contractually bound otherwise. It is the responsibility of this poster
to determine on their own if they are not allowed to discuss the subject of
their complaint, if this is the case, prior to posting a message to
TCG.

subject, that user takes it upon their own risk if they post a message
to TCG about that subject, because that message will be posted on
