If you leave your email address on a public message in any forum/message board or guestbook on this website such identifying information WILL BE REMOVED before it is submitted for public viewing.

Bang Shang a Lang reserves the right to delete such 'private' messages after the collection of identifying information or after responding to any issues raised in any such 'private' guestbook entries. UPDATE: Due to an influx of repetitive, harassment-like messages, the Bang Shang a Lang message board/guestbook is now fully-moderated and entries will not be posted in the public area before they are reviewed by the Bang Shang a Lang webmasters/management organisation.

HOW TO LEAVE A 'PRIVATE' MESSAGE IN THE GUESTBOOK ON THIS WEBSITE: 1. Enter the guestbook by clicking on the Guestbook button on the main menu page or from the Guestbook button on other pages 2. Click the 'Sign this Guestbook' button 3. Type your 'private' message remembering to include your email address 4.

Users must not upload, post, publish or transmit any unlawful, fraudulent, libellous, defamatory, obscene, threatening, abusive or otherwise objectionable information of any kind, in any area of the Website including on message boards and in guestbook areas. Bang Shang a Lang considers as constituting objectionable information any information which constitutes or encourages the breach of any intellectual property right including copyright whether such right is owned by Bang Shang a Lang or any third party.

Bang Shang a Lang reserves the right to remove or edit (without notice) any item of information which it considers to be in breach of these Terms of Use and to disclose any information as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request. Bang Shang a Lang also reserves the right to bar any user from the message board and guestbook areas of the Website if he or she uploads, posts, publishes or transmits objectionable information in these areas. Objectionable messages include those which constitute what Bang Shang a Lang considers to be harassing, repetitive, haranguing or spam-like in any manner. Users who continue to post similar messages may find that their messages will no longer appear in the published area of the message board.

Bang Shang a Lang may, from time to time, post official responses to messages that appear in the published area of the message board but are under no obligation to do so....these responses will generally be posted when the message is in the form of a question; every attempt will be made to answer valid questions posted in this area of the website. If questions have been previously answered elsewhere, either in the Bang Shang a Lang main website or on the official message board, users may either be referred to these earlier responses or, alternately, their questions may not be published.

Any user of this Website should contact us immediately by email at bangshangalang@popstar.com if he or she feels that any message posted on any message board or the content of any guestbook is objectionable in any way.
