Welcome to The Coober Pedy Bush Telegraph!
We value the contributions of our users and aim to provide a platform for sharing news, stories, and insights about our community. However, to ensure a respectful and constructive environment, we have established the following guidelines and disclaimer:
1. **Content Responsibility**
The stories, opinions, and views expressed in submissions are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the site owners, administrators, or staff. We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, or validity of any content posted by users.
2. **Submission Policy**
While we welcome story submissions from the public, publication is at the discretion of the site administrators. Submissions may be reviewed for relevance, quality, and adherence to our guidelines. Stories that include inappropriate, defamatory, or harmful content, including but not limited to threatening, racist, hateful, or illegal material, will not be published.
3. **Zero Tolerance for Harmful Content**
We do not tolerate any form of threatening, discriminatory, or abusive material. Submissions that violate these principles may result in removal from the site and potential reporting to the relevant authorities.
4. **No Guarantee of Publication**
Submitting a story does not guarantee its publication. By submitting, users acknowledge that their story may be edited for clarity, length, or appropriateness, or it may not be published at all based on editorial discretion.
5. **User Accountability**
By submitting content, users agree that they hold all necessary rights to the material and will not submit anything that infringes on the rights of others. Users are solely responsible for the content they provide.
6. **Reporting and Moderation**
If you come across content that you believe violates our guidelines, please report it to the site administrators for review. We strive to address concerns promptly and maintain a safe and respectful platform.
7. **Publication Times**
While staff will endeavour to get your story published as quickly as possible, it could take up to 24 hours to upload your story. This will be dictated by staff availability and possible technical issues. If we deny your submission, we will always make the best effort to reply with a reason to your submitted email address.
By using this site, you agree to adhere to these terms and conditions. Thank you for contributing to our community news platform and helping us maintain a positive space for information sharing.
