Considering the real-time nature of this BB it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we at WindowsBBS.com do not actively monitor the content and are not responsible and can not vouch or warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any message. All messages/posts are the express views of the author.
Please do not use any profanity or sexually explicit language anywhere on this BB. Our profanity filter should catch most of this but, any action which subverts this rule using special characters and or other methods is considered Abuse and a violation of these rules.
If we elect to terminate your BB member account and or invoke any of our Abuse Procedures for your rules violations on this BB and you return to this BB and post under another member name, you are in violation of our rules. An individual/person may only obtain/use a SINGLE member account on this BB.
Cross posting is forbidden. Pushing threads is forbidden.
WindowsBBS Forums is a "Community". A friendly place where members help each other. We encourage the use of a "signature" which must be consistent and comply with all of our rules. If your main purpose in joining our Community is to extract traffic to your own site or any site, please don't join. We carefully review all posts. If we determine that ANY of your actions on the BB are driven by the desire to extract traffic from this BB, we will immediately invoke our Abuse procedures.
Although WindowsBBS.com does not and cannot review all the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we reserve the right to delete any message/topic/thread for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless WindowsBBS.com and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). We also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.

Certain sections of this site log and/or display your IP number. IP numbers are not secret and have been used for years. Every site you visit logs and often displays your IP number. We use this procedure for your protection as well as our own. It helps us protect our members from abuse, provides us with the additional evidence to aggressively pursue "Abusers", and acts as a deterrent for "Abusers". If you use a Broadband connection to the Web such as Cable or DSL, you should install a firewall on your system to protect it from third party abuse. If our IP procedures still make you nervous or are inconsistent with your wishes, please leave our site and do not return.
We will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on us or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of us and our Web site(s); and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our users, our web sites, or the public.
Do NOT use a "free" email provider (or a "Web based" email provider). We do not accept those. Please use the email address provided by your ISP. This policy is in place to reduce Abuse on our Bulletin Board.
