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. Respect the security of our system. Do not try to gain access to system areas private to ourselves, or to other callers.
Some callers try to crack system security just to show it can be done.
Don't try to demonstrate this on our system. We offer private electronic mail on our system as a service to our callers. For example, if we have reason to believe a caller is involved in illegal activities, which creates a risk that our system could be seized by the authorities, we will review his or her electronic mail for our own protection. We will not, however, monitor electronic mail unless we believe it is being misused. We will not deliberately disclose electronic mail to other callers.
