it is probably impossible for us to review all posts thoroughly. If you find an objectionable post, please report it to forum staff.

All posts reflect the views of the author of that post. The owners of this website will not be held responsible for the content of any messages or information posted. By registering at this forum, you are agreeing to be held responsible for the information you add to the forum and that you accept and understand the basic forum rules outlined above as well as the general forum rules below:

E-mail Accounts
You must register on this site with an e-mail address that is valid and users whose e-mail accounts bounce will have their accounts deactivated. New users will not be able to post on the forums until they click the activation link sent to their registered e-mail address and the account has been approved and activated by the forum administrator.

Accounts
Only one account per person is allowed and registering more than one account could result in all of a users accounts being suspended.

IP Changing Software
Software that shows you as using a different IP to your real one is not allowed nor is software that changes your IP to fake ones.

Abusing Other Members
Abusing other members of this website is not tolerated. Personal or targeted insults are not tolerated. Posts that are just insulting or nasty are not tolerated. Please report abusive posts or Private Messages to a Moderator or Administrator.

Arguments and Disagreements
If you feel a post is not correct or someone’s actions or comments have upset you, do not start an argument in the forums. Instead, send a Private Message or E-mail to the user and speak to them directly. You must not question the Forum Staff’s actions within the forums but communicate via Private Message or E-mail. The Forum Staff have the final say in all actions that they have taken.

Please note: While moderators and administrators will attempt to ensure that insensitive or abusive posts are removed or edited, and as stated above you are encouraged to report any such activity to Psychlinks Staff, you alone are responsible for your interactions with other forum members. Psychlinks reserves the right but is not obligated to mediate or solve disputes between you and other users of the forum.

Third party materials
All third party articles or excerpts must include full credit to the authors as well as a link to the original source. Please also ensure that you do not post material where the author has expressly forbidden reproduction.

Advertising and Spam
Advertising a website, product or service is not allowed unless permission has been given from the Forum Staff or in a specific forum with rules on the types of posts that can be made.

Linking to illegal content or sites
Advertising or otherwise linking to any sort of illegal content is strictly prohibited. This includes links to illegal torrents, links to rapidshare files, or links to illegal sites themselves.

Malicious Content
Any member posting anything that you know may cause the computer or system of a visitor to experience problems will face an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.

Junk Posts
Posts made must be in the correct forums. Specific forums are available for users to post off topic posts so please use them if required. Please try to remain on topic, especially in serious or informational threads.

Clear English Posts
Please ensure that you try to use clear English in your posts. Avoid the use of "txt msg" formats - not all of our members will be familiar with the conventions used in text messaging and it makes threads difficult to read. Do NOT post in ALL CAPS or in large fonts. Do not use fonts or font colors that are glaring or difficult to read.

Multiple Posts
Posting the same information in multiple forums is not allowed. You may post something similar to another post if it has not been discussed or used for a reasonable time period.

Privacy Statement
This website does not sell, rent or trade user information and will always strive to maintain high security to ensure users data is kept private and confidential on the forums. For further information, see Privacy Policy.

Account Removal and Banned Accounts
If a user who has posted on the forums wishes to leave this website, we will deactivate the account. However, please note that posts will not normally be removed since this can cause other posts and threads to read incorrectly. We will only remove these posts if it could cause a serious problem to another person or to this website.

Banned users will not have their account removed and their information may remain on this website so we can attempt to limit them from registering again and should the need for further action arise.

Privacy Policy

All information obtained by the end user via the registration process is for internal purposes only and will not be sold to or shared with any third parties.

However, if the end user participates in illegal activities and a court of proper jurisdiction orders U.S. Politics Online to release certain information about said user then we will act according to the law. Furthermore, no information will be released on threat of a lawsuit, attempted or actual intimidation, or due to any other reason except as notated in the first sentence of this paragraph.

Nonetheless, keep in mind that the information we do have is very limited and generally only consists of the IP address a member uses.

These rules are subject to change. Any major changes to the above rules will result in a announcement being made
