Notes
Dog Ear may remove an account from Forums access
without suspending them from the site. Dog Ear may suspend any member
from the Forums and from the site who has been previously warned of
board policy violations, though we reserve the right to suspend a member
immediately depending on the violation. Sanctions/suspensions may range
from 1 day to indefinite. A sanction or suspension of one ID will apply
to all IDs of that member and may, at our discretion, apply to members
of the same household. The use of false registration information or
creating multiple accounts for use on Dog Ear Publishing's Forums for
the purpose of disruption or to avoid detection may result in permanent
sanction or suspension of all associated registrations.
