It may not be, but it might be OK.
In section 2 of the "agreement"
By posting your material on the Site, you are granting us and our
affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty free, perpetual, and worldwide
license to use your content on the Site until you remove or delete it,
including, but not limited to, the right to copy, distribute, transmit,
display, perform, reproduce, edit, translate, reformat, and/or
incorporate into a collective work. Whenever possible, we will credit
you as an author, and you agree to give us the right to use your name
for attribution purposes.
In particular note "edit, translate, reformat, and/or incorporate into a
collective work". All of those stipulations require further specifics,
in my opinion. The stuff before "edit" is pretty much what's required
to display it on a web site without broaching IP rights. I've got some
issues with the unconstrained "and our affiliates" language, too, though
maybe I'm being pedantic or naive.
Other than that, it's a pretty reasonable ToS. I haven't dug into the
site beyond the ToS, though.
