Registration Terms & Rules
In order to proceed, you must agree to the following:
Considering the real-time nature of the USaviation.com Message Boards, 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 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 USaviation.com or any entity associated with USaviation.com. 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 we 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 the USaviation.com Message Boards 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 violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by USaviation.com.
A ZERO TOLERANCE policy in place in regards to postings that are arguably defamatory displaying intent to draw ridicule, possibly being untrue, and damaging to a person's reputation. If any postings fall within this criteria, they will be deleted without hesitation.
Although USaviation.com does not and cannot review the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at USaviation.com reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless USaviation.com and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).
We at USaviation.com also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.
Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on the Message Boards.
Nowhere in the "Terms" do I see the rule, "Thou shalt not speak out against a moderator" However, I assume that since NYCBusdriver basically called you a "Barney Fife", that violates the rule against doing damage to a person's reputation? Would that be correct? I am in not advocating bashing moderators, just simply want clarification on the rules here since it seems many people here are allowed to bash each other at will with much worse language. I am sure NYCBusdriver could have found a better way to get his point across if he thought you were being heavy handed with your authority. However, I believe he should have been given a stern warning prior to being booted considering the above "Terms" and the lack of punishment for seemingly much worse bashing that has taken place in other threads.
Sincerely,
