FORUM GUIDELINES

DISCLAIMERS:

  • JCCA forums are for the JCCA community’s peer-to-peer discussions.
  • Self-promotion is not allowed. Users are not allowed to create false or multiple identities with malicious intent, i.e. posting incorrectly or claiming false credentials. Likewise, if we find a single user has created multiple accounts to self-promote or advance their reputation within the community, we have right to remove said account(s) from the forums.
  • JCCA may make changes to the site content, the license terms for text, or these guidelines at any time.
  • JCCA reserves the right to move (to a more appropriate forum) or remove any posts that it deems inaccurate, inappropriate, offensive, or prohibited under these guidelines. JCCA also reserves the right to eject or permanently ban a user who behaves in any manner it deems inappropriate, offensive, or prohibited under these guidelines.
  • This web site may include contributions from various sources over which JCCA has no control (including any content submitted by third party users and links to third party sites) and, therefore, JCCA is not responsible for such contributions and such contributions do not necessarily represent the opinions or positions of JCCA.
