3. ASQ Calgary reserves the right to pre-screen, edit, and remove any post as it deems appropriate. You specifically acknowledge that ASQ Calgary has no obligation to display any post submitted.
4. Please ensure your blog postings and comments are civil, tasteful and relevant. Therefore:
   • No Flaming.  Unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, racially offensive or otherwise objectionable comments are not acceptable.
   • No Swearing.
   • No Spamming or Flooding. Don’t post the same comment to more than one conversation or more than once.
   • No Impersonation. Adopting an inappropriate user name (one that is vulgar, offensive, etc.) is also unacceptable.
   • Only Include Suitable URL’s. Links to websites we consider unsuitable will be removed. If you are considering including a URL, please make sure that it adds value and interest to the subject of your blog post or comment. Unsuitable sites would include those with racist material, [censored] or sexually explicit materials, potentially defamatory material, anything which encourages illegal activities, or material which infringes copyright.

Individual bloggers can be held personally liable for any commentary deemed to be defamatory, obscene, proprietary or libelous. For those reasons, bloggers should exercise caution with regards to exaggeration, colorful language, guesswork, obscenity, copyrighted materials, legal conclusions and derogatory remarks or characterizations. In essence, you blog (or post onto the blog of others) at your own risk. Outside parties can pursue legal action against you for such postings.
