You have used lower-case versions in the vast majority of the text, so I have edited accordingly. (While defined terms are usually capitalized, “us”, “we”, “you” “our”, etc. generally don’t have to be if use is made clear, which you are doing.)

As discussed with Stephen, it is odd to include this in a public-facing terms and conditions. It would usually be included in an internal policy and reinforced with employee training. Note that adding it here might lead some to ask whether you should be restricting the ability of third-party service providers to post and comment as well, but I am assuming you are not doing so and do not have any intention of doing so. Please let me know if this assumption in incorrect.
