However:
From Psychobabble FAQS.
How private is this?
It depends:Whenever you're online, your browser probably keeps track (on your own computer) of which web pages you visit. Also, your Internet service provider (and hackers) may be able to monitor what you do.
...When you post a message, it, your posting name, and the time of your submission become public information. If you don't want anyone to know your real name:
Don't register with your real name.
Please understand that if information is public, it may be linked to by search engines. In fact, this site itself uses Google Search.I ask for demographic information so that I can characterize the Psycho-Babble community. I ask for email addresses (and the server logs IP addresses) so that if there's abuse or serious danger, I can notify the person's Internet service provider (or other authorities). With these exceptions, I won't release any identifying information to anyone else. Unless ordered to by a court or something like that.
If someone else has posted information that identifies or private communications from you and you object, or if you did so yourself and have changed your mind, please contact me.
If you receive an abusive email or babblemail from someone here, please forward it directly to me (with all its headers, if you know how to do that). FWIW, I can then block any Psycho-Babble or associated Yahoo Group registrations using that email address.
Registration information and connection logs are stored on the web server. The logs are used to generate usage statistics, but no individuals are identified. Besides myself, only the computer support people should have direct access to the web server. Hackers or even burglars might, however, be able to break in.
You may also want to think twice about what you post. It's easy to feel safe online and therefore to be open about yourself. That's one of the advantages of online message boards, but don't forget:
What you post is public, as public as if you put it up on an old-fashioned bulletin board in a supermarket. Maybe even more so, since there aren't supermarket bulletin board search engines.
Under certain circumstances, being linked to a post could jeopardize your job or lead to your criminal prosecution. To repeat, what you say could be used against you.
To be completely safe, you have to abstain.
How do copyrights work here?
My understanding is that when you write something, you (usually) get the copyright to it. It doesn't even have to include a copyright statement. There's a process by which you can register that copyright, but that's a somewhat separate issue. However, I want to be able to use these posts elsewhere. For example, on my Book Ideas page or in articles.You may therefore submit a message only if you agree to allow me unrestricted use of it. Submitting a message constitutes acceptance of that condition. But you retain the copyright.
