Users-Groups.com Forums

Users-Groups.com allows you to connect with others who share the same interests and ideas, through our web site or through any email program. In order to create a Users-Groups.com Forum or Community of Practice, you must contact us.

For example, a Community of Practice is "recipes", and the forums are "short-order", "gourmet", and "vegetarian". The associated web site and forums would be:

http://recipes.users-groups.com/
short-order@recipes.users-groups.com
gourmet@recipes.users-groups.com
vegetarian@recipes.users-groups.com

(This Community of Practice nor the associated forums actually exist on this server)

Information Collection and Use Practices

Joining a forum

You may select which forums, from any Community of Practice, you wish to participate; however, the Community of Practice owner may have established a qualification profile which you must match prior to your being allowed to participate.

The information requested from you for the qualification profile for a forum in a Community of Practice is under the auspices of the Community of Practice owner, and Users-Groups.com shall be held harmless and not liable for any and all misuse of any information collected.

Creating a Community of Practice and/or a forum

In order to create a Users-Groups.com Forum or Community of Practice, you must contact us. As the creator of a Community of Practice, you will be responsible for constraining the content to the Community of Practice.

As a requestor of a new forum for a Community of Practice that you do not own, you are merely suggesting a new forum, and should it be created, the Community of Practice owner will be responsible for managing the content, not you as the requestor.

Full headers of the email message of all postings can also be seen by anyone accessing the messages.
If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Each forum has it's own charter and guidlines. It is your responsiblility to be aware and agree to forum charter and guidlines for which you particpate.
