User Communication

When you send email or other communication to ChingriMaachh.com.au and Neem Tree, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.

You will be able to send emails to others (members and non-members) through the ChingriMaachh.com.au system. For example, you may send a comment on an article written by another member. Or you may send an email invitation to a non-member to join your personal network. In these instances, these emails will list your name and email address in the header of the message. The recipients of these emails initiated by you will then know your name and email address. Neem Tree is not responsible for how these recipients use this information. Your contact information will only be shared with another member only if both of you indicated you would like to establish contact with each other.

Only registered members of Chingri Maachh are allowed to communicate with you through Chingri Maachh through a form on Chingri Maachh. Unless and until you respond to this email, they will not get to know your email address. You may, however, choose an account setting that prevents any other member from contacting you or inviting you to join their personal network.

Content Policy

Content Policy

Content Policy for ChingriMaachh.com.au, a Neem Tree service

ChingriMaachh.com.au is a free service for communication, information sharing, self-expression and freedom of speech. We believe ChingriMaachh.com.au increases the availability of information, encourages healthy debate, and makes possible new connections between people.

We respect our users' ownership of and responsibility for the content they choose to share. It is our belief that censoring this content is contrary to a service that bases itself on freedom of expression.

In order to uphold these values, we need to curb abuses that threaten our ability to provide this service and the freedom of expression it encourages. As a result, there are some boundaries on the type of content that can be hosted with ChingriMaachh.com.au. The boundaries we've defined are those that both comply with legal requirements and that serve to enhance the service as a whole.

Illegal Purposes

ChingriMaachh.com.au may not be used for illegal purposes. Examples of this include using ChingriMaachh.com.au for fraudulent purposes or operating a phishing site (used to obtain account and password information).

Spam

We will aggressively seek to prevent and remove spam from our site. There are a variety of different ways in which spam manifests itself in blogs. Generally, when we talk about spam we mean content that is created for the primary purpose of manipulating search engine results, or generating revenue or traffic through deceptive means. The following are examples of the types of spam that are forbidden by the ChingriMaachh.com.au Content Policy ("Content Policy"), but this is not an exhaustive list.

  • comment spam: the manual or automated placement of comments on a post for the sole purpose of driving either traffic or Neem Tree PageRank to another site.
  • referrer spamming: send fake referrer traffic (links) to a site for the purpose of driving traffic to a ChingriMaachh.com.au-hosted blog
  • cloaking: the programmatic hiding of content on a site for the purposes of having that content indexed by search engines without it being viewable
  • automated content creation: the scripted creation of blog content for the purpose of generating revenue or manipulating search results

More information about the specific measures we are taking against spam can be found in ChingriMaachh.com.au Help.

Identity Theft and Privacy

Blogs that misleadingly appropriate the identity of another person are not permitted.

Users may not post other people's personally identifying or confidential information, including but not limited to credit card numbers, driver's and other license numbers. You may not post information such as other people's passwords, usernames, phone numbers, addresses and e-mail addresses unless already publicly accessible on the Web.

Defamation/Libel

Users should not publish any content that is unlawful, defamatory, and fraudulent. Note that an allegation of defamatory expression, in and of itself, does not establish defamation. The truth or falsehood of a bit of expression is a key element in establishing defamation, and we are not in a position to make that sort of fact-based judgment. That said, if we have reason to believe that a particular statement is defamatory (a court order, for example), we will remove that statement.

Disruptions and Exploits

We will terminate accounts and block addresses of those who attempt unauthorized use of ChingriMaachh.com.au.com.

Copyright

Using copyrighted material does not constitute infringement in all cases. In general, however, users should be careful when using copyrighted content without the permission of those who created it. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for more information on our intellectual property policies.

Objectionable Content

Hate speech and other objectionable content may be flagged for review by our users. When this happens, ChingriMaachh.com.au reserves the right to warn others of the potentially offensive content through the use of a warning page.

Just because a given blog has been reported does not mean that any particular action will be taken. For example, blogs that are reported because readers disagree with the political opinions expressed in a blog will not be acted upon.
