Notizie.it User Agreement

“User” refers to any individual who loads any material to or from the Notizie.it server. A “user” includes, but is not limited to, article authors, 3rd party forum participants (anyone who has posted on a forum who is not a Member), individuals who make facebook comments on any of the Notizie.it website properties, and article commentators.

“Member” means any person who writes an article on the Notizie.it site or any person who joins the Notizie.it community by opening an account.

“Moderate”, “moderated content”, “moderation” refers to a process by Notizie.it where content is reviewed on a random sampling basis or due to comments or feedback by 3rd parties. Notizie.it uses a part active, part passive moderation regime. Active moderation is conducted primarily on a random sampling basis. Passive moderation results from feedback by 3rd parties. Due to the massive volume of content posted to Notizie.it, not all content can be reviewed actively, and therefore a large amount of content is automatically posted. Notizie.it does not warrant that any specific articles(s) or comment(s) has been actively moderated, reviewed or even seen by a human being.

“Approved” articles may simply have passed through a review period and may NOT have been actively moderated, or even viewed, by a human being. Active human moderation is primarily done on a random sampling basis.
