Message Board and Chat Policy
Community Guidelines
Miss Doll World message boards, email, and other interactive features
offer opportunities for meaningful interaction where users
can share knowledge, experiences, and other helpful
information. Since most of the interactions are public, the
experience is best when people follow certain guidelines.
The User Agreement provides detailed guidelines for
registered user conduct. Here is some helpful advice:
-
Read
the Miss Doll World User Agreement: The Miss Doll World user agreement contains
the details of proper message board usage.
-
Use
"Netiquette": There are several sources on the Internet
that can help you communicate effectively using
"Netiquette." Quite simply, Netiquette is a set of core
guidelines to help the cyberspace community behave
productively while online. Since expression, gestures,
and voice tone are all invisible to members, it's
helpful to understand basic online etiquette.
-
Be
Succinct: Stay on topic and collect your thoughts before
communicating them publicly in writing. If your comments
are off topic, you may wish to indicate this early in
your message or perhaps the subject header.
-
Build
Online Rapport: In addition to mutual understanding,
there will surely be conflicting points of view at
times. Remember to respect the opinions of others. Part
of what makes a good community is the ability to see
different points of view. Agreeing to disagree is good
Netiquette. Those who foster goodwill, will get more
participation from others.
-
No
SPAM: Don't "spam" the boards with multiple postings.
Inappropriate messages, like advertising products or
services for sale will be removed.
-
Respect
Others: This is really the bottom line. "Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you." This includes
refraining from using profanity or engaging in conduct
that would be deemed inappropriate in real-life,
face-to-face situations.
-
Contacting Miss Doll World: If you have questions or concerns about
the Miss Doll World community guidelines, you can contact the
moderator.
Membership Termination
You agree that Miss Doll World, in its sole discretion, may terminate
your password, account (or any part thereof) or use of this
Service, and remove and discard any content within the
Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for
inappropriate use or if Miss Doll World believes that you have violated
or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this
user agreement. You agree that any termination of your

and agree that Miss Doll World may immediately deactivate or delete your
account and all related information and files in your
account and/or bar further access to such files or the

you or any third-party for any termination of your access to
the Service.
Limitation of Liability
You agree that you will hold harmless Miss Doll World and its officers,
directors, employees, and volunteers from all claims arising
out of or related to your access or use of, or your
inability to access or use, this web site or the information
contained in this web site or other web sites to which it is
