OT: Sharing Information/ ToS

[Guest guest]

Just to clarify 's position on this subject.

 

There are hard and fast () rules on forwarding posts.

By starting a the Owner agrees to abide by 's Terms

Of Service. Within the ToS sets out Group GuideLines

(Found here /local/guidelines.html )

See item 11.

There is no room for maneuver (nor are there legal issues) around the

TOS. They are in place and you either accept them - or don't start a

group. If you start a group and ignore the TOS has the rights

(and uses them) to simply delete the group if a TOS violation is

brought to their attention. The *brought to their attention " is the

crux of the matter; many groups have operated for years in violation

of TOS and nothing happens because are not aware of it.

 

Because of a recent issue with Freecycle also issued this statement -

 

" values our users and their content. Per the

Guidelines, which we've instituted to protect our users', no one can

re-post or re-transmit content that belongs to another user without

that user's permission. A owner or moderator (or any

other user) cannot re-post or re-transmit Groups content to any other

site unless the person has the explicit permission of every group

member whose content is being re-posted or re-transmitted " .
