Rules
of Online Behavior
When
writing your messages,
please use the same courtesy that you would show when speaking face-to-face
with someone. Flames, insults, personal attacks, sarcasm, and allegations
of illegal or secret activities absent appropriate proof will not be tolerated.
It's fine to disagree strongly with opinions, ideas, and facts, but always
with respect for the other person.
Note that messages express
the thoughts of the writers, not the board or its moderators.
HCC reserves the right
to monitor said content and to remove any objectionable material at any time,
in our sole discretion. By participating in message boards, chat rooms, or
any other services provided by HCC, you acknowledge that you may encounter
material that you find offensive. HCC disclaims any responsibility for said
material.
By participating in any
service of HCC, you agree not to:
HCC disclaims all liability
for messages appearing on message boards, comments made in chat rooms, Web
pages hosted by HCC, and other materials created by HCC users. HCC has no
responsibility for such content and is merely providing access to such content
as a service to you.
By participating in HCC
services, you agree not to impersonate any person or entity or falsely represent
your affiliation with any person or entity.
Message boards, Web pages,
and other services provided by HCC may not be used for unauthorized electronic
commerce. Use of any HCC's services, including but not limited to message
boards and Web pages, for the sale of products or services (including participation
in any affiliate program other than that operated by HCC) is prohibited.
If, in the sole discretion
of HCC, you are found to be using HCC for any inappropriate commercial purpose,
and/or not following the general online guidelines outlined above,
HCC reserves the right to take action to end said activity. This action
may include dismissal from a course and/or the college.
By posting on message boards,
participating in chat rooms, or creating any other content, you will be deemed
to have granted HCC perpetual, non-exclusive permission to redistribute by
transmission the information or materials worldwide without charge or liability.
You participate in and/or
operate message boards, chat rooms, and/or other HCC features at your own
risk. If you are unhappy with the contents and/or operation of a message board
and/or chat room, your only recourse is to contact the host or Web site that
operates said service(s). If you are dissatisfied with any feature, operability,
contents, this agreement, other agreements HCC imposes as a condition of usage,
or any other component of the HCC Web site, your sole remedy is to discontinue
use HCC services.
