Our house rules are pretty obvious really: in short, don't be offensive, irrelevant, abusive, inciteful, theatening, and don't make things up about people. If the moderator thinks you have, your post will not be displayed and not even recorded for the database.
Remember, this forum is looking for solutions, not rehashing old grievances.
If you are deemed to have abused the rules your submission will not be posted : it will literally have been a waste of time.
Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant. Please:
- No defamatory comments. A defamatory comment is one that is capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation. If successfully sued you could be held liable for considerable damages and costs.
- Avoid contempt of court which means not posting anything that risks prejudicing on-going or forthcoming court proceedings.
- Do not incite people to commit any crime, including incitement of racial hatred.
- Avoid breaking a court injunction (for example, naming an individual or speculating as to their current whereabouts after a court has issued an injunction against doing so).
- Do not post messages that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented or racially offensive.
- Do not make multiple postings. So that we can publish comments from as many different people as possible, participants should keep their number of contributions per debate to a reasonable level. Multiple posts from one individual, or small number of individuals, discourages many others who might otherwise wish to take part.
- No spamming or flooding. Don't repost the same message, or very similar messages, more than once.
- No personal information. It is not acceptable to publicise your or anyone else's contact details including address, place of employment, name of educational establishment, telephone or mobile number, email address, etc. This is for your own safety and that of everyone who uses this service.
- Keep your posts relevant. Posts which aren't relevant lower the value of the debate for everyone and may be removed.
- No advertising, promotion of products or services, or posting of web links (URLs). If you know of a worthy web site relevant to the discussion, please inform the moderators via the Contact Us link.
- Post in English only. Posts containing languages other than English may not be posted. Common greetings and salutations in languages other than English may be acceptable.
- No impersonating. Impersonating someone (including other contributors) is unacceptable.
