It may depend on the access method you employ.
Say you were accessing TRB via Google Groups...
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.religion.buddhism?lnk=li
The terms of use include...

"6. Appropriate Conduct

You agree that you are responsible for your own conduct and
communications while using the Service and for any consequences
thereof. You agree to use the Service only to send and receive messages
and material that are legal, proper and related to the particular
Group. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when
using the Service, you will not:

* defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the
legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others;
* post any inappropriate, defamatory, infringing, obscene, or
unlawful Content;
* post any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, copyright,
trade secret or other proprietary right of any party (the "Rights"),
unless you are the owner of the Rights or have the permission of the
owner to Post such Content;
* post messages that promote pyramid schemes, chain letters or
disruptive commercial messages or advertisements, or anything else
prohibited by the Group owner.
* download any file Posted by another user of a Group that you
know, or reasonably should know, that cannot be legally distributed in
such manner;
* impersonate another person or entity, or falsify or delete any
author attributions, legal or other proper notices or proprietary
designations or labels of the origin or source of software or other
material contained in a file that is Posted;
* restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the
Service;
* use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose;
* remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights
notices contained in or on the Service;
* interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks
connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures,
policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service;
* use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or
other device to retrieve or index any portion of the Service or collect
information about users for any unauthorized purpose;
* submit Content that falsely expresses or implies that such
Content is sponsored or endorsed by Google;
* create user accounts by automated means or under false or
fraudulent pretenses;
* promote or provide instructional information about illegal
activities or promote physical harm or injury against any group or
individual; or
* transmit any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, or any items
of a destructive nature.

International users agree to comply with their own local rules
regarding online conduct and acceptable content, including laws
regulating the export of data to the United States or your country of
residence.

While Google prohibits such conduct and Content in connection with the
Service, you understand and agree that you nonetheless may be exposed
to such conduct and/or Content and that you use the Service at your own
risk."

So far the most serious complaints I have attracted
are for things I haven't done but Iexpect there to be
an lurking exception for me at some point.

If you have a problem...
