The Rules

Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review all messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that while we do actively monitor the contents of the messages, we 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 author of the message, not necessarily the views of Straightbourbon.com or any entity associated with this web site. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. 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, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use these forums 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 unless the copyright is owned by you or by Straightbourbon.com.

Although Straightbourbon.com does not and cannot review all the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at Straightbourbon.com reserve the right to delete any message or account for any or no reason whatsoever. Furthermore, if your account has been purposefully deactivated for violation of the terms this agreement, you will not be reinstated. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Straightbourbon.com and it’s agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).

We at Straightbourbon.com also 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.

Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate on this web site and will not be tolerated. Commercial interests and charitable organizations are prohibited from posting here except when prior arrangements have been made with Straightbourbon.com management. The sale of alcoholic beverages by any party is prohibited here, and we do not consider the contents of a “collectible” bottling to be incidental; thus links to ebay and/or other liquor auctions — active or inactive — are prohibited. Furthermore, topics that are escalating into “flame wars” will be edited, locked, or deleted at the moderators’ discretion. You may not participate in our forums if you are less than legal drinking age. Federal law prohibits you from accessing this web site.

If you don’t agree with these rules, please do not register an account with us. We try to let the forums run themselves as much as possible, but do occasionally step in when these rules are violated.

We reserve the right to change these membership rules at any time. Therefore, you should review them periodically to make certain that you continue to agree with them.
