Registration Agreement

Note: please ensure your email address is correct.  You will be sent an email to this address from wxforum.net to validate your email when your account is manually approved.  If your spam blocker prevents you from seeing the validation email, and you fail to complete the email validation within 21 days, your registration will be deleted, and you can retry your registration.  If your validation email bounces due to 'user not known' (incorrect email address), your registration will be deleted since we have no way to contact you.

Sometimes, the wxforum.net emails get bounced due to other websites causing the common email egress to become blacklisted, and you will not receive the validation email.  This happens most frequently on cox.net, comcast.net, sbcglobal.net, earthlink.net, btinternet.net, rr.net, t-online.de, tin.it and att.net addresses.  We recommend you use either outlook.com, hotmail.com or gmail.com addresses (where the validation email sometimes flows into the 'junk' or 'spam' folder instead of bouncing) or an email address on your weather website.  Use our contact form if you are having issues with registration or email validation.  You can also send direct email to admin at wxforum.net if you find the contact form does not work for you.

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, political speech, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material.
