    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.

    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) Respect the intellectual property of others and provide off-site links to any document you quote here.

    8 ) Have fun! You have found a fantastic board with tons of great people. Take advantage of your find, dive in and enjoy!
