The hereintown.com philosophy or why we are hereintown!
As of August 2004, hereintown.com will no longer link to nor act as a
commercial web site. All sites that we are related to will be non profits.
Without question the first sites that we are putting up are those with which
we already have a working relationship such as St. Patrick's Church in Bedford,
NY, the Knights of Columbus and the Vietnam Veterans of America. More will
follow. Some will only be links to existing sites and other will be created by
us on a pro bono basis.
These statements are not a solicitation as any links we create will be posted
as we see fit. This is not a negotiable condition nor do we feel we need justify
refusing a link.
Our intention is that this entire site be viewable by anyone of any
age, of any background and of any like and dislike. However, while not
wanting to be a prude, this is our site and it is not a democracy.
Hereintown.com will not tolerate any clients who offer or post any of the
following:
-
"Adult" oriented themes.
-
Racist or hate material of any nature no matter who
the target is.
-
Radical behavior against any entity including
individuals or our government.
-
Advocating of violence of any kind.
-
Since we do not provide e-mail from hereintown.com we cannot prevent you
from sending spam. But, if you do spam and refer to a site hereintown.com
you will loose your site at hereintown.com or your links from hereintown.com
There are plenty of servers out there who are more than willing to cater
to any or all of the above and we would prefer if you would give your business
to them.
The democracy angle.
Someone once said that "democracy is a terrible form of government"..."but
it is so much better than all the rest".
Hereintown.com is not a democracy. We welcome suggestions both pro
and con as to how we can make it better and make your presence here better.
But, our decisions are final and they may not be negotiable.
In reality, this is the way most places of business run, we just tell
you this up front with no baloney or sugar coating.
All this leads us to the fact that our definition of any of the banned
concepts above is final.
We do not want hereintown.com to be controversial. We just want it
to help you be known on the internet.
How do we police?
We have not totally figured that
out yet. If you ask to be linked from hereintown.com we will look at your site
for content before linking.
What happens if we deem content to be unacceptable?
We do not intend to debate the issue, you just will never see the link
posted!
Thank you for understanding.
