the comparison means compares the contribution subject position information acquired per one piece of the specific information with the acquired terminal position information, and

the determination means determines a situation of output of the acquired contribution information on posting based on a comparison result between the contribution subject position information indicating a position closest to the position indicated by the acquired terminal position information among the contribution subject position information acquired per one piece of the specific information, and the terminal position information.

8. The server device according to claim 2, further comprising:

a word extraction means that extracts at least one of a negative word and a positive word from the contribution information; and

a range determination means that determines a position range in which the contribution information is permitted to post based on an extraction result by the word extraction means,

wherein when a position indicated by the acquired terminal position information is included in the determined range from a position indicated by the acquired contribution subject position information, the determination means determines to permit the posting.

9. The server device according to claim 2, further comprising:

an identification information acquisition means that acquires identification information for identifying a user of the terminal device;

a contribution information storage control means that stores the acquired contribution information in a contribution information storage means in association with the acquired identification information;

a frequency information acquisition means that acquires frequency information indicating the number of permissions by the determination means for posting the contribution information corresponding to the acquired identification information; and

a range determination means that determines a position range in which the contribution information is permitted to post based on the acquired frequency information and enlarges the range as the number indicated by the frequency information is larger,

wherein when a position indicated by the acquired terminal position information is included in the determined range from a position indicated by the acquired contribution subject position information, the determination means determines to permit the posting.

13. The server device according to claim 2, further comprising:
