Guidelines for posts

Posted by Site Admin at May 08. 2007
While the editorial team reserve the right to edit or remove any posts, here are some guidelines for fair play.

Please note too the terms for use of this site.

  • Sign Posts - Use your real name or pseudonym, but certainly not someone else's name. If you are logged in this is automatic
  • Limits on Posting - There are no limits defined, but keep it reasonable. It is better to post a longer, reasoned item than lots of one-liners. Remember, other people need to wade through the slough to get to the good stuff! Let's try and keep it to good stuff.
  • Maintain a Sense of Humour. You know what I mean. Some posts are in jest, or designed to provoke a response to get a discussion going.
  • Keep Topics within Discussion Purpose - Local issues on a local forum for example. Serious posts on a serious topic. See also the 2nd point above.
  • Be Civil - This is a public forum with real people. Respect among residents with differing views is the purpose of forums.
  • No Attacks or Threats - This keeps the forums safe. If content is illegal it will be forwarded to the proper legal authorities.
  • Avoid False Rumours - Do unto others etc. You alone are responsible for what you post.
  • Avoid naming others - You may refer to another post, but do not name people in these forums.
  • Items Not Allowed in Forums - See acceptable use policy. Please don't upload anything bigger than 250kB. No swearing, vulgarity. Remember, these forums are open to all including kids.
  • Appeal - If you think you are being harmed in some way by a post, contact the Site Admin to remove it. The policy will be to err on the side of caution to protect our residents.
