Public Forums. Our Site makes forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. The Knitting Guild Association prohibits users from using any information gleaned from public profiles or other personal information contained on any of our Board forums or Chat rooms, or other TKGA web services, for the purpose of sending unsolicited commercial emails, "hate emails" or "spam" to our members.
