BGTIME.org encourages a free and open exchange of ideas in a climate of mutual respect. BGTIME.org welcomes your participation in our online discussion and comment posting systems. We hope this forum offers you the chance to interact with our seniors, students and each other.

In order to keep these forums enjoyable and interesting for all of our users, we ask simply that you follow these minimal rules. These rules are only a minimum; in addition to complying with these rules, we ask that you also exercise common sense and generally be considerate toward your fellow users. By participating either in our online discussion and comment posting systems, you are consenting to these rules.

1. You agree that you are fully responsible for the content that you post. You will not knowingly post content that violates the copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property right of any third party and that you will remove the same should you discover that you have violated this provision. Likewise, you may not post content that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, that violates a third party's right to privacy, that otherwise violates any applicable local, state, national or international law, or that is otherwise inappropriate. You will indemnify BGTIME, Central Carolina Community Foundation, its employees, agents, partners, and affiliates from any and all claims and/or damages (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from any claim brought by any third party relating to content you have posted.

2. You understand and agree that BGTIME.org is not responsible for any content posted by third parties. You further understand that BGTIME.org does not and cannot review all content prior to its posting. Keep in mind that more than likely you will read a post before BGTIME.org staff. Nevertheless, BGTIME.org may monitor the discussion forums as it chooses and reserves the right (but assumes no obligations) to remove, edit or otherwise alter content that it deems inappropriate for any reason without obtaining anyone's consent. We further reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove a user's privilege to post content in our discussion forums.
