Terms Of Service


Recommended Posts

Spelling and grammar: You guys know how to write; I have no doubt about that. Please take the time to read over your posts before you post them to ensure that it's not confusing. This includes proper spelling, punctuation, and capitalization mainly. AND PLEASE DON'T YELL!

Overuse of emotions - Use the emotions (smileys) as needed, but don't end your posts with more than one of them. That's not necessary, it junks up the forums.

One-word responses - One-word responses are unacceptable for anything with the exception of the forum games. This is simply because it's unusual for a one-word response to actually have any merit or thought put into it. If you agree with someone, let us know why, don't just leave us hanging with "^agreed". This is also specifically hard on our dial up users who have to download the whole template constantly with really no content in it.

Spamming the forums - If a new user is created and they make a mindless thread or post, we will take strong action to remove you from the community.
a - not a real person
b - will never have any merit to KIC and would simply disrupt the community that we all worked so hard for.
This counts for non-KI related threads or posts, double posting (you have an EDIT function!), as well as one-word responses, intentionally bad information, or ignorance of previous posts.

Respect - This is totally obvious so I'm not going into detail, but I will tell you this: if you get angry or frustrated, put out the flame thrower because a post that's disrespectful to another user, group, or individual is going to constitute a warning.

Due to the board's history of political turbulence, general political talk is NOT welcome on the boards unless it is unbiased and DIRECTLY related to the matter at hand (i.e. Local Senators meet at KI). Threads or posts that the staff deems to be at risk of causing disrespect or result of people feeling threatened will be removed by the staff.

Signatures- Please limit signature banners to 468x60 pixels or smaller. You may only have one signature banner image. Also, please limit text to about 6 lines or less.

Children under the age of 13 may NOT register on the KICentral.com forums or post comments in any KICentral.com photo gallery.

Forum games can only be created with the permission of the KICentral staff. Starting a forum game without permission is a violation of your terms of service.

Speaking without the concern or not in the interest of KICentral, its community, or its members is a violation of an individual user's terms of service.

Posting information that is not public record and could be damaging to the reputation, business and/or day to day operation of Kings Island or its affiliates is a violation of the terms of service. Any information posted claiming to be from an inside source or claiming to be confirmed, when not being released from Kings Island or Cedar Fair, must be posted along with the name of the source. Failure to do so is a violation of an individual user's terms of service.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this KICentral message board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violation of any law.

The administrators reserve the right to disclose posters' information in compliance with a valid court order, legal obligation, or legitimate request by one seeking to protect human life, safety, property rights or professional reputation.

If any of these rules are violated under your screen name. Whether or not they were your doing. YOU are responsible for anything posted or sent under your screen name.

Please remember that we are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of KICentral. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by reporting it. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this KICentral message board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

If any of these rules are violated under your screen name. Whether or not they were your doing. YOU are responsible for anything posted or sent under your screen name.

You agree to respect the intellectual property rights of others by, for example, linking to images and photographs that are not your original works and including an attribution; properly capitalizing trade names, trademarks and service marks and by only quoting short portions of published works and linking to the source where available--not posting entire articles belonging to another, whether copyrighted or not. Not respecting the intellectual property rights of others is a violation of the terms of service.

Drone Footage/Media - Kings Island has officially banned flying of drones around their park. The park has asked us to not encourage, promote, distribute, advertise, link-to, or display any media taken from a drone from around the park.

Members shall observe and abide by all park rules and regulations set forth by Kings Island and any other park. Any videos that show park rules being broken and/or the discussion of you breaking park rules on the forums is a violation of an individual user's terms of service.  Therefore, those posts will be removed and constitute a warning and possible removal from the community.

Accounts representing brands or organizations shall not be overly soliciting or promoting of their brand/group. Accounts should be respectful of other members not wanting to feel spammed.

Please note that questions regarding Kings Island's ticket sales, season pass information, and hours of operation should be directed towards the park by calling 1-800-288-0808, or by visiting their contact page.
