Forum Rules

[fletch]

First of all welcome to our little community. All are welcome, we are a diverse group who share a common and cliched bond, which is the sound of leather on willow.

This forum came about as a result of a mass exodus from a forum destroyed by an invasion of morons. We formed to keep our small community together. We are a close forum but we are always receptive to new members. Indeed they are our lifeblood.

First and foremost though, we are a community and as such we have friends, enemies, and people we don't give a toss about. We have the same arguments, agreements and downright shitfights about anything and everything that anyone else does. The bottom line is that everyone will be treated with equal contempt by everyone whether they have 1 post or 20,000, whether they be a moderator or a newbie.

What that doesn't mean is that we all have a licence to be as awful to each other as possible.

Our few rules are thus:

1. No spamming the forum.

2. No posting of pornographic images or links to such sites.

3. No promotion of drugs other than medicinal.

4. No unnecessary personal abuse of individuals or their family members.

5. No posts which directly or indirectly could be seen as inciting religious or racial hatred or inciting hatred or threatening and encouraging violence towards a particular community.

6. No posting of inappropriate videos.

7. Multiple user logins not allowed.

8. Abusing or harassing members through the private message feature strictly prohibited.

9. Divulging personal information of members without consent prohibited.

10. The promotion or advertising of illegal copyrighted file sharing media and software is not allowed.


****A few important addenda*****

i) Anybody who is seen as trying to jeopardize, hijack or bring the forum into disrepute in any way are liable to be subject to warnings and or suspensions / bans.

ii) Members should also be aware that causing upset to other members without cause is not to be tolerated and neither is response in kind to such abuse. Robust and even heated discussions are tolerated and even encouraged but there is a line which should be obvious to the majority.

iii) And finally, moderators are sole arbiters as to what constitutes a violation of the code of conduct.

Any serious complaints should be directed to one or more of admin staff and will be treated seriously. Petty complaints will also be treated as abuse of forum rules, try to sort out your differences "on the field of play" as it were.

Anyone found in contravention of the above rules will initially be warned followed by more severe action being taken for repeat offence which may include a ban. All decisions made by the mod/admin team will undergo internal discussion. The decisions made by the team are final, and no correspondence will be entered into publicly on the board. If you strongly disagree or feel aggrieved by a decision, please pm one of the admin/mod team, and request a review by stating your reasons. It will be discussed again by the team in private, and you will be advised of the decision via pm. If the team decides to overturn a ruling, a public posting to that effect will be made.

To contact admin PM one of the admin staff.

The admins are : Grandmaster UZ, fletch, syed, Stuart and The Magnificent Mr.X.

Cheers.

CFF Staff
