General

Applies to both Android and iOS apps: When connecting to our radio stream, your IP address will be sent to our radio service provider in order for us to track listening trends and provide licensing bodies with royalty reports. Once our service provider receives your IP it is immediately anonymized, deleted and becomes untraceable. This data is never sold on or passed to other companies. 

For iOS Apps

The KSRS-DB iOS App does not collect any user data when installed or launched on your device.

For Android Apps

The KSRS-DB Android App does not collect any user data during use. In order to provide audio control during Phone App use, the App will monitor the 'state' of the phone App (Idle, in call, call ended) if applicable on your device. At no point will the App be able to listen in or derive phone numbers or data. The Android App also requires access to local storage. This is to store the configuration for faster launch times.

Use Of Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can make the Web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site, like what items you have in a "shopping cart" for an online store. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many major Web sites use them to provide great features for their customers.

Suncityjamz.com has two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify unique preferences. Secondly, we use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas of the Suncityjamz.com service that our users find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a "cookie," visitors to Suncityjamz.com always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies.

You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of Suncityjamz.com service may not function properly if you refuse cookies.

Links To Sites

Users should be aware that when you are on Suncityjamz.com, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from Suncityjamz.com pages that take you outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a SmoothJazz.com search result, the "click" takes you off SmoothJazz.com site. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Suncityjamz.com's logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up!

Suncityjamz.com's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond the KSRS-DB's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.

Community Standards, Participation Guidelines and Moderation Aims

The aim of the Celebrity News Page is to help you, our valued guests, to understand our goals for lively and considered discussion, and the steps we take to create an inclusive and safe environment. We operate on one guiding principle: although we welcome passionate opinion and discussion, we have take a ‘zero tolerance’ view of any comments which we feel could be considered harmful. We understand there are differing views of what constitutes offensive or insulting comments. We understand there are concerns that society has become too focused on political correctness. Likewise, others feel that still not enough care is given to stamp out insensitive or hateful comments. We cannot please everyone, all the time.

We urge participants to flag (via the menu next to the offending comment) or email us (via our contact page) about a potentially inappropriate comment for review, whether out of concern for others or as a result of personal offence. We will gauge the merits of an observed or reported comment at our discretion, by our own internal standards, often through internal discussion. Any decision is both final and non-negotiable. However, where appropriate, and as time and circumstance allows, we will discuss a decision with the affected parties – for so long as the exchange remains reasonable, balanced and calm.

Things to know: 

Our comments run on the third-party Disqus platform. You can read its privacy policy, recently updated to reflect strict new privacy laws that will ultimately be applied for all users, here. You can register a Disqus profile either directly with Disqus, or with your Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts. Unlike the early policies of Facebook and Google, Disqus does not require you use your real name. Like Twitter, you are welcome to register a unique username.

Tone and attitude

Heated discussion and debate is welcome, but any comments that include a personal attack or hurtful words – against either a KSRS-DB writer or a participant in the discussion – is not acceptable. We will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such. Our goal is to ensure an inviting space for discussion. For this reason, we will at our own discretion distinguish between intelligent – be it calm or heated – and abusive, provocative discussion. We understand that among passionate enthusiasts, strong feelings can lead to arguments that extend beyond the original topic or purpose of the content to which a discussion thread belongs. There is a distinct line between criticizing a brand, company or product, and attacking people on the basis of their race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age – whether a fellow participant or as a general comment. We ask that you respect the rights of others to their own views, beliefs and preferences, and keep discussion ‘on topic’. Likewise, if we determine that your comments and interaction with other users is consistently negative or petty, adding nothing of value to the discourse, this may also lead to a suspension or ban. Again, we have no obligation to enter into discussion with you, in the event that you are penalized in this way.

MODERATION: We reserve the right to caution participants openly so that all can see the intent to redirect the flow of discussion, and we likewise reserve the right to remove offending comments and the posting privileges of any participants involved.

This may occur without warning or discussion, however we will make contact with involved participants where we deem it appropriate and worthy.

Clarity and intent

Be mindful that you may be misunderstood if you are not clear in your meaning. Review the content of your comment before posting, to best ensure your message will be taken as intended.

