If you use multiple accounts for the purpose of disrupting a community or annoying other users, you may have action taken against all of your CMPoon.com accounts.

All accounts must be registered with a valid personal email address that you access regularly so that moderation emails can be sent to you. Accounts registered with someone else's email address, or with temporary email addresses may be closed without notice. We may require users to re-validate their account if we believe they have been using an invalid email address.

The CMPoon.com Team reserves the right to close accounts if any user is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple the CMPoon.com accounts, or if an non UK user pretends to be a UK user, or disrupts any of our services in any way.

(iii) Safety:

We advise that you never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example: telephone number, postal address, home address or email address or any other details that would allow you to be personally identified) in any the CMPoon.com community.

This action may include any content posted by you being checked before allowed to go on the site or a temporary or permanent suspension of your ability to participate in any or all of CMPoon.com community areas.

If you submit or share offensive or inappropriate content to or with any CMPoon.com communities or anywhere else on CMPoon.com or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on CMPoon.com, and the CMPoon.com Team considers such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated, the CMPoon.com Team may use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop any further such infringements.
