Forum Rules: To ensure healthy discussion and to protect other members we advise that all members read the forum rules. Forum Rule - Posting in capitals On the Internet, the posting in all capitals is the same as shouting and as such is considered rude and offensive. Threads using only capitals are subject to closing as moderators see fit. Repeated breach of this rule will result in the offender being warned, see thread entitled, Forum Rule - Warning Procedure Offensive, abusive and racist remarks are strictly forbidden. The level of warning may vary depending on the severity see thread entitled, Forum Rule - Warning Procedure. To prevent spamming and members privacy the posting of email addresses is not permitted in main threads. Repeated breach of this rule will result in the offender being warned, see section entitled, Forum Rule - Warning Procedure Email addresses can be found in member profiles if needed. No flooding of threads and posts will be permitted in any forum. (Flooding means, creating/repeating threads/posts) Repeated breach of this rule will result in the offender being warned, see section entitled, Forum Rule - Warning Procedure. Links may only be used if relevant to a thread and in an attempt to help a fellow member. i.e. where do I find report writing software? Admins/Mods have the final say on what is or isn't allowed. Depending on what the link contains and in what context it is posted, the penalties for this may vary see section entitled Forum Rule - Warning Procedure. This is a severe breach of the Forum Rules. Penalty Guidelines: First Offence = Instaban Second Offence = Life Time Ban Piracy of Intellectual Property and/or any Copyrighted Material is illegal. The advertising, promotion or admittance of this illegal act on these forums will not be tolerated in any shape or form. At the Mods discretion, breach of this Forum Rule may result in a ban. Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this BB or any entity associated with this BB. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email.

This is a manual process, however, so please realise that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

Upon entering the message board please pay particular attention to the Forum Rules forum. This lists in more detail what is considered acceptable or unacceptable practices for using the board. Listed below are the guidelines that Admins/Mods use in the event of a breach of the Forum rules. Please note, depending on the severity of the offence Admins/Mods may issue any level of card at their discretion. Admins/Mods will set the length of time for all cards/bans. The warning will be displayed below the user's name in all threads... 1) Warning = First Warning 2) Yellow Card = Second Warning 3) Red Card = Removal of access rights to the message board following stage I) and 2) 4) Instaban = Automatic ban with removal of access rights to the message board. This is used for more severe beaches of the Forum rules. 5) Life Time Ban = User will not be permitted to return under any circumstances. Examples of how it will look under the username Warning (expires 01.01.02, flooding, Moderators Name) Yellow Card (expires 01.01.02, abuse, Moderators Name) Red Card (expires 01.01.02, abuse, Moderators Name) Instaban (expires 01.01.02, racism Moderators Name) Life Time Ban (issued 01.01.02, use of alias whilst serving a ban, Moderator’s Name) Once the expiry date has passed the user may contact one of the moderators asking for the warning/ban to be removed/lifted. Existing Administrators do the appointing of Moderators. The offer of a moderator’s position will be for a one-month trial covering one forum. Once the trial is finished, full Modship may be offered with the possibility of moderating more forums. So what do we look for in a Moderator? A) Regular quality posts B) Good refereeing knowledge C) Respect the Forum Rules and Guidelines. D) Be a long serving member of the message board. E) Be able to post on the board throughout the week F) Someone who is mature, sensible, constructive and always willing to lend a hand to fellow board members.
