FORUM RULES
The purpose of these guidelines is to give people an idea of what we should expect from each other. The ultimate aim is for everyone to enjoy being part of the community and feel comfortable with the discussions.
Should there be any queries; members can post a question on the forum.

The deal...
It is essential that members adhere to Moderator instructions.
Failure to comply with moderator instructions will result in an expulsion warning or immediate suspension.
Please note that decisions regarding these guidelines are done at Admin's discretion.

REPORTING POSTS
Every member has the option to report another member's post. The icon for this is in the post and the member making the report is asked to give a reason. The report is then automatically emailed to the relevant Mod or Admin. Please note that the report function is specifically set up to report posts which are defamatory and/or place the site at risk. It is primarily there so member's can assist the Moderators and in such cases,the report is much appreciated. This service is not to be abused and is not meant for sorting feuds.

POSTING PRIVATE MATERIAL
Posting another member's private information without permission is forbidden. This includes photographs, private conversations or private details about another member's circumstances.
There may be exceptions but this is at the discretion of management and depends on the nature of the complaint.


REPRODUCING / COPYING MATERIAL ONTO OTHER WEBSITES
Please note that permission is required before any material posted on these forums can be reproduced on other websites or in any other publication or document. This applies to all members and guests and includes current material as well as material which has been deleted or archived.


OFFENSIVE MATERIAL
Any material which is deemed to be aggressive or sexually explicit will be deleted. This includes images and in particular, avatars and signature files.
Deletion of any material is at the discretion of the Administrators and the Moderators.
For those wishing to engage in aggressive and/or sexually explicit discussion, there are many sites which can cater for your needs.


WHAT WE DON'T DELETE
The people who set up this site have always made an effort to allow as much freedom of expression as possible. We do realise however that this will sometimes be put to the test.
In basic terms, Mods will only delete text or images if they feel they have a good reason to do so.
1.) Mods will not delete text which is simply part of a heated debate (with both sides giving back what they receive)
2.) Mods will not delete anything simply because the text or image holds an opinion contrary to their own.

Thats all the rules. Obey the rules!!!!

Thanks,

Supreme Administration
