Forum Rules

We are keen to encourage a lively and informed debate but at the same time we consider that some of the topics will require a closer level of editorial oversight. Consequently, we have introduced moderation for some of the discussions. When comments appear on the Forum they will either be “moderated” or “non-moderated”. Moderation means that our staff will check each comment before posting it onto the Site. We cannot guarantee that all comments can be published. We will publish as many comments as we can but we do retain the right to edit your comments or not publish them.
Please be polite. Do not use swear or crude words or sexual language. If you see a word that you find offensive, please bring it to the attention of the moderator, who will make a decision as to its suitability in the given context. If words are judged to be offensive, they will be removed.
You must not personally attack or troll a Forum member. Personal attacks are known as posts that are designed to put down or insult other Forum members. Trolling are posts that are deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting others. These types of comments are not beneficial to the Forum community and are not in the spirit of the Site. Comments that are judged to be personal attacks or trolling will be removed.
You must not advertise on the Forum. If you wish to advertise with us, please contact us directly.
You must not impersonate another Forum member or moderator. You must not pretend that you are unconnected to a story or topic when you are. Any personal connections to a story or topic must be disclosed.
Please do not include anyone else’s confidential or private information.
Please do not write anything that could prejudice pending or ongoing court proceedings of which you are aware. If you do, you could be in contempt of court.
We want to encourage safe and open discussions but if you think a comment breaks these rules, you can report it to the moderator by stating what you find unacceptable about the comment. If the comment is judged to be unacceptable the comment will be removed. If it is found to be acceptable, it will be allowed to remain on the Forum. This process may be automated and the comment may be removed automatically, before being reviewed by the moderator. Then it will either be reinstated or remain removed from the Site. Whilst we do have moderators, we are under no obligation to moderate the Forum and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of the Site or any feature on the Site by a user in contravention of these rules, whether the service is moderated or not. We will not normally enter into correspondence about complaints but may do so in special cases. Please do not abuse the complaints system. It is there to allow users to report any comments which you deem unsuitable and in breach of the rules. Similarly, please do not use the complaints system to complain about spelling errors, differences of opinion or multiple postings. Anyone who repeatedly abuses the complaints system simply because they disagree with comments may have their account suspended.
If you are under the age of 16, please get your parent’s or guardians’ permission before taking part in the Forum discussions. Please remember not to reveal any information about yourself (for example your telephone number, home address) without getting your parents’ or guardians’ permission first.
If you fail to abide by these Forum rules we reserve the right to terminate your account immediately. We accept no liability in respect of any comment submitted by users and we are not responsible for its content or accuracy. Please keep your comment relevant and in good taste. If any comment that is posted is illegal (for example defamatory), condones illegal activity (such as recommends drug taking) or infringes the copyright of a third party then it will be removed.

Suspension and termination

We will determine, in our discretion, whether there has been a breach of this acceptable use policy through your use of our Site. When a breach of this policy has occurred, we may take such action as we deem appropriate.

Failure to comply with this acceptable use policy constitutes a material breach of the terms of website use upon which you are permitted to use our Site, and may result in our taking all or any of the following actions:

Immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use our Site.
Immediate, temporary or permanent removal of any posting or material uploaded by you to our Site.
Issue of a warning to you.
Legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all costs on an indemnity basis (including, but not limited to, reasonable administrative and legal costs) resulting from the breach.
Further legal action against you.
Disclosure of such information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary.

We exclude liability for actions taken in response to breaches of this acceptable use policy. The responses described in this policy are not limited, and we may take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.

Changes to the Acceptable Use Policy

We may revise this acceptable use policy at any time by amending this document. You are expected to check this document from time to time to take notice of any changes we make, as they are legally binding on you. Some of the provisions contained in this acceptable use policy may also be superseded by provisions or notices published elsewhere on our Site.
