2.4. Our rights to the Content are limited in the following ways:

You can end our license for any particular piece of Content by deleting it from the Community or by closing your Community account. However, if you have shared the Content with others and they have made a copy or stored your Content, it may not be completely deleted from the Community.
We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your Content outside of the Community. However, other advocates of the Community may access and share your Content consistent with the functionality of the Community.
While we will not modify or amend your Content, we may make formatting changes to your Content.

2.5. If you participate in any Challenges, we may award you points based on your successful completion of the Challenge. We will automatically track your points for you. We will also display a leaderboard within the Community that sets out the number of points each Advocate has. This leaderboard is viewable by all other advocates of the Community. Please note that you can remove yourself from the leaderboard at any point in time, in your sole discretion.

2.6. We appreciate your thoughts about the Community. By submitting suggestions or other feedback about the Community to us, you agree that we can use and share (but do not have to use or share) such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.
