We also know that there are folks who like to read a terms of service and try to stay just this side of the line on it, while still violating its spirit. Every forum moderator knows the type. That's why we have a general conduct rule; if you're that kind of person, you'll get booted summarily. | ||

We have no interest in kicking anyone off Outpost. Outpost's founder started a publisher recommendation company 10 years ago and has never had to kick a site off, despite having very similar terms of service. The goal here is to be very clear about who's a good fit and who isn't. If you like to play footsie with "race" science, think it's clever to put up pictures of trans people without their consent and claim you are protecting lesbians, or traffic in white grievance politics/alt-right light fascism, find another service. There's plenty of them. This won't be a good home for you. | ||

Please be aware, however, Outpost will not engage with or be swayed by bad faith attempts to silence Outpost publishers. Outpost will, at its discretion, ignore such attempts or actively fight them. Outpost's founder is also a former journalist and editor, jobs that entail writing and defending writing that others don't like. | ||

Outpost also has no toleratnce for those who threaten or harrass Outpost publishers. Outpost will use all technical and legal means necessary to protect our publishers from those who harass or threaten them. | ||

Please read them carefully and reach out to us if you have any questions. **These Terms include a mandatory arbitration provision in Section 16. If you don’t agree to these Terms, don’t use our services.** | ||
We’ve built these Terms using the model created by the fine folks at Automattic, best known for making WordPress, and this version, like theirs, is available under a [Creative Commons Sharealike license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), which means that you’re more than welcome to copy them, adapt them, and repurpose them for your own use. Just make sure to revise them so that your Terms of Service reflect your actual practices. Also, if you do use these Terms, we’d appreciate a credit and link to the original folks, [Automattic](https://automattic.com) somewhere on your website. You can grab a copy of their Terms and other legal documents on [GitHub](https://github.com/Automattic/legalmattic). | ||
