I think the 'Forum Terms Of Service' could do with a little revamp for the English version, some of it does read a little as if it's been translated in google (no offence intended).
The moderators of this forum will try hard to edit or remove reprehensible (replace with 'inappropriate or offensive') messages as soon as possible. However, it is impossible for them to review all the messages. You thus admit (replace with 'therefore accept') that all the messages posted on this forum express the sight and opinion of their respective authors and not those of the moderators or the Webmaster (except messages posted by them) and consequently, they cannot be held responsible of the discussions.
This forum uses cookies to store information on your computer. These cookies will not contain any personal information; they are only used to improve comfort while browsing (replace with 'your browsing experience'). The address e-mail (replace with 'Your e-mail address') is only used in order to confirm the details of your registration as your password (and also to send you back your password if you forget it).
The following paragraph really doesn't read well at all. I have made a suggestion of a complete re-write beneath it.
- Aggressive or slanderous messages, as well as personal insults and critics, the coarseness and vulgarities, and more generally any message contravening the French laws are prohibited.
- Messages who promote - or evoke - illegal practices are prohibited.
- If you post informations which come from another site
, look first if the site in question doesn't forbid it. Show the address of the site in question in order to respect the work of their administrators!
- Please post your messages only once. The repetitions are unpleasant and useless!
- Please make an effort on grammar and spelling. SMS-style language (ex: r u sk8ing?) is not advised!
An alternative:-
- Aggressive and/or abusive messages will not be tolerated. Flaming, sexual, racial, religious or any other kind of abusive messages will be removed and may result in the member being banned from the forum.
- Messages which promote or infer illegal activity are prohibited
- If you post information from another site it is your sole responsibility to ensure you have the relevant permission to do so.
- Please post your message only once. Duplicating messages is unnecessary and can spoil the experience of other members
(This paragraph also needs to be re-worded:- suggestion below it.)
Any message contravening the listing above will be edited or removed without additional notice or justification within deadlines which will depend on the availability of the moderators. Any abuse will involve the cancellation of the registration. Internet is neither an anonymous space, nor a space of no-right! We reserve ourselves the possibility of informing your access provider and/or the legal authorities of any malevolent behavior. An IP address of each poster is recorded in order to help us to make you respect these conditions.
Messages that do not comply with the 'Forum Terms Of Service' will be removed as soon as possible by the moderators. Persistent abuse will result in the cancellation of your registration.
You should be aware and understand that the internet is not an anonymous space. We collect IP addresses from each registration and for each post which will be passed on to the relevant authorities where we feel that civil or criminal laws have been broken.
Some wording in this final part also needs some changes:-
By clicking on " I agree to these terms " below:
- You acknowledge to have fully read these current rules;
Change To: - 'You acknowledge that you have and accept the above terms of service'
- You commit yourself to respect unreservedly these current rules; - this not required as it is already agreed in the first line
- You grant the moderators of this forum the right to delete, move or edit any discussion subject at any moment. (change to 'without notice')
These changes would make the 'Terms Of Service' more coherent for English users and would be clearer to all users.
