Forums Posting Guidelines

[Ross]

*Please see our standard community guidelines on user generated content.

Please be aware that this is a site that is used by people of many ages, from teens (and possibly younger) up to OAPs. To ensure a pleasant atmosphere for all, the site uses a swear filter. Bad language trying to circumvent the filter will be moderated/deleted and result in warnings / possible bans.

This is a forum for debate and discussion. It is not intended to allow personal attacks (be it on individuals, groups of individuals or other forums), rudeness, insulting posts or **** inflammatory posts.

Spamming, flooding, trolling and flaming will not be tolerated.

Deliberate double and treble posting to make a point will not be tolerated. If you are able to, please delete your own accidental double/treble posts using the cross in the right hand corner above the relevant post.

Using multiple accounts for whatever reason may result in action being taken against all of those accounts. If you are doing this WE WILL FIND YOU OUT. Similarly, anyone repeatedly posting using anonymous IP addresses may be banned in order to safeguard the security of this forum.

If you must post images to the forum, please do so while bearing in mind the potential ages of the audience, the actual size of the image (in terms of both file size and dimensions on the page) and any copyright issues. If possible, it would be preferable if you post a link to the image you want to draw attention to.

The use of text speak should be avoided at all times. There is no excuse for its use when there is a full keyboard in front of you with each letter available at a single keypress.

Please do not post in 'ALL CAPITALS'. It is considered to be 'shouting'.

Please try and keep to the topic of the thread you're posting in. Do not go off topic. We have off topic sections so **** into there to have chats between users.

While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate all circumstances. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.

We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice, restrict the permissions of a user or their ability to access the forum and to ban anyone who violates the forum rules as defined in this post. Any threads/ posts/ users that breach any of the above may be deleted, modified or moved without notice.

The administrators and moderators may enter into discussion about decisions taken but are not obliged to. Persistent PMing of admins/moderators without a good reason may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the site.

Finally, these rules are with the intention of giving everyone as enjoyable an experience on the site as is possible. This is not an attempt at censorship and should not be considered as such.

The decision of the administration team is final.
