4. Conduct on Site
Your use of the site is subject to all applicable laws and regulations, and
you are solely responsible for the substance of your communications through the
site. By posting information in or otherwise using any communications service,
chat room, forums, blogs, groups, documents library, video, or other interactive
service that may be available to you on or through this site, you agree that you
will not upload, share, post, or otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution
of any content -- including text, communications, software, images, sounds,
data, or other information – that includes any of the following:
a. is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous,
deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, contains
explicit or graphic descriptions or accounts of sexual acts (including but not
limited to sexual language of a violent or threatening nature directed at
another individual or group of individuals), or otherwise violates our rules or
policies;
b. victimizes, harasses, degrades, or intimidates an individual or group of
individuals on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, race,
ethnicity, age, or disability;
c. infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of
publicity, or other proprietary right of any party;
d. constitutes unauthorized or unsolicited advertising, junk or bulk email
(also known as "spamming"), chain letters, any other form of unauthorized
solicitation, or any form of lottery or gambling;
e. contains software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs
that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage, or limit the functioning of
any software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment or to damage or obtain
unauthorized access to any data or other information of any third party; or
f. impersonates any person or entity, including any of our employees or
representatives.
Also:
a. Foul language, cursing, or vitriolic and gratuitous name calling are not
acceptable. Calling other members harsh or rude names is also unacceptable.
b. Anti-Semitism is unacceptable - in ALL its forms - even if you try to dress
it up and disguise it or make excuses and justifications for it, it is always
unacceptable. FreedomTorch will be the final arbiter over what is considered
anti-Semitic.
c. Any kind of threats direct or implied are unacceptable. Promotion of illegal
acts are unacceptable. Threats to fellow FreedomTorch members or any other
group, including Jews, Muslims, gays, liberals are always unacceptable.
Gratuitous insults to these groups or members of these groups are also
unacceptable. Telling the truth about the beliefs of one group or another is
fine, but threats and insults are not.
d. If you are a "9/11 truther", or Alex Jones follower, your membership may or
may not be tolerated. All links posted to prisonplanet, infowars, other similar
sites may (and probably will) be deleted without notice. And if you continue to
post such links and videos your membership will be cancelled WITH OR WITHOUT
NOTICE (most likely without).
e. We have a very low tolerance for conspiracy theories and may at any time and
without warning delete such content. This is NOT a site that is welcoming to
conspiracy theories.
f. You or your content will not be deleted from the site if you are a
traditional American conservative. However, if you call yourself a conservative
but believe our government is as bad as the terrorists, or you think of the CIA
as "al-CIAeda" (as in al-Qaeda), or that there are FEMA concentration camps in
America or that the United States is the biggest terrorist of all, your stay
here will most likely be short.
g. Liberals are welcome! If you're a liberal/progressive/socialist/communist,
you are welcome IF YOUR PURPOSE for being here is to engage in intelligent,
civil and polite debate. If you're here to mock conservatives or otherwise
harass or just generally make life miserable for us, you will be deleted WITHOUT
WARNING.
We neither endorse nor assume any liability for the contents of any material
uploaded or submitted by third party users of the site. We generally do not
pre-screen, monitor, or edit the content posted by users of communications
services, chat rooms, message boards, newsgroups, software libraries, or other
interactive services that may be available on or through this site. However, we
and our agents have the right at their sole discretion to remove any content
that, in our judgment, does not comply with these Terms of Use and any other
rules of user conduct for our site, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or
inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing such
content. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us
arising out of such removal of content. See "Use of Your Materials" below for a
description of the procedures to be followed in the event that any party
