Your Rights and Obligations
To minimize misunderstandings and to maintain a polite and professional atmosphere we have a set of Forum Rules to govern and control the manner in which the Forum is used by all. There are also legal ramifications that can arise from forum posts so these rules serve to protect you. You use of the forum assumes you have read and agree to abide by these rules.
You also accept to have your post(s) moderated for any breach of these rules. If the behaviour of another forum user or the content of any messages that you receive via the forums makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, please feel free to contact a staff member or moderator.
Respect the Community
Always treat fellow posters, users & staff with respect and courtesy. While debating and discussion is fine, but we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting language, threatening or personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Therefore to maintain harmony and goodwill, any user (Staff and VIP user inclusive) violating this rule will be banned. Swearing that is contextually understandable, even if it is spelled incorrectly, e.g. removing a letter, will be moderated and a warning sent to the forums user. Our decision is final in these matters.
