My ban is over but that doesn’t mean I can edit like I was earlier. I have to follow the rules set forth by MOD1, SYSOP and Terms of Use (TOU). With that being said, there is nothing in the TOU that prohibits the use of names but the context in which those names are used that can make a post a violation, or not. According to the TOU, the following would justify an edit when posts 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 Bright Mountain® 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.


With my limitations listed above, I will edit when I can but based on the above TOU, it won’t be to often. It would be helpful if you guys stopped using this site for the sole purpose to slam, but unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. However, I again ask that you take the time and think before you write something negative. You wouldn’t want something written about you, right? So PLEASE stop.


**Captain, thanks for stepping up too. It's helpful that you're responding to certain posts to reduce the "haters" bullshit.
