Monitoring and Terms Violations
Other Half Entertainment will monitor posted messages; however, we are not responsible for their content. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness, of any information presented. The messages express the views of the author, not necessarily those of Other Half Entertainment. Other Half Entertainment reserves the right to edit or remove objectionable content within a reasonable time frame if we determine that such removal is necessary. This is a manual process however, so it must be understood that we may not be able to remove or edit offensive messages immediately. Consistent violators of these Rules of Conduct and Terms of Use are subject to permanent denial of access to the Forum. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution stipulates only that the Government is not permitted to censor speech; however, this rule does not apply to private companies. This means that any online services of any type, including LauraBraniganOnline, can edit or delete any post that is considered to constitute a violation of the Rules of Conduct and Terms of Use, and/or offensive to other Forum users, without notice to the offending member. Additionally, any action taken by Other Half Entertainment, such as post editing or deleting, or temporary or permanent revocation of a user's posting privileges, is solely at the discretion and time frame of Other Half Entertainment. Other Half Entertainment reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary toward any communication on the Forum, or toward any member of the Forum, at any time, for any reason.
