  • Just a friendly reminder!!

    The following is the TOS for ADBB. Please take a moment to read it.
    Thanks for your cooperation in adhering to our policies!


    TERMS OF SERVICE :

    Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of ADBB or any entity associated with this Bulletin Board. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and will make every effort to do so within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

    You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use ADBB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violates any law.
    Any links in signatures must be approved by adminstration before posting. Please be advised that all links should be:
    1.) Non commercial
    2.) relevant to the Atkins WOE/WOL
    3.) Non competitive.

    The ADBB does not and cannot review all messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages. We, at this Bulletin Board, reserve the right to delete or edit any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages.

    For simplicity sake, we ask that you adhere to the following posting guidelines:

    1) Be kind and supportive. Flaming/trolling/abusive posts and/or spam will not be tolerated on the boards. Know that even if you don't leave personally identifiable information, your IP can and will be logged and you can be reported to your ISP and/or banned from posting.
    2) Try to post to the appropriate forums. This will enable our members to help and answer your questions in the best manner possible. It also helps newer members find the information since you may be asking a question they need an answer to as well!
    3) The owner and moderators have the express right to remove or edit any post, for any reason, at any time. It is our policy to try to contact the poster of an offending message privately to let them know that their post was removed and why it was removed.
    4) Some posts may be deemed overly controversial for this board. We may choose not to allow certain posts that may cause flame wars or split the board. Topics such as race, religion and politics may be censored if it is not tightly coupled with the atkins diet or are potentially offensive. For instance the topic of 'abortion and the atkins diet' may not be allowed on this board. Not because the board is pro or anti abortion but because of the political/religious/emotional debate potential.
    5) Any member who violates the TOS will be warned by an administrator. Members will be given the "three strikes you're out" opportunity here at ADBB. After your second warning any further violations of the TOS you will be removed from the board and the member list. Warnings will be issued soley by the administrators.
    6) Our moderators and members are not medical experts. Advice given here is based solely on individual experience and study.
    7) Have fun! You have found a fantastic board with tons of great people. Take advantage of your find, dive in and enjoy!

    thank you for posting this. although it is easily accessed by clicking on FAQ'S i am real sure that not many members have read it.

    the numbers go like this:
    adbb has 24,067 members. views of the terms of service are 1,019. this means a whole host of members have not read the tos.

        Are you serious? Wow, that's amazing! Although I will tell you that they aren't the easiest thing to locate when you're looking for them.

            I am going to set up a sticky of it in the main forum, hopefully then it will be readily available to all, and easy to find.

            Thanks for pointing out the fact that its not simple to see MOG.

                Boy there's eye opener! That is less than half of 1% !! Looks like not only does the overwhelming majority of the ADBB membership have no clue what TOS means (I had guessed it stood for "Talking-Of-Sex"), there are bound to be even more members who have no clue whatsoever how to boost or deflate a poster's reputation, or even what Rep Power is and how other little things on forums work.

                If there's a sticky with all this, it needs a bump or two.

                    I don't think you can deflate a poster's rep. I think they removed that option..it was "negative rep" and you can't do that on this board.

                          don't forget when we went to the new software all the old counts went to 0 so folk who were here before the big change and read the TOS didn't get carried over.

                          Also the TOS was accidnetly deleted in the moved so the topic was new to our board when it was added again

                            can we safely say there is no reason for any member not to be reading the terms of service at this point? i mentioned how to get there, it's in an announcement, it's in this thread. other things about how this board works can be found in the technical section of the board.

                              So does that mean there can be no more posting to current threads like "Why making love is better with Atkins"?
