Message Boards (forums) and Chat Rooms

  1. Although The Site may from time to time monitor or review discussions, chats, postings, transmissions, bulletin boards, and the like on the Site, The Site is under no obligation to do so and assumes no responsibility or liability arising from the content of any such locations nor for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. The Site will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing The Site to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
  2. Spamming is not allowed. Postings designed simply to drive traffic to another site or to sell a product (note exception below) will be promptly removed. Our visitors are looking for information, not self promotion. Please feel free to answer any questions you like in an informative and helpful manner. But simple postings designed entirely to give you a link or free advertising will be deleted (note exception below).
  3. The message boards are an area where the exchange of bass fishing information is free and forthcoming. Selling products is part of that exchange so we have created a Classifieds board just for that purpose. Multiple postings by the same advertiser (spamming) will not be tolerated and appropriate action will be taken to remove and prevent offenders from posting again. We encourage you to notify us when your ad is out of date so that we may remove it. In addition, if you wish to update or create another ad, please notify us so that we may remove your old ad.
