This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement. Also note that the software places a cookie, a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password), in your browsers cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out.

Content Notice: You agree that all content on the 'Digital' Message Boards is the responsibility of the person from which the content originated. You agree that neither 'Digital' nor its sponsors or affiliates are responsible for all content that you personally post or upload. 'Digital' does not directly control any content posted on the boards, and does not guarantee the truthfulness or quality of any content. You agree that while using the 'Digital' message boards, you may be exposed to content that is offensive or objectionable, and that you will in no way hold 'Digital' nor its sponsors or affiliates liable in anyway, shape, or form for any harm or loss that may come to you as a result of viewing this content. 'Digital' nor its staff is responsible for the screening of content before it is posted. --- Member Conduct: You agree that you will not use this service to perform the following actions. 1. Offensive language Offensive language is considered, but not limited to: a) Posts containing vulgar, profane, or sexually explicit language. b) Uses race, religion, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, handicap, or gender as a means of insult. c) Contains threatening, harassing, defamatory, hate-speech, or libelous language. 2. Flaming Flaming is considered (but not limited to): a) Posting a message that personally insults another message board member. (You are free to disagree with the opinions of other people, but do it in a civilized manner.) b) We will also consider any post intended to annoy and/or offend other members with the intent to start a flame war. Here-by known as a post with intent to flame. (\"Rant Room\" is the only exception to this rule.) 3. Going off Topic If somebody is talking about big block engines and you chime in saying monkey\'s are funny, you are way off topic. We will allow some flexibility with this sense some of the best discussions can branch out from others, but it is easy to tell when something is completely off topic. 4. Spamming Spamming is considered, but not limited to: a) Posting web site advertisements.(Simple english: Do not post links to other forums. Do not post sites that have forums on them. Do not post these links in your signature, or any where on the board. The only exception is the \"WWW & Links\" section, but that is common sense.) b) For-Sale/For-Trade/For-Auction notices. c) "Make Money Fast" schemes. d) Chain letters. e) Pyramid schemes f) Other posts generally regarded as unsolicited advertising or that are to be used for commercial gain. g) Including a web site address in a signature is acceptable, as long as it is evident that you are contributing content in the body of your message posts. 5. Disruptive Activities a) Posting multiple identical messages (either on the same board or on multiple boards), blank messages, messages with no or repeated content, and messages or topics with very long words designed to disrupt other users' browsers. 6. Unauthorized Access Accessing or attempting to access other user accounts not belonging to the user in question without permission. Accessing another user's account in this manner is grounds for immediate loss of all known accounts. 7. Other: Any other activity that is clearly detrimental to the flow of conversation and life of the boards. --- Shared & Multiple IP addresses/Accounts While it is acceptable for users to maintain multiple accounts, on a shared IP address at 'Digital', we can and do track multiple shared accounts from a single or multiple computers as one account in terms of TOS violations. If the TOS is violated severely enough to warrant the banning of one account or IP address, all known shared accounts can also be banned for the actions of the violating IP at the administrators' discretion. (Because of this rule, it is highly recommended that board users do not share their accounts with others, as the actions of some other person could easily directly impact all known shared message board accounts.) Privacy & Release Info Under normal circumstances, 'Digital' will never release your provided information to any third party without a court-order requiring us to do so. However, in cases of certain severe and/or repeated TOS violations, we reserve the right to forward any and all known information about you and your accounts to your ISP (including libraries, schools, and places of employment), e-mail service provider, your ISP account owner (if someone else is actually paying for it), any parties whose copyright has clearly been infringed by your actions on the boards, and any other relevant parties. Please note that this -RARELY- is ever used, we respect the privacy of each user and we assure you that all of your information is quite safe on 'Digital'. Registering Roleplay Characters And Remember... If you're creating a role play character, try to keep it down to only 1-9 characters max at most 12, we dont want people creating characters and not using any of them... And try to claim characters evenly, dont grab all of the main characters, try to get some villans, too. =) Accounts that will remain unused (0 Posts) for more than a month will be deleted regulary.
