Modification of RTAW Rules, Policies and Disclaimers

Postby davez104 » Mon 12 Jul, 2010 10:15 am

This is to notify all users of a few changes to the RTAW forum rules. Changes are outlined below, but refer here for the full forum rules. Please ensure you are familiar with them as they form part of the terms and conditions that you agree to abide by as a user of these forums.

1: is a modification of the commercial posting guidelines to exclude ALL selling in the general forums.

8. With the exception of the Commercial Forum(s), RTAW is a non-commercial bulletin board. Therefore, posts of a commercial nature (as explained below) are limited to the Commercial Forum(s). See the Commercial Guidelines below for further information on commercial posting.

See the Commercial Guidelines below for further information on commercial posting. Selling of hobbyist items is restricted to the classifieds section of the forum, no selling at all is allowed in the general forums.



2: is just an adjustment to the wording of the rule to clarify the process for dealing with objectionable posts.


3. Considering the real-time nature of RTAW, 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 MASA or any entity associated with MASA. 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 realise that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.
