Forum Rules
Warning to those who wish to bring their personal vendettas to the forum. In particular, STPETERCHANEL.COM reserves the right to reveal your identity in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.
Simply put, if you attempt to slander or maliciously harm others thru our site or post inappropriate personal information about people's personal lives you will be revealed to them. Not only your Email address but also your IP address. All Internet services keep logs of when and what IP number was assigned to whom during all connections.
Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages 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 author of the message, not necessarily the views of Chanel or any entity associated with this BB. 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 STPETERCHANEL.COM 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 and represent as your own any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by Chanel.
Although Chanel does not and cannot review the messages posted and is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at Chanel reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Chanel and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).

You understand that any violation of these rules will result in the cancellation of your membership in STPETERCHANEL.COM. The management of STPETERCHANEL.COM without warning or negotiation will implement said cancellation. Your registration payment will not be refunded as you assume all risk once you have registered and are acquainted with the above rules.
Reinstatement (depending on the violation there may never be reinstatement) of your membership following cancellation is not automatic, it would only transpire given reassurance by you that you can observe the rules and post within the boundaries of those rules. Persistent or repeated transgression of the rules will result in your membership in STPETERCHANEL.COM being permanently cancelled.
