CoreBB Terms of Service

Last updated: 5-31-2026

Welcome to CoreBB . By creating an account, logging in, posting, sending messages, or otherwise using this site, you agree to these Terms of Service.

1. Basic Rule

Be decent.

Do not use CoreBB to harass people, spam the site, break the law, attack the service, or post content that does not belong here.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use interactive features on this site.

If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13, we may close the account and remove associated information as appropriate.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for your account and anything posted from it.

You agree not to:

share your password with others
impersonate another person
register accounts for abuse, evasion, spam, or disruption
use another person’s account without permission
attempt to bypass bans, suspensions, moderation actions, or access controls

We may rename, restrict, suspend, or remove accounts when needed to protect the site or community.

4. User Content

You are responsible for what you post.

By posting content on CoreBB , you confirm that you have the right to post it and that it does not violate these Terms.

You keep ownership of content you create. However, by posting it here, you give CoreBB permission to store, display, reproduce, quote, archive, format, and distribute that content as part of operating the site.

This permission is worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and continues for as long as the content remains part of the site, including backups, archives, quotes, moderation records, and historical threads.

5. Prohibited Content

Do not post or transmit content that:

is illegal
contains threats of violence
encourages real-world harm
harasses, stalks, or targets another person
contains private personal information without permission
contains malware, exploits, credential theft, or phishing
infringes copyright, trademark, or other rights
is spam, flooding, advertising abuse, or automated junk
attempts to evade moderation or technical restrictions
contains sexually explicit content involving minors
otherwise creates legal, security, or operational risk for the site

Moderators and administrators may remove content that violates these rules or harms the community.

6. Moderation

CoreBB is a moderated forum.

Moderators and administrators may edit, move, lock, hide, delete, restore, archive, or otherwise manage posts, topics, boards, accounts, and private messages when needed.

Moderation decisions are made at the discretion of the site staff. We are not required to host any particular post, topic, user, or account.

If you believe a moderation action was made in error, you may contact the site staff through the available contact or appeal tools.

7. Private Messages

Private messages are intended for user-to-user communication, but they are not guaranteed to be private from site administration.

Administrators may access, review, preserve, or disclose private messages when needed to:

investigate abuse
respond to reports
protect users or the site
comply with legal obligations
diagnose technical problems
enforce these Terms

Do not use private messages for illegal activity, threats, harassment, spam, or abuse.

8. Archive Content

CoreBB may contain historical forum content imported from older public forums and archives.

Archive content is preserved for historical and community reference. Some archive content may contain old usernames, signatures, links, formatting, images, quotes, or references that no longer reflect current users, current views, or current site policy.

Archive content may be read-only. Users may not be able to edit, delete, reply to, vote in, or otherwise modify archived threads.

We may remove, hide, correct, or restrict archive content when necessary for privacy, safety, legal, technical, or moderation reasons.

9. Secure Archive and Restricted Areas

Some areas of the site may be restricted, private, read-only, or limited to certain users or staff.

You agree not to access, attempt to access, share, scrape, bypass, or expose restricted areas unless you have permission.

Content from private, staff-only, or restricted areas may not be copied, reposted, or distributed without authorization.

10. Copyright and DMCA

identification of the material you believe is infringing
the location of the material on the site
a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized

We do not guarantee that the site will always be online, error-free, secure, complete, or available.

Old links, images, posts, accounts, archive material, and imported content may be incomplete, inaccurate, broken, duplicated, missing, or historically inconsistent.

Use the site at your own risk.

You may stop using the site at any time.

Some posts, quotes, logs, moderation records, and archive material may remain after an account is closed.
