Below are some of the items listed in the terms of use. When you post please make sure that you conply with the terms of use. Any post that does not comply will be deleted.

Bulletin Boards/Message Boards/Forums and Chat Rooms

You are welcome to post, transmit or submit messages and other materials (which include uploading files, inputting data or any other materials or engaging in any form of communication in connection with this website) (collectively “Messages”) to bulletin boards, chat rooms or other public areas within, or in connection with, this website (collectively “Forums”). However, LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC accepts no responsibility whatsoever in connection with or arising from such Messages.

LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC does not endorse and has no control over the content of Messages submitted by others to Forums. Messages submitted to Forums are not necessarily reviewed by LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC prior to posting and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC. LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the content of the Messages in the Forums or the accuracy and reliability of any Messages and other materials in the Forums. Nonetheless, LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC reserves the right to prevent you from submitting Materials to Forums and to edit, restrict, or remove such Messages for any reason at any time.

LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC assumes no responsibility for actively monitoring Forums for inappropriate Messages. If at any time LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Forums, LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the content of the Messages, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Messages, and no responsibility for the conduct of the user submitting any Message. In submitting Messages to Forums, you agree to strictly limit yourself to discussions about the subject matter for which the Forums are intended. You agree that LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC accepts no liability whatsoever if it determines to prevent your Messages from being submitted or if it edits, restricts or removes your Messages. You also agree to permit any other user of this Website to access, view, store, or reproduce the material for that other user’s personal use and not to restrict or inhibit the use of the website by any other person.

This is not a SLAM site and the Forums should be used constructively. Messages (anonymous or not) accusing anyone (including political candidates) of wrong doing (and/or criminal accusations) without substantial proof or reference are subject to deletion. Use your REAL name unless the need for an Anonymous Message is warranted. Messages not requiring Anonymous status, but being abused, are subject to deletion by System Moderators. Anonymous Messages are not granted the same right to exist that properly identified Messages are. Failure to comply can result in Message deletion and/or access blockage.

There are two (2) ways to post in the Message Boards: 1) anonymously as a Guest [when warranted] and 2) while logged on as a Member under your username. If you create an account for yourself on this system which consists of you creating a username that you will be identified by, personal information such as your name will not be asked of you in the signup process (you will need to list an email address though). Members who post will have the ability to edit and/or delete postings they make as long as they were logged on under their username when making the post (and assuming they remember their name and password in order to access the site to do so). Guest posters will not have the ability to edit and/or delete postings after they are made, so please think carefully before making a post as an anonymous (Guest) user. LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC staff will also not be able to edit and/or delete the post for you unless it violates the Terms of Use (one of the reasons why is because you will not be able to prove that you authored the post).

Here’s an opportunity to voice your opinion, ask questions, become more informed, make a stand or engage in a healthy debate.

You agree that you will not submit Messages to Forums that:

? are unlawful, threatening, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent, including any communication that constitutes (or encourages conduct that would constitute) a criminal offense, gives rise to civil liability, or otherwise violates any local, state, national, or international law;

? violate the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any other person. By submitting Messages to Forums, you represent to LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC that you are the rightful owner of such material or that you have first obtained permission to submit the material from the rightful owner;

? improperly assume or claim the identity, characteristics, or qualifications of another person;

? are for purposes of spamming;

? contain any virus or other harmful component;

? are libelous, or an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or any other third party rights; or

? are for commercial purposes or contain advertising or are intended to solicit a person to buy or sell services or to make donations.


You agree that any Message whatsoever submitted by you becomes the property of LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed, published, displayed, or deleted as LEOAFFAIRS.COM, LLC sees fit.
