CHAT ROOMS AND FORUMS
The Loop wants to encourage an open exchange of information and ideas. However, The Loop cannot and does not review every posting made in the Bulletin Board or any chat rooms, forums, and other public posting areas. You can expect these areas to include information and opinions from a variety of individuals and organizations other than The Loop and its staff. The Loop does not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of any posting, regardless of whether the posting comes from a user, from a celebrity or "expert" guest, or from a member of our staff.
Responsibility for what is posted in the Bulletin Board or chat rooms, forums, and other public posting areas on the Site lies with each user - you alone are responsible for material you post. By using the Site you agree not to post or transmit any defamatory, abusive, obscene, threatening or illegal material, or any other material that infringes on the ability of others to enjoy the Site or that infringes on the rights of others. The Loop retains the right to deny access to anyone who it believes has violated these terms or any other term found in this Terms of Use.
Although The Loop cannot monitor all the postings in the Bulletin Board, chat rooms, forums, and other public areas, The Loop reserves the right (but assume no obligation) to delete, move, or edit any postings that it considers unacceptable or inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons. The Loop will not, in the ordinary course of business, review private electronic messages that are not addressed to The Loop. However, The Loop will comply with the requirements of the law regarding disclosure of such messages to others, including law enforcement agencies.
