EntityScript™: Section 15-> Disclaimers

Disclaimers

CORE.HOST™ allows you to create an access point for a variety of connection types with your peers. This includes text-chats, video-chat, data-sharing through .git or a file-server, and rooms. These RTC activities are complex and sometimes if you're creating an open-access forum it may be a good idea to add a disclaimer to your instance. This disclaimer can set a default ruleset for RTC moderation and set the tone of your instances. It can also set clear standards about what age group the instance is for or provide details about copyright of the data being provided. You can setup a standard EntityScript™ template and provide it to your instance as a default disclaimer.

Instance Disclamers set the tone of your endpoint

Best Practices: Provide and Instance Disclaimer and setup Instance Alerts for clear violations.

It may be wise to post some sort of disclaimer tag for your instance. These can be adhoc or legally vetted. We don't control your disclaimer but will provide a few default ones to use.

Here is an example for a community that shares their digital-art with each other to gain insight into how they can improve:

 We do not own your copyright when you post it into this instance, but we have the right to observe it.
 We don't critique work unless we also have experience with similar art types.
 We don't allow sharing content that was created by another party, even with their consent.
 If another person or company (clearly able to be identified by another human or machine) created this content, it will be deleted and restricted from sharing in this room at a future date.
 3rd party nodes sharing content that isn't theres will be banned. This is an original works community only - we want to see your work, not the work of others.
 We don't need debates here, keep your opinions to factual content and acknowledging the good work of others.
 If you don't like someone work, be objective with your feelings.
 Learn to be a critic first before pointing out objective failings in someones work only.
 Do not use this as a platform to permote taste-based failings according to your subjective standard.
 Be objective.
 We want to make this instance protected from abusive behavior. Critique is not abuse.
 Telling someone their work is bad without explaining why objectively, will get you benned.
 We are free of censorship, however: We don't want other people's content being shared by anyone besides them.
 You can share your own or content that's been made available to a public network location already, but make it available here too.
 We don't want others feeling insulted about what someone is saying, so at any time you're free to leave the instance for any reason.
 We practice a right to leave methodology, we don't control your exiting of this community. We don't beg you to stay when you want to leave.
 This instance is politically neutral, factual, and affirmative.
 Do not post with excessive pride or prejudice towards one view or another.
 Even when criticism is warranted, a simple look the other way means more than putting someone else down. Detailed analysis about work is okay.
 The system moderation policy is enforceable but will never be perfect.
 18 and Older only, but we're not an adult-content board.

So there you have it, an example disclaimer. It'll be up to you to edit the example and no claim will be made to the effectiveness or usefulness of any that we provide. Disclaimers aren't really enforceable but they can help with community focus.

The example here is to get you thinking about providing an off the bat way to tell others what you expect in an instance that you're operating. Instances without disclaimers won't be indexed.

When the public packages are made available to you, you'll be to find some more disclaimers available among other items in Additional Resources
