FORUMS, DISCUSSIONS, AND MEMBERS’ ARTICLES AND ARTWORK 4.1 You may post comments and other Content on the message boards (the "Forums") and the chat room ("Chat Room"), and upload or otherwise publish articles and artwork in the "Articles" or "Gallery" sections of the Site, and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, so long as the Content is not libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, threatening, abusive, invasive of privacy, plagiarizing, infringing of the intellectual property rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy or other personal or proprietary rights, or otherwise illegal material, and does not consist of or contain software viruses, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam," or interfere with or disrupt the Services, computer servers or boards accessible through the Site. 4.2 Be courteous.

In a community characterized by strong opinions and preferences, people inevitably disagree.

However, while Chronicles of Gor does not and cannot review every message posted by you on the Forums and in the Chat Room and is not responsible for the Content of these messages, Chronicles of Gor reserves the right to delete, move, or edit messages that it, in its sole discretion, deems libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, threatening, abusive, invasive of privacy, plagiarizing, in violation of copyright or trademark laws or these Terms, or otherwise unacceptable. 4.6 You acknowledge that any Content you post, upload or otherwise publish to the Services (e.g., articles or posts) may be edited, removed, modified, published, transmitted, and displayed by Chronicles of Gor and you waive any moral rights you may have in having the material altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you. Chronicles of Gor claims no ownership or control over any Content submitted, posted or uploaded by you on or through the Services. You or a third party licensor, as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any Content you submit, post or upload on or through the Services and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate. By submitting, posting or uploading Content on or through the Services, you grant Chronicles of Gor a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to reproduce, adapt and publish such Content on the Site and through the Services solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting the Site or any other Services. You may request the removal or editing of Content that you have posted or uploaded yourself (other than posts to the Chat Room during scheduled discussions) and this license will terminate when such Content is deleted from any portion of the Site viewable by Members or the public, provided, however, that you acknowledge that Chronicles of Gor reserves the right (i) to retain in the Site's operational archive, accessible only to the Site administrators and moderators, any such Content submitted, posted or uploaded by you on or through the Services that is later deleted from the portion of the Site viewable by Members or the public, and to use that Content in connection with administering the Site and these Terms, and (ii) to replace any deleted message with a short summary of its Content sufficient to maintain the coherency of the topic or thread under which it had originally been made, and you grant Chronicles of Gor a worldwide, perpetual, non-revocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license with respect to (i) and (ii).
