Read about Censorship as it relates to The Hill. Read this blog regarding personal responsibility for all members.
Short Condensed version: Cloudeight's NotOverTheHill community is a place where everyone is welcome. This is a privately owned site and anyone, at anytime, can be removed or banned at owners discretion. We ask that you keep this a family-oriented site by not uploading "adult" images or using profane or abusive language. Flaming, antagonizing, verbal attacks, belittling, or harassing others will not be tolerated. It will be at our discretion if we give a warning or do a permanent ban on anyone who abuses this policy or anyone in this community. In other words, violations of the rights of others or of our simple code of conduct may result in members being banned. If you feel someone has violated TOS report it to ADMIN by using the "contact us" link found at the bottom of each page.
BLOGS: A blog, simply put, is something
you have written, or written about. As long as you are not slandering
anyone, we don't have too many rules. Please don't post things you have
copy/pasted from some place, don't advertise anything, don't link to
other sites, and don't use it for a sounding/complaint board.
We have a forum you can post pictures, recipes or jokes you want to
share; these are not considered blogs and will be removed. Greetings to
others, thank you's, etc. are not considered blogs and will be removed.
Remember, folks come to blogs to see what others have written, not to
see copy/pasted information. Our Blogs are picked up by Google, so
posted blogs can show up in search engines - be aware of that.
If we feel a blog is not acceptable, it will be deleted. We do not give
warnings, etc., it is just removed. Any concerns may be addressed to
Admin by using the Contact Us link found at the bottom of each page.
********************
We do not share your information with anyone, including your email address. The only way anyone can get your email address is if you share it with them. Our site "Message" feature is internal and does not use email address. If you opt in your personal settings to be notified of new messages or comments, you will get an email notifying you of this, but your email address is not shared or exposed to anyone, ever. You can reference Cloudeight's main privacy policy, which is in effect for this site and all Cloudeight owned websites: Click Here
Do not post links to competitive or similar sites on public pages or spread by private messages. This includes sites with similar interests as well, for example graphics groups, as many graphic groups have been formed here, blog sites (we have a blog section here), similar social networking sites, tiered sales sites you may be a member of, or any affiliate programs that you belong to. The site will not be used for promotion of your personal products via public areas. We do make exceptions on occasion, for example, a member makes vinyl window stickers for The Hill and ADMIN has approved this. You can place your personal site link on your own page as long as it is not a competing site and as long as the intention is not to drive members away from this site.
Linking to personal sites and other sites via your Headline or forum signature is not allowed as these show up on all forum posts you make and they redirect members from the site. Please limit the size of graphics if you use in this area, and do not use any kind of scripts, large animations or anything that will cause a page to load slowly.
Do not send Messages to attack or harass a member, or leave comments that are publicly attacking someone who has differing view or opinions from you. It will not be tolerated. Do not publicly discuss any blocks other members may have on you; it is not for discussion. If you feel someone is in violation, send us a copy via the "contact us" link found at the bottom of each page, of any messages, comments or posts made and we will look into it and act accordingly.
Do not spam of publicly ridicule others via messages, comments, blogs, bulletins, signatures, forums, etc. If you feel someone has violated TOS report it to ADMIN by using the "contact us" link found at the bottom of each page.
If someone blocks you from their
personal page, you will get the notice that you are blocked when you try
to visit their page. Your image will still show on their page as a
recent visitor. Please be respectful if someone blocks you and refrain
from attempted visits to a page you know you are blocked from. Also,
publicly trying to contact someone who has blocked you is against TOS
here, so do not try to make private issues public in forum posts,
comments, etc.
PRIVACY: To protect the privacy of our members, we do not discuss other member's personal information, details or private matters. If you are friends with another member and write to them personally and ask why they left, changed their profile, or were banned, it is up to that person if they want to share any details with you.
We do not share your email address with anyone and you should consider not
sharing with anyone unless you are very certain who they are and have been
friends long enough to be sure. If you share an email address with someone, we
are not responsible for any communication you have outside this site, ie.,
personal email.
