Although the administrators and moderators of Coldplay :: Coldplaying.com Messageboard will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Coldplay :: Coldplaying.com Messageboard, nor Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message. Although the administrators and moderators of Coldplaying.com will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. We (administrators, owners, moderators) will not be held liable for any slanderous, libel, threats, false accusations, gossip, adult material that generate and or is posted on http://www.coldplaying.com/forum and any page included within the http://www.coldplaying.com domain. 1. Accountability a) Because of the live nature of the discussions on this community, it is not possible for us to review and/or confirm the accuracy or validity of a message before it is posted. If you believe that someone has violated our User Guidelines or you have spotted content that may otherwise require attention, please click the "report post" icon in the post where the violation is located. Using the "report post" feature is the recommended way to ensure that the Global Moderators will be made aware of the post and can act accordingly as fast as possible. Our moderators don't work 24/7, so using the "report post" feature will bring the issue to the attention of all currently available moderators. In a small minority of instances it may not be appropriate to use the "report post" feature. If this is the case, a private message may be sent to a moderator. Please be aware that the speed of any response will be limited to that moderator's availability. For general questions you can of course contact us, but abuse of this option and/or monopolizing moderators' attention to forum activity will not be tolerated. b) All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of coldplaying.com, nor Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd., vBulletin Solutions, Inc.. (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message. We (administrators, owners, moderators) will not be held liable for any unlawful, slanderous, libel, threats, false accusations, gossip, adult material that generate and / or is posted on http://www.coldplaying.com/forum and any page included within the http://www.coldplaying.com domain. By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws, including but not restricted to, copyright and intellectual property. 2.

Christa42 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 SPAM As a friendly reminder if you notice spam or what you think is spam please do not respond/post to it. We have been getting a lot of it lately and when we get rid of it, if there are other posts it just adds to the cleanup. If you would like you can always send one of the mods a VM to let us know about it if we have not cleaned it up right away :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
