1.4 WELL Policy Regarding Censorship Hosts of conferences, in the community interest, may delete a comment, but may not edit it. The WELL's administration does not and will not impose explicit rules upon hosts governing such deletions. To do that would, we believe, undermine the freedom of hosts to exercise their creativity in handling their conferences. Hosts are also empowered, under duress, and with a warning, to ban a nuisance member from their conference. Nevertheless, because hosts are not always present online, or necessarily knowledgeable, they cannot be held responsible for damaging comments that may appear in their conferences.
Responsibility rests with the writer.
The WELL reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, and termination of a WELL account should not be construed as censorship. Member's Agreement in the policy conference, topic 214, or online in the Policy Front Pages .