PUBLIC FORUMS AND GROUPS: All groups have their own forum. If, at our discretion, we feel the topics are too controversial or do not reflect well on the community, we will make your group private. The reason for this, is because our site is indexed by Google and we do not want negativity to be reflected "publicly". By keeping your group private, only members may read your posts. Please be respectful to the topics in your groups as new topics show up to all members (the titles, not the contents). We ask that group creator/moderator monitor their groups so that ADMIN does not have to.

Third Party Advertising Privacy Policy
Cloudeight Internet, LLC, stands firmly against adware or spyware in any form. None of our software contains any spyware or adware. In order to provide you with over 5500 free downloads, we use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our Web sites but NEVER IN OUR SOFTWARE.
These ads provide a portion of the revenue required to operate and maintain our Web sites. These third-party advertising companies may separately place or recognize a cookie file on your browser in the course of delivering advertisements to our Web sites*. These companies may use information (not including your name, address email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please click the links below.
Cloudeight works with third parties that serve ads to this site. These ads are network ads; that is, these ads are served by ad networks that pay us for allowing them to use space on our site much as a television show sells "time" slots during their show. These ads support our site and provide essential income that allows us to remain viable and on the Web. Ad networks sell space to advertisers, we do not deal directly with these advertisers. We do not necessarily endorse, recommend, or advise the use of products advertised on our site by these ad networks anymore than your favorite TV show endorses, recommends, or advises the use of products or services advertised during your favorite TV show. Advertising keeps network TV free and advertising keeps our sites free.
We currently use network ads provided by Google, Burst, and Kontera. We might, from time to time, use advertisements provided by other networks.
As of June 2012 the following ad networks are paying us for space on our sites in which to display network ads:
To find out more about how Google manages the privacy of information in conjunction with serving advertisements on this site, please see: http://www.google.com/privacy.html

Third-Party Advertisers' and Site Partners' Privacy Policies
When clicking any advertisement displayed by ad networks like Google, BurstMedia, or Kontera, make sure you read the Privacy Policies of each ad network. The products advertised by these networks are not necessarily endorsed or recommended by us and therefore we assume no responsibility expressed or implied about the integrity, usefulness, or truthfulness of the products or services you see advertised. We advise you to make sure you understand the implications of downloading any software program advertised on our sites OR ANYWHERE on the Internet - by reading the privacy policies, terms of service, terms of use, and end user license agreement (EULA) of each software program you are considering downloading BEFORE you download. It's a good practice and a good habit to get into.
Advertising Disclaimer
Cloudeight Internet LLC is not responsible for
the content of any site linked to or from the Site when the link is to or from
any site not under our control. Your linking to any other site, not under our
control, is entirely at your own risk. While Cloudeight Internet LLC. may
provide links on this site to other sites, the inclusion of such links is for
your convenience only and should not necessarily be interpreted as an
endorsement of the owner/sponsor of the site or the content of the site or
products advertised or offered on that site. Cloudeight Internet LLC disclaims
all warranties, express and implied, as to the accuracy, validity, legality or
otherwise of any materials or information contained on any Web site not under
our control. All third party advertisements which appear on this site are served
by Google, Inc, Kontera, and/or Burstmedia. While Cloudeight makes a substantial
and focused effort to ensure that no objectionable advertisements appear on our
site, we cannot control the actions of the ad networks listed above and we
cannot be responsible for advertisements served by them and which, from
time-to-time, may appear on our site.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO OUR VISITORS
We strongly encourage you to read any EULA (End User License Agreement) and Privacy Policy when clicking ads on our site, especially when considering offers, products, services or software from 3rd party ads from Google, Kontera, Burstmedia and other sources. We do our best to monitor the third party advertisements and links which MAY appear on our Web sites. You are cautioned, however, that it is impossible for us to continually monitor them all. We URGE you, again, to read the privacy policy and EULA of any products you buy, download, or install no matter where you buy or download them from.
We advise you to install and maintain a good anti-virus program and two or more good anti-spyware programs. There are many so-called "Free Sites" on the Web that make their money by tricking you into downloading their products by claiming they are not adware or spyware. Installing two or more good anti-spyware programs, keeping them updated, and scanning your computer for adware and spyware frequently, is good insurance against you being used as an advertising billboard or search engine shill for multi-million dollar companies who will use any method to get their software installed on your computer.
