LinkingLogan Forum and Resources Page
One of the exciting features of the LinkingLogan site is that it allows you an opportunity to publish your views on topics of interest on our forum and pertinent documents on our research and resources pages.

While LinkingLogan believes that on-line discussion forums are an ideal way of learning more about the diversity of public views and opinions on issues that affect Logan, the generally unrestricted nature of the Internet could potentially lead to the discussions being abused or misused by some people.

To facilitate the free exchange of public opinion and at the same time monitor any potentially disruptive or undesirable input, LinkingLogan's administrators will moderate any content submitted to the forum or research and resources page. Approval by the administrators must be granted before any content will be uploaded.

LinkingLogan administrators have the right to: 

  • Refuse, or remove from the site, material submitted by a user which in the administrator'sreasonable opinion tends to incite violence, racial hatred or intolerance against any group in our society, or which in the moderator's opinion may constitute a defamatory statement, an infringement of copyright or a breach of any other law; and
  • Edit, abridge, amend or otherwise alter any material submitted to the LinkingLogan site for publication.

In the event that the administrators edit, abridge, amend or otherwise alter a user's submitted material, the user shall (whenever possible) be advised accordingly and given the opportunity to withdraw the information from publication.

Only items submitted with a valid email address and/or other valid, up-to-date contact details will be considered for publication.

In addition, please note that a user is not entitled to have their material published in any circumstances, and the administrators have complete discretion as to whether to permit publication. 

Any comments contained on the discussion forum are the comments of their author only and are not the comments of the LinkingLogan administrators or its partners.
