Board Rules

Welcome to the Snow Japan Forums User Agreement: To existing & new members - please check the box below to continue. Thank you.

Welcome to the Snow Japan Forums - a fun and active community of like-minded (or sometimes not!) winter sports and Japan enthusiasts. These Forums are generally a very relaxed, fun & friendly place to be. We welcome new members to the Forums, and by creating a new account you will have access to many fun features that are not available if you are viewing the Forums without being logged in. We do have a number of Rules & Guidelines that we ask all members to keep to. Although we have these necessary rules, we'd just like to point out that a really great community has developed here in recent years and we do our very best not to interfere with what happens on the Forums. It is still rare that we delete messages and even rarer when we have had to ban members. But if and when we do take action, it is not a decision we take lightly and we do it for reasons we feel are for the benefit of the Forums as a whole. Please read the following membership conditions & notes before continuing.

	Do not post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy or otherwise violates any law.
	Do not post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by yourself or by SnowJapan.Com.
	SnowJapan reserves the right to edit or delete any message, thread or membership for any reason they see fit - without explanation.
	The posting member is solely responsible for the content of their messages, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless this Forum, SnowJapan.Com, the makers of the software and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of posts.
	If a member decides to leave the Forums or is banned from using the Forums for whatever reason, their posts will not automatically be deleted and will remain on the Forums unless SnowJapan wishes to delete them.
	Do not post any advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, business or private website URL links on the Forums, in my signature or within Private Messages.
	Please read and be aware of our Forums Guidelines and Links Policy.
	Do not come onto these Forums simply asking for links to other sites (see above links policy).
	The Snow Japan Moderators have the final say on all issues regarding the running of these Forums and our policy is not up for discussion on the Forums.
	Argumentative and sarcastic posts directed towards the Moderators of these Forums will be deleted without question and probably result in a ban. If you don't agree with the way the Forums are run, please just refrain from posting here.
