Content Prohibited.
1. Members are not allowed to use Clipper's Busy Corner to circumvent any law of the United States, any State in the Union, or a foreign sovereignty. The Staff has adopted a zero tolerance policy toward this behavior. The Staff at Clipper's Busy Corner do not condone such behavior, ever. The Staff works hard to promote a safe and legal environment for Members to discuss various topics. Should the Staff find a post violating this, or receive a complaint from one of the Members or a third party, the Staff will, in its discretion, report the incident it to the proper law enforcement authorities. Any Member posting a way to violate any law will be banned immediately! This is your only notice.
2. The Staff will not tolerate the posting of any libelous material. If the Staff finds such posts or receives complaints about such posts, the Staff will delete those posts immediately and send the offending poster a private message. Upon a second violation, you account will be deleted and your IP address banned. This policy is to protect not only the Members from unnecessary legal liability, but also to protect the Staff.
3. The Staff will not allow any posts that contain personal information. "Personal Information" includes, but is not limited to: phone numbers, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, passwords, etc. This prohibits not only your own personal information, but personal information of other people. If the Staff finds posts containing this information, or someone raises a complaint with the Staff, the Staff will remove the post from the thread and forward it to the poster in a Private Message (hereinafter referred to as a PM). The PM will also contain a message explaining the specific violation. The Member is allowed to revise the post without the personal information. If Members wish to exchange personal information, they may do so through the PM function. The Staff strongly cautions against such an information exchange because it could lead to identity theft. Proceed at your own risk.
4. Do not post for-profit or non-profit commercial sites on the board in either threads or in ones signature unless the site posted it is part of or in relation to an ongoing discussion. If you wish to add a commercial site of yours into your profile, we don’t have a problem with that, just not directly visible on the board. By the same token; special events either FP or NFP can be posted in the Entertainment Section, if they are appropriate. i.e. - the opening of a new venue, eatery, etc.

6. Use of multiple accounts or screen names by one individual (sock puppets or straw accounts) are prohibited unless prior approval is given by Staff. Unauthorized multiple accounts by one individual will result in a violation and will be deleted by the Staff and the registrant warned. Continuation of such unapproved accounts will result in being permanently banned.
7. Copyrighted material may not be posted without the copyright holder's written consent. An exception to this requirement is where the license that governs the copyrighted work already provides for other uses that do not require the author's prior consent. If there is any doubt, contact the author. If the Staff receives a complaint about copyrighted material being improperly posted, the Staff will follow the Enforcement Measures outlined below.
