Hot-Specials.com has created this privacy statement in order to
demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our
information gathering and dissemination practices.
We use your IP address to identify any contributions you make to
the site, such as messages, and to help diagnose problems with our server and
to administer our Web site
The results cannot be assumed to represent the opinions of Internet users in
general, nor the public as a whole.
The employees of Hot-Specials.com are not responsible for content,
functionality or the opinions expressed therein.
Policies & Guidelines:
No free advertising of any kind is allowed. Our paying
advertisers support your free access to this site.
All entries that are deemed to be abusive, defaming, vulgar,
hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, libelous, threatening, unsafe, invasive
of privacy, inaccurate, or violates any law will be deleted from our database
and/or may lead to loss of website use.
Use Good Personal Judgment
First and foremost, NEVER rely on information or user opinions in
posts to replace necessary, personal consultation(s) with qualified financial
or medical professionals. This site is for support, empowerment, sharing
opinions and entertainment. Also, remember that what's right or has worked for
one person may not be what's right for you. Your personal set of circumstances
will always influence what's best or right for you.
Keep Personal Information Personal
Do not post your real name, email, home address or telephone
number with your entry. Please keep personal information personal, and remind
your children to do so, too.
Share Information Within the Guidelines
You may always name products or services and tell your opinions
about them. Entries that break any law are inappropriate and will be removed.
Information-only websites, such as .gov, always are welcome. The
informational.edu and other strictly informational websites are fine, but if
any is primarily for message forums/chats, then it may not be posted unless
pre-approved.
Agree to Disagree
Negative entires aimed at sexual orientation, gender, race,
color, religious views, national origin, or DISABILITY -- will not be
permitted. BEFORE you post a message that is intended to embarrass, humiliate
or harass another person or group of people, stop and THINK first! Harassing
communications is deemed as any words that may cause distress, embarrassment,
unwanted attention or other discomfort.
Please remember to agree to disagree. What is good for one may
very well not be the answer for another. Please stay on-topic according to the
category your currently in. Providing your opinion should not result in
disparaging remarks or religious discussions, or one-upsmanship over who has
the most education. NO one is an expert on what is appropriate for someone
else. Even if you disagree with an idea, it still may be the solution for
others. Decisions about health, romance, and well-being are highly personal,
individual choices. If you disagree with a
person's post or opinion state your opinion, then move on before making it an
argument. Agree to disagree, agreeably. If a member asks for support only,
please respect the request; do not reply with contradictory comments.
