Our Services
EnergyDams has set up the EnergyDams WordWiki to create and maintain a free, broadly acceptable, current list of American English words for use in entertainment. To achieve this objective we
- host and organize the associated community,
- host the wiki, and
- serve as the primary editors of the word lists.
Therefore, EnergyDams is responsible for what appears in the word lists. However, we are not responsible for what happens within the community. You are legally responsible for your comments and contributions within the WordWiki Community. You must, therefore, be careful that your comments and contributions do not result in criminal or civil liability under applicable law. Neither EnergyDams nor any of its representatives, employees, or contractors can provide protection, guarantee, immunity, or protection from prosecution or other liability.
Privacy
EnergyDams does not track your behavior or share any personally identifiable information with anyone. Email addresses and other information provided within the context of the EnergyDams WordWiki Community are available to other members of community as shown in the member profile. We do not sell, share, or lend your information to third parties and we do not make use of your information except for the routine operation of the WordWiki and the associated community. We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect your information within the context of the EnergyDams WordWiki Community.
Content
Some words are considered inherently objectionable by certain people according to religious or cultural belief systems. However, EnergyDam’s objective is to provide a complete word list; with regards to the existence of words, we are purely descriptive. You are expected, therefore, to accept, or at least tolerate, the appearance of these words in the list as an inherent part of the mission.
Abstain from Certain Activities
EnergyDams relies on the free and open exchange of ideas about the WordWiki content. A free and open exchange of ideas in turn relies on mutual respect, decorum, and tolerance. Therefore, we insist that community members adhere to the basic principles of Civil Discourse. We can promise that you will not be removed from the Community based on the substance of your ideas. However, you may be removed if you cannot adhere to the following basic rules of Civil Discourse:
- Show Courtesy, Respect, and Tolerance towards others and the ideas of others.
- Distinguish between facts, opinions, and feelings. Focus on facts. Respect the opinions and feelings of others. Leave your feelings out of the discussion.
- Provide citations, where possible, to support facts and opinions.
- Comment on ideas and facts, not on people.
- Allow others to express their views.
- Avoid drowning out the views of others through overly long or repeated opinions.
Community members will not knowingly post information that is
- Libelous or defamatory
- False, misleading, or deceptive
- Fraudulent
- Incendiary or emotionally provocative
Community members may not impersonate another person, whether or not the other person is a member of the community, or misrepresent their own affiliation with another individual or entity.
Threats, harassment, and stalking will not be tolerated.
Posting child pornography or links to child pornography or any other content related to child pornography will not be tolerated.
Posting, promoting, or trafficking in content that violates applicable law is prohibited.
No advertising or promotion of products or services other than EnergyDams products and services is permitted within the community. This ban includes spam, splogging, junk mail, and chain mail.
Members may not solicit personal information from other members for harassment, stalking, advertising, spamming, or other illegal purpose.
You may not:
- Post or distribute malware or viruses or any other device or code that could harm or disrupt the legitimate activities of EnergyDams, its hosting service provider, or members of the community.
- Disrupt the service by any means, whether automated or manual.
- Knowingly access the non-public areas of our web site or of our service provider’s systems.
