Hi all,

A reminder of the forum charter below. Admins would particularly emphasise that forum users should only register and post from one account.
  • Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.
  • Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning or ban depending on the severity of the infringement. Attack the post, not the poster.
  • Members should be mindful that this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning/ban.
  • Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". Users should not SHOUT or use text speak!
  • Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstances. The post will be deleted and the user banned immediately.
  • Trolling will not be tolerated. A troll is defined a person who promotes discord on the forum by trying to start arguments and upset people usually by voicing outrageous opinions.
  • The moderators reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post at any time.
  • The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to sanctions (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.
  • Users have the option to be anonymous on the forum, i.e. use a pseudonym. If a user makes this choice, it is against the rules to publicly try and identify them.
  • Users are permitted to utilise a gallery avatar or to link to one of their own. User defined avatars are to be no larger than 120 pixels square, Avatars are subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, etc.
  • Only goods and services that are legal in the real world can be advertised on the forum. Alcohol or tobacco products cannot be bought or sold on the forum.
  • Users should register and post from one account only.
  • Any post that Admins deem to be potentially libellous will be removed. Members are requested to bear this in mind when mentioning any specific individual or organisation. This is necessary as the forum is privately owned and members are anonymous. The forum owner can be identified and may be subject to litigation resulting from forum content.
Regards,

Ken.
