J. Enforcement and Moderation
PDA may investigate and prosecute violations of this Policy to the fullest legal extent. PDA may notify and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting violations of the law and this Policy.
To ensure a healthy discussion environment, we may engage both human moderators and automated software to assist with the moderation of posts.

We reserve the right to change, redact, and delete content on the Forum for any reason. Posts that violate this Policy or detract from the quality of the discussion may be removed. There is no legal right to have your post published. Similarly, there is no legal right to have posts deleted, as this may require the removal of entire discussion threads due to content dependencies.
Users who repeatedly violate this Policy will be banned from the Forum. In severe cases, user accounts may be permanently suspended, and re-registration may be prohibited.

L. Third-party Content
Our Forum may contain content from third parties, including other users, bloggers, and third-party licensors.
