Forum Rules

1. Treat other members with the respect they deserve. This should go without saying, but treat others like you would like to be treated !
2. The forum language is English only! Please only post in other languages in PM.
3. Please do not spam. The definition of spam is an irrelevant or advertising post. Any post considered spam will be removed.
4. Please do not post threads text in all CAPITALS since this is considered to be shouting and is not necessary.
5. Please refrain from posting images larger than 800x600. This is considerate to members with slow internet speeds, and keeps the forum looking tidy.
6. Insulting and flaming or personal attacks against others will be not tolerated.
7. Please be considerate in language you use on the forum, some of our members are younger than others.
8. No hacking, and illegal activity, such as torrents and illegal downloads, this will not be tolerated, and if appropriate, may be reported to local authority.
9. Please do not post inappropriate material, I think everyone understands what I mean by this. The policy goes that if you would not feel comfortable viewing it at work, or in front of children or parents, don't post it !

What happens if I break a rule ?

While it can depend on the severity of the infraction, the usual practice is as follows :

1st rule break (Minor offense)

Corrected, A PM may of been sent, no further action taken. For a more serious offense, a warning will be issued, this is a mark against your name letting us know you have broken a rule

2nd rule break.

One more warning

3rd rule break

On your 3rd offense, you will receive a temporary ban, the length of which will depend on the severity of the incident.

Finally...on another breach of rules :

It will be assumed you will not learn your lesson, so you will receive a permanent ban, meaning you will never be able to visit the forum again.
