Note the following guidelines when using ChiefMonster message boards:
|
|
•
|
ChiefMonster members use Screen Names when participating in forums. |
|
-
|
To create or change your Screen Name edit your Account Profile. |
|
-
|
Your Screen Name is the only thing that identifies you in a forum. Other members will not have access to your email address or other personal information unless you give it to them.
|
|
•
|
Monster bans forum participants that use inappropriate or offensive language and automatically removes postings it deems to be offensive. |
|
You can be banned three times before your account is disabled. If you are banned, you are immediately removed from the forum and will receive an email with information about why you were banned and the date that the ban ends. You will be unable to add future posts until the ban is over.
Users who repeatedly post inappropriate material will be permanently banned from the site. Only active bans will be counted towards the threshold, not bans that have expired. |
|
•
|
Monster.com prohibits the use of automatic Web crawlers, often referred to as "spiders" or "bots". |
|
Automatic Web crawlers pull large amounts of information off web sites. Use of this technology is unfair to other users. Monster does not allow this activity and is constantly monitoring for it. Users who attempt to use this technology on any part of Monster will be immediately banned and have their account automatically and immediately disabled. |
