* Use of your account is expressly limited to you. Your account may not be transferred or shared with any other party, temporarily or permanently.

* Freejinger.org access is limited to persons age 18 and over.

* You agree to bear sole responsibility for all use of your account and for the confidentiality of your password.

* You agree to provide an accurate email address. Freejinger.org may, at its sole discretion, suspend any account that is found to contain an invalid email address.

* Free Jinger does not allow accounts to be registered using a proxy server or VPN. Accounts registered using either a proxy server or a VPN will be deleted without any notice. If you have a compelling reason to use a proxy or VPN, please contact an admin and your reason will be considered on a case by case basis.

* Users are not permitted to have as avatars any picture or image containing symbols of hate. A symbol of hate is a symbol that has been appropriated by, or is identified with, groups or organizations that have perpetuated violence against marginalized peoples. An example of such a symbol would be the swastika. Flags of countries and religious symbols are not considered symbols of hate, regardless of how much you may disagree with the ideas and policies of a country or religion. Other examples of symbols of hate can be found here
Users can of course discuss such symbols in posts, but we ask that you put the image under a spoiler

*Hate speech is not allowed on Free Jinger. Hate speech is defined as speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits. There will be ONE warning given for violation of this rule. If that warning is ignored, the member will be placed on an indefinite Journey To The Heart until they realize they are not the special snowflakes they think they are.

* Members found to be copying posts (other than their own) from any restricted sections of Free Jinger to other blogs, forums, Facebook, twitter or other forms of internet media will have their privileges from those restricted areas revoked. We have memberships and privacy settings for a reason.

If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure (for example, in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your ID, you must promptly change your password and notify FreeJinger.org of the problem

III. Rules of Board Behavior

The following behaviors are in violation of our terms of use. By viewing and/or participating at FreeJinger.org, you acknowledge that you may encounter material you find offensive. FreeJinger.org disclaims any responsibility or liability for such material.

* Content that infringes upon any rights (including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks.) However, any content that falls under fair use, defined as any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. may be used without permission from the copyright owner per US Law.

* Pornography, nudity, or overtly graphic photographic material or videos on the forum. Links that are clearly labeled "Not Safe for Work" or "NSFW" are allowed. Discussion of sex, sexuality and relationships are allowed and expected.

* Sock puppet accounts, or accounts attempting to evade ban

* Knowingly posting private, identifying information about another FreeJinger.org member and linking it to their FJ identity, (including but not limited to last name, address, phone number, email, or the full names of family members) without the express permission of the FJ member whose information has been disclosed.

* Posting private, identifying information about an individual, including addresses and phone numbers that are not available via public resources (ie court documents, news articles)

* Any member who posts the real life identity of another FJ member, or compiles ‘clues’ about a FJ member"s identity and posts them here or anywhere else on the internet; including Facebook or Twitter, will be banned. Any member who participates in this type of "outing" or "doxing" will be banned. In addition to being banned and having the reason for your banning announced on FJ to general scorn and derision, be aware that you may also be subject to criminal prosecution. There are numerous state and federal laws against publishing private information for the purposes of harassing, stalking, causing financial harm, or inciting violence against others. So before you decide to indulge in some on-line stupidity, remember that there may be real life consequences. There is probably nothing anyone will post here that will offend you to so much that you will need to indulge in behavior that could result in a fine or jail time. Use common sense.

Engaging in the behavior listed above will result in banning from any properties owned or controlled by Free Jinger LLC.

Free Jinger is considered a “free speech zone” and as such may contain vulgar language, discussion of topics that might be offensive to some, and topics that could potentially trigger victims of patriarchy, sexual assault or abuse, and cultic religious systems. Moderators and administrators will not censor posts unless they violate the above terms.

IV. PM System

‘Private Messages’ are a function of the forums which allow a member to post messages to another member or group of members away from the public view. Abuse of PM’s (defined as any violation of the TOU via PM) will result in a suspension or outright ban from sending any Private Message on the forum, no leniency will be provided.

Like any other message in our forum, these messages are stored in the forum’s database. While these messages are considered private and personal, they are not considered secret from the staff. The administrators (which means only the board owner and the Tech Admin, NOT all admins or any mods or other helpmeets) are able to view these messages if so required by law enforcement agencies or in cases where illegal activities or severe rule infringement is reported or reasonably suspected.

Just to clarify, these messages are considered private and confidential, and the administrative staff will respect your privacy in the use of this function while at the same time insuring the safety and comfort of all members. If we need to see your PMs, we will be able to see them, if we don’t need to see them, we won’t. You have a reasonable expectation of privacy here, but not to the degree that it will become a risk or liability to the Staff or other members here. We will view your PMs under the above described circumstances, and will only act on PMs directly related to the matter we are investigating. All others will be left alone. Your PM inbox is not going to be Sunday afternoon reading material for a bored Admin. We understand and agree with the ethics of such a situation and it will not happen.

V. IP Logging

If you post on these forums, your IP address will be logged for the purposes of banning you or contacting your ISP, these actions will only be triggered by severe violations of this agreement.
