| 5. | Uploading, posting, emailing, or transmitting the same message, URL, or post multiple times. |
| 6. | Disrupting the normal flow of dialogue, or causing the screen to "scroll" faster than other users of the service are able to type, or otherwise acting in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in real-time exchanges. |
Certain Deaf Friend Spot services may have additional spam guidelines explaining appropriate conduct for those services. Those additional policies are incorporated by reference into the Deaf Friend Spot Universal Spam Policy. It is the user's responsibility to check each property's guidelines for additional details regarding spam. Violations of our Terms of Service or this Universal Spam Policy may result in legal action against you and the termination, without notice, of your Deaf Friend Spot ID and/or anything associated with it, including, but not limited to, email accounts, clubs, posts, home pages, and profiles. Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit email to or through Deaf Friend Spot computer systems. Deaf Friend Spot does not waive any rights by the failure to enforce this policy in every instance in which it might apply.
