ACCOUNT RESPONSIBILITY

Members are responsible for protecting their accounts from access by others. Please select a hard-to-guess password and not re-use that password on any other sites where administrators of that site may manipulate it.

Members may maintain multiple accounts on ATVposters.com. ATVposters.com can and does track multiple shared accounts from a single or multiple computers as one account in terms outlined in this TOS. If the TOS is violated severely enough to warrant the banning of one account, all known accounts shared between a single or multiple users who use the same computer may also be banned for the actions of the violating account at the administrators' discretion.

Because of this rule, it is highly recommended that board users do not share their accounts with others, nor share their computers used to access the site with others, as the actions of some other person could easily directly impact all known shared message board accounts.