Without knowing the others involved in a discussion, it is not always possible to ensure your intention will be clear. You have an obligation, however, to make a clear and obvious effort. Remember that text is not always an ideal medium for discussion. The tone of your comment – be it serious, sarcastic or light-hearted – will not always be obvious. (Replying to an offended participant with “clearly you can’t take a joke” or “you obviously don’t understand sarcasm” is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.)

We accept criticism of our work, and will never take action against a comment or participant who chooses to voice disagreement or concern with our work. It should be noted, however, that we will not allow the comments section of any article to become bogged down with discussion of our moderation policies, and we will moderate accordingly.

MODERATION: If a comment critical of our work has been deleted, there will have been other factors involved, such as unnecessarily abusive or hurtful words. We will always take action against such a comment, in defense of our guests and of our writers alike. If a comment is removed, related comments may also be removed – whether offensive or not – so as to avoid a series of nonsensical ‘leftover’ comments. As noted, we will not always enter into discussion with every user affected by moderation, be it a deleted comment or a banned user. The huge and growing quantity of comments at CarAdvice.com means that we simply cannot reserve the time to discuss each and every action taken by our moderation team.

‘Shouting’ and other forms of attention-seeking

Online, the composing of entire words, sentences or posts in capital letters is generally considered ‘shouting’ and, in most communities, is frowned upon. Here, it is regarded as inappropriate conduct. Likewise, the use of HTML tags intended for appropriate emphasis – such as <b> and <i> – to change the appearance of an entire paragraph or post rather than a small handful of words, is also not accepted. In the same vein, the changing of font styles and colors will not be tolerated, and the overuse of ’emoji’ characters will also lead to moderation. These behaviors are considered an attempt to have one’s comment stand out from those of other participants, as they can surely serve no other obvious purpose than to speak over your fellow commenters.

MODERATION: Offending posts will be removed, repeat offenders may be banned.

User photos (Avatars)

As of December 5, 2019, we require that you avoid the use of distasteful imagery in your Disqus user photo/picture (also known as an avatar). This may include sexually explicit, suggestive or revealing imagery; depictions of violence or gore; crude imagery; the celebration or depiction of criminals or criminal activity; propaganda.

MODERATION: The criteria around this requirement may change without notice, and our team will moderate (suspend/ban/alert) at their discretion and without any obligation toward discussion on the matter.

Shadow profiles

Users are asked to maintain one profile only. If we determine that one user is maintaining multiple profiles – that is, more than one username in the comments section – the user will be warned openly in the discussion. If the user continues to maintain multiple profiles, their posting privileges will be removed.

If you feel you have been affected unjustly by this rule and wish to dispute the decision, you may contact Sun City Jamz and we will respond as time allows. 

Who Moderates Discussion?

The monitoring and moderation of discussion on suncityjamz.com is a responsibility shared by our editorial team, along with a small group of trusted community members who help to moderate comments, in consultation with our editorial team, which also provides guidance as needed. Each works on an ‘as time allows’ basis, and each is paid for their time and effort.

Automated Moderation: Word filter(s), Links

A portion of our moderation occurs through automation, by two factors: word filtering, and links.

Filter:

We use a word filter to automatically hold any offending or potentially offending comment in ‘pending’, where it waits for review. If a post contains a prohibited word or term, even if not with malicious intent, the post will not appear until approved by a member of our team.

It should also be noted that some words contain prohibited words within them. If that word is picked up by a ‘wildcard’ in our filter, it too will be held. We endeavor to approve these comments, where appropriate, as quickly as possible.

Links: 

To protect our site and visitors against spam and malware, links to external sites are not allowed and any post containing a link will be held in pending for review.

For obvious commercial reasons, links to competing websites are also not allowed. These posts will not be approved.

NOTE: Unfortunately, the design of the Disqus comment platform means that by disallowing links, users are also unable to easily link to CarAdvice.com articles and reviews. However, you are welcome to include a CarAdvice.com link and we will approve the comment as quickly as possible. 

What Can I Do To Help Maintain An Inviting Forum For Discussion?

As above, we ask that all participants maintain a respectful and considered attitude in discussion with each other. If you spot a comment that may be a problem, please flag it via the menu next to the offending comment. We ask that you do not engage in ‘vigilantism’ by attacking an offending commenter in kind. NOTE: These guidelines may be revised or updated at any time, without notice.
