Those things aren't on every web site. None of the forums I use regularly have such a thing, nor do they appear to need to.

I still don't see what problem it is that you're trying to solve. Why do you think we need it?

They are simply terms of use, and agreements.. All professional web sites have them somewhere..

And once again I ask, what problem are you trying to solve? Why do you think this site needs it? We've managed just fine so far, or is there some problem that we're not aware of?

If it is to be introduced here, it will I assume be applicable to all new members, and existing members.

Dani ... are you planning to introduce this on your site?

I like it because it protects the website from things. We don't monitor the site 24/7/365, so sometimes stuff that shouldn't be here gets posted.

Exactly, people could use the images on this site, and logo for thier own purposes..

Can the site admin please give her opionion so we can put this thread to a rest..

I'm sorry ... I originally meant to reply days ago but something came up in the middle of my post, and I closed down the window and forgot all about it. Days later I thought I posted already.

I certainly don't think that all of the legal mumbo jumbo is necessary for a community such as this one - at least not yet At this time, nothing has gotten out of hand and ... basically, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

However, I took your opinions into consideration and decided to include a link to a Privacy Policy in the footer. The contents of this policy are actually the default registration agreement for the phpBB bulletin board software. However, instead of users being presented with this policy upon registering, it's simply an unobtrusive link.

It basically states that you shouldn't use vulgarity, do illegal activities, etc etc on this website; That moderators and administrators may alter or remove your posts at their disgression; As well as exactly what user information is collected in our database and that we won't distribute this information to 3rd parties.
