About contributing to the Bradford Bulls Foundation (BBF) site
Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant. We're committed
to providing an atmosphere in which friendly and mature dialogue takes
place. Therefore:
No flaming. Flaming means sending unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, racially offensive, or otherwise objectionable material, and it is not acceptable.
Swear words will be ****d out. The moderators will **** out the entire word, except for the first and last letters.
No spamming or flooding. Spamming is the posting of the same (or very similar) messages to lots of forums. Flooding is when the same (or a very similar) message is posted over and over again to the same conversation. It's especially antisocial if it's off-topic for those forums. If you do this, we will remove your postings, and possibly your account.
Please think carefully before revealing personal information on the site. You may include your own personal email address in postings, but please remember that people may use it to send emails you don't want to receive, like adverts or offensive material. If you are sure that you want people to be able to contact you like this, we recommend you set up a new email account specifically for this purpose. If you are under 16, please do not reveal any personal information.
It is not acceptable to publicise anyone else's contact details other than your own, and we will remove any postal addresses or telephone numbers from postings. However, it is acceptable to include general contact details for organisations, for example, but you must only include publicly available details, such as the address of library or museum.
Be patient. Users of all ages and abilities will be taking part in the community.
No advertising.
Posts containing languages other than English may be removed.
Impersonating someone else is unacceptable, as is adopting an inappropriate screen name (one that is vulgar, offensive, etc.)
Please use only appropriate and suitable URLs (website addresses) in your postings. Links to pornography, commercial services or other inappropriate content will be deleted at our discretion. Any URLs you include will be checked by a moderator.
Please don't abuse the complaints system. It exists to enable visitors to let us know about content which breaks these rules. Please do not use the complaints system to alert us to multiple postings, spelling mistakes and so on. Anyone who abuses the complaints system repeatedly may have their account suspended.
You own the copyright in your postings, articles and pictures, but you also agree to grant the BBF a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicenseable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, play, and exercise all copyright and publicity rights with respect to any such work worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any media now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content, consistent with privacy restrictions set forth in the BBF's Privacy Policy.
If you do not wish to grant such rights to the BBF, it is suggested that you do not submit your contribution to this site.
By submitting your contribution to this site, you also warrant that such contribution is:
- your own original work and that you have the right to make it available to the BBF for all the purposes specified above
- is not defamatory
- does not infringe any law
You also agree to indemnify the BBF against all legal fees, damages and other expenses that may be incurred by the BBF as a result of your breach of the above warranty.
You also agree to waive any moral rights in your contribution for the purposes of its submission to and publication on the BBF site and the other purposes specified above.
You may not post any defamatory or illegal material of any nature. This includes text, graphics, video, and/or audio. Posting a message with the intention of committing or condoning an illegal act is strictly prohibited.
You may not violate, plagiarise, or infringe on the rights of third parties including copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy, personal, publicity, or proprietary rights. Where appropriate, we recommend that you seek permission to share the stories of the people your articles are based on.
If there is any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and/or specific terms appearing elsewhere on this site relating to specific material then the latter shall prevail.
Our registration process requires you to supply us with your email details, but we will only use this information to validate your access to the discussions and for other service administration purposes.
The BBF may wish to pass on the editorial contents of the site, but not your personal registration details, to a reputable third party, if it is deemed necessary to store the information as part of the creation of a national archive.
The BBF complies with the 1998 Data Protection Act.
Please get permission from your parent or guardian before taking part in any BBFi discussion.
Never reveal any personal information about yourself (for example: your telephone number, mobile phone number, school name, home address or email address).
