Message Rules

Posting messages and comments is free! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below.

We welcome your participation in our Discussion Forums and Article Comment threads. We encourage you to analyze, comment on and even challenge Actingbiz.com's articles, reviews and multimedia features. It is our hope that you'll take the opportunity to interact with other Actingbiz.com users and the authors, editors and management of Actingbiz.com.

Although the administrators and moderators will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author and the owners of Actingbiz.com will not be held responsible for the content of any message.

If you feel that a posted message is objectionable, you are encouraged to contact us immediately. 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 at our sole discretion that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

The owners of Actingbiz.com reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason. We reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.

In order to keep these experiences enjoyable and interesting for all of our users, we ask that you follow the rules outlined below. By participating in our discussion forums, or by submitting comments to articles, reviews or multimedia features, you are consenting to these rules.

Comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsigned or contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author will be removed. Finally, we will take steps to block users who violate any of our posting standards, terms of use or privacy policies or any other policies governing this site.
