CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Content largely represents the collective work of individuals with varied backgrounds, viewpoints, and ideologies. In choosing to use the Joy Society Membership Community, members acknowledge that instances of extreme disagreement might arise. While these instances should not be viewed as a personal attack or cause contention between members, grievances can occur. These Terms of Use reinforce that the Joy Society cannot be held liable for disputes resulting from content posted.

For more information about appropriate behavior within the community, please see the Joy Society Community Guidelines. These Terms of Use emphasize that members are fully responsible for any negative actions resulting from their contributions. The Joy Society has no obligation to review content before it is submitted, but may edit or remove content if it is deemed to violate community guidelines, to disobey laws or regulations, or to put into question the integrity of the Joy Society or its members.
