Forum

EditRED.com provides an online forum for users to discuss matters related to writing, publishing and creativity. EditRED specifically disclaims any responsibility or liability for any content in the forum, and reserves the right to delete, move or edit content, in whole or in part, submitted to the forum, that it, in its sole discretion, deems abusive, defamatory, obscene, in violation of intellectual property, privacy, or other proprietary rights, in violation or these terms and conditions, or for any other reason. You agree that by submitting content to a forum you will abide by the following rules:

1. Exercise common sense and be considerate toward fellow EditRED users. Diversity of opinion and intelligent civil discourse is encouraged; by the same token, insults and “flaming” are not tolerated. Disagreeing with an idea of another community member is not the same as attacking that individual.

2. You alone are responsible for the material you post. You will not knowingly post content or links to content that violates the copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party and that you will remove the same should you discover that you have violated this provision. Likewise, you may not post content or links to content that is libelous, defamatory, offensive, obscene, racist, abusive, that violates a third party's right to privacy, that otherwise violates any applicable local, state, national or international law, or that is otherwise inappropriate. You will indemnify EditRED, its employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims and/or damages (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from any claim brought by any third party relating to content you have posted.

3. It is important that members recognize the real-time nature of these forums; the moderators cannot always monitor the contents of posted messages. As such, we depend upon you to inform them when members are violating our rules. If someone is harassing you, or posting inappropriately, do not respond. Contact support at support@editred.com immediately

4. EditRED reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor the content of the forums to determine compliance with all sections of this Agreement and any other operating rules established by us. We shall have the right in our sole discretion to edit, refuse to post, remove, or otherwise alter any material submitted to or posted on the chats or forums. Without limiting the foregoing, we shall have the right to remove any material that we, in our sole discretion, find to be in violation of this agreement or inappropriate for any reason whatever without consent.

5. Notwithstanding all of the foregoing, users remain solely responsible for the content of their messages.

6. We further reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reward people who persistently abuse the forum with immediate deactivation of their profile without notice. Further attempts will result in our contacting your ISP with a complaint.
