John M. Campbell & Co. Forum: Rules, Guidelines for Posting, and Enforcement Policy We hope that you enjoy using the JMC Forum. It was created for the students of JMC courses, as a place to share thoughts and ideas. Although most students conduct themselves appropriately, some students may abuse the privilege of using the JMC Forum and in doing so, could take away from the spirit fostered by other, better mannered students. For this reason, we created the following rules and guidelines. Those students who refuse to follow these rules and guidelines may be punished in accordance with the Enforcement Policy, as set out below.
Rules & Guidelines for Posting1. Have a good time. More than anything, we want students of all ages to feel welcome.
2. Do not start trouble. We feel this rule is self-explanatory. Just so there is no confusion, follow these simply guidelines:
a. Do not use profanity of vulgarity.
b. Be courteous of other students' beliefs and cultural courtesies.
c. Do not threaten or harass other students or moderators.
d. Do not post obscene or objectionable content or links.
3. Do not insult or slander others. Don't make inflammatory of false statements regarding other individuals, groups, businesses, or organizations.
4. Do not post private information. Anything posted on the JMC Forum is freely available to the public. Please do not post any private information unless you want it to be available publicly. Never assume that you are completely anonymous and cannot be identified by your posts.
5. Do not harm minors in any way.
6. Do not impersonate any person or entity. This includes, but is not limited to, a JMC employee or JMC Forum moderator. This also includes falsely stating or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or entity.
7. Do not forge posts. This includes forging headers or otherwise manipulating messaging identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any messages posted on the JMC Forum.
8. Do not post Spam or Viruses. This includes uploading, posting, transmitting, or otherwise making available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "computer viruses," "trojan horses," "chain letters," or "pyramid schemes."
9. Do not break the law. This means intentionally or unintentionally violating any applicable local, state, national or international law, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any rules of any national, or other securities exchange, including, without limitation, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the NASDAQ, and any regulations having the force of law; and also includes providing material support or resources (or to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, or ownership of material support or resources) to any organization(s) designated by the United States government as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This also includes posting information or data that may infringe someone else's intellectual property rights.
10. Do not collect personal information. Do not collect or store personal data about other users. This includes, but is not limited to, collecting or storing information related to a student or moderator's name, messenger service name, website, gender, age, location, and language.
11. Do not bring disagreements with JMC policies or practices into the JMC Forum. The moderators or management will not discuss these disagreements with you in the forums, but will be happy to discuss any disagreements via email. If you have a specific grievance, please contact us at
bruce@jmcampbell.com.
12. Do not post any copyrighted material without the expressed written consent of the owner. In the event that we find any copyrighted material posted on the JMC Forum, we reserve the right to remove such material, and will certainly do so if it appears that the copyrighted material was posted without the owner's consent.
13. Debates are encouraged; fights are prohibited. We hope that the JMC Forum will provide a forum in which students may learn and discuss any variety of topics. In the event that these debates degenerate into name-calling or break any of the rules or guidelines listed here, we reserve the right to remove such message and threads from the JMC Forum.
Enforcement PolicyIn the event that a student breaks any of these rules or guidelines, or engages in conduct in violation of the spirit of these rules and guidelines, we reserve the right to take any or all enforcement options, including but not limited to:
1. Sending an email to help the student understand what rule(s) he or she has broken with a warning of what can happen if they continue to break the rule(s);
2. Deletion or editing of post or posts;
3. Suspending or permanently banning a student from the JMC Forum; and
4. Taking any legal action necessary to protect and defend JMC, the JMC Forum, JMC's students, and any other entity affiliate with JMC either directly or indirectly.
In the event that a student's conduct on the JMC Forum result in legal action being taken by JMC, or some third party, we may reveal your identity and other information.
