Guidelines
PikesPeakParent.com is owned by Freedom Colorado Information Inc.,
which also publishes The Gazette, gazette.com and
coloradosprings.com. Freedom has its own set of rules for using our
websites, and those rules apply to pikespeakparent.com. If you want
to read the fine print of our User Agreement, click
here.
In plainer English, here is what those rules boil down to:
We simply require respect and good manners. Use common sense and you'll feel right at home.
At pikespeakparent.com, you must use your real name when you set up your account. Your real name will appear on your stories, your blog posts, your photos and replies. Some of your contributions, accompanied by your real name, might be published in Pikes Peak Parent's printed editions, and by posting your content to this site, you give us your permission to do so.
We live by words, so we don't allow obscene, bigoted, or sexually explicit language. We reserve the right to decide what crosses the line. We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate the accounts of anyone who posts such content.
Any harassing notes or postings that might be construed as stalking will be deleted, and we reserve the right to inform and/or provide assistance to law enforcement agencies in any way we deem appropriate.
You are welcome to share the story of your business at pikespeakparent.com. If a contribution looks like it ought to be a paid advertisement, we will remove it and refer it to our advertising department. This example might help: If you are a real-estate agent, your insights about the market conditions in the neighborhood are welcome. But a simple solicitation to hire you will be removed. In other words, have something to contribute, not just something to sell.
We also don’t permit pitches for get-rich-quick schemes. You may not suggest, encourage, boast about, or discuss your participation in, any illegal activity.
You must own any material you post on our site. If you do not own the article, recipe, song lyrics, artwork, graphic or other material, you must have written permission from the owner before you post it here. If you don’t own it, post a link to it.
Beyond your real name, you should never give out any personal information about yourself or anyone else, and never ask for personal information from others.
We’re watching what goes on here, but not constantly. You take responsibility for postings under your identification, and you use the information provided on this site at your own risk. We take no responsibility for the content or opinions posted on this site. We reserve the right to remove any postings (although we have no duty to do so). If you see any content that you feel violates any of these rules, please notify us by e-mail.
Bottom line: Use good judgment, remember the Golden Rule, and have a wonderful time.
