In particular, if you dislike someone else's ideas, you can attack the ideas, but not the person. We want people to speak freely on our system. But if you misuse that freedom to abuse others, we will take the liberty of cutting that discussion short. Do not use our system for anything that might be illegal. This system may not be used to encourage anything to do with illegal drugs, gambling, pornography, prostitution, child pornography, robbery, spreading computer viruses, cracking into private computer systems, software infringement, trafficking in credit card codes, or other crimes.
People sometimes have trouble figuring out whether certain activities are illegal.
It's usually not that hard. Using a bulletin board system to commit a crime does not make it less of a crime. In fact, if you use a bulletin board system to commit a crime, you're exposing the operators of the system, and its other callers, to legal risks that should be yours alone. If you genuinely do not know whether something you'd like to do is legal or illegal, please discuss it with us before you proceed. And if we tell you we do not want you to pursue your plans on our system, please respect our decision.
