Reminder about privacy on the board

[Leon]

I want to remind everyone about anonymity and privacy on the board. First of all "anonymity" where the board is concerned is when a poster is not known, to the other moderators or myself, with USER ID, real full name and a good day time phone number. That is not allowed at all.

Then there is privacy on the board where posting is concerned. You can remain private on the board, only having a USER ID in your posts, if you only talk about the hobby and generally benign stuff AS WELL AS you don't get into any arguments or confrontations. You may not disparage a company or person and remain private. You also can not say how good a company is or how poor one is....or give much of an opinion on folks or companies, without being well known or having your full name in your posts. You ARE welcome to use a symbol of a letter in your name as long as your name is very easily decipherable. That is so Google or other searches won't pick up your posts. That being said it's worth mentioning that everyone on the board is legally liable for what they say. The other moderators or myself are not liable for what others say. These easy rules will not be changing. If you can say something then you can stand behind it, or not say it? Thanks for your understanding.
