If you are the copyright holder and a user of the site has not obtained the rights, please contact us and we will remove the offending material.
Respect Copyrights
Your original work in your own words is your best submission.
If you want to tell others about an article found elsewhere on the web, please provide a link rather than copying and pasting the entire article. You may not republish someone else’s copyrighted material on iBrattleboro without permission of the copyright holder.
If you are the copyright holder and a user of the site has not obtained the rights, please contact us and we will remove the offending material. DMCA Designated Agent Information is here.
Disclosures
If you have a personal or business relationship with the subject of an article upon which you are writing, please mention it so readers will know.
Write With Civility And Respect
An important purpose of iBrattleboro is to provide all users with a forum for information-sharing, discussion and debate in a respectful and friendly atmosphere. Personal attacks and mean-spirited postings discourage and utimately kill useful communication. Submissions that appear to be primarily for the purpose of defamation, libel, or maligning and impugning others may be deleted. iBrattleboro is concerned with building community. Community is built on goodwill, respect and trust.
Disagreement need not be synonymous with anger, bitterness, loathing, intolerance or other non-productive negativity. Discussion is encouraged; fighting is not.
We can disagree without being disagreeable.
Users who are found to repeatedly violate minimal standards of respect and decorum may, following multiple warnings sent to the email address used to sign up, be suspended or banned from the site.
You must use an e-mail address that you check and we can contact you through.
Agree To Editing
By submitting a story or comment to iBrattleboro, you agree to allow possible editing of your work for capitalization, spelling, punctuation, more descriptive titles, and/or length. Your contributions will never be edited as to content or substance. We may try to contact you for further information if we can.
We are willing will help you find a way to get your point across without violating the site’s terms and conditions.
With regard to sections, when submitting a story you may suggest a section. However iBrattleboro reserves the right to recategorize it more appropriately.
