Although you are welcome to register with a UserName ("handle") rather than your real name, registration requires that you enter a real email address -- to which your password will be emailed. Only one UserName per email address is allowed.

We will not sell, share or use for purposes other than maintaining this service your identity and/or email address, although we must reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.

Registrants who misuse or abuse the system (in the sole opinion of the administrator) will be blocked from future use. Please understand -- although this board is open to the public -- it is not a publicly owned resource. It is therefore not subject to First Amendment "Free Speech" requirements. ("Free Speech" in the case of the Internet means you are free to start your own bulletin board.)

Also note that this is the Glen Ellyn Bulletin Board. Thoughtful discussion of local issues are welcome, but -- in general -- generic discussions of national and global issues are not. (Exceptions will be given their own forum.)

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this Message Board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material without permission.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this Message Board, the Glen Ellyn Web Site (www.Glen-Ellyn.com), Groupee Inc. (formerly InfoPop, Inc. -- the makers of the message board software), and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).

We reserve the right to edit or delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. Additionally, we reserve the right to block access to the board by any user for any, or no, reason. Unacceptable content which will be deleted includes (but is not limited to) posts which attack or otherwise demean individuals and organizations, whether "public" or "private," and messages which "spam" multiple forums with identical content.

Because of the real-time nature of this message board it is impossible for us to instantly review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. We monitor posted messages on an irregular basis, and are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the authors of the messages, and not necessarily the views of the Glen Ellyn Web Site or any individual or entity associated with it.

Anyone who feels that a particular message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email or telephone (630-469-7058). We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process; we can not remove or edit particular messages instantly.

Finally, note that commercial advertisements, chain letters, MLM and/or pyramid schemes, and other inappropriate solicitations will be deleted and their posters blocked from future use.

If you've read this far... thanks! No matter what the above legalese implies, we really do welcome your participation!
