13.1 Message Board Usage Policy
Using the discussion boards on Astromart can be helpful and entertaining. People learn about their collective interests, and meet new friends on the boards. We have one type of discussion board on Astromart. The Category specific boards that comprise the Astro Café. For all boards, the messages posted by members are solely the opinion and responsibility of the person posting the message. Astromart is not responsible for postings by non-Astromart employees. The following are cause for suspension from the boards or possibly Astromart, depending upon the nature of the posting: Posting contact information about another individual, including their real-world name, address, or phone number. Using profanity or hate speech. Posting material (graphic or text) of an adult nature. Posting information about another on-line astronomy classified and/or auction service. Using JavaScript in posts. We recommend that you do not copy personal correspondence on the board without the permission of all parties involved in the correspondence. We also recommend that you do not post any private information about yourself, such as your password, credit card number, contact information, or billing account information. Our policy is that no business may be conducted on the boards. Those boards are available for you to discuss your collecting interests or to be social. The use of this discussion board for buying, selling or trading will not be tolerated. Violations may result in the elimination of this discussion board and/or in the suspension of board privileges for offenders. You may ask questions about an item and post the item number. However, you may not blatantly advertise items that you are selling. When you are using the boards, remember that you are responsible for your own words. Please consider your message carefully before submitting it.
13.2 Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms:
The nature of the Internet causes your classified ads to cross local, regional, state, federal and international boundaries. Thus, there is great exposure to inadvertently violating Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm rules, regulations and laws. Ads containing any reference to Alcohol, Tobacco or Firearms will be deleted and are cause for immediate, and permanent, access restrictions to Astromart.
