Some new guidelines. Please read. 22/12/17

Post by Basualdo »

After the past few weeks of TOTY mayhem , we in the Mod Shack thought it might be for the best if we made a lot clearer some basic ground rules for posting. As you know this place has always tried to be as free and easy as possible. This is something that in today's litigious climate is getting much more difficult to do but with a little effort from all of us, admin as much as members, we can try to keep the place in the style to which we are accustomed.

So from now on we would like to make it clear that:

1) Any divulging of another member's personal private information, including real names, unless previously willingly divulged in open forum, will result an an immediate automatic permanent or indeterminate ban. Final length of indeterminate ban to be posted in appropriate thread when decided.

2) Any deprecating remarks about a member of another poster's family will result in a warning &/or ban.

3) Any mockery of another members illness will result in action depending on the context and remark.

4) Name calling will only be openly permitted in Pandemonium. When it occurs elsewhere in the forum we will overlook the first time, but if continuing it will result in appropriate action from the mods . Again context will be taken into account.

5) Any threats to other members of the forum will result in warning &/or ban. Threats of violence will result in an immediate indeterminate or permanent ban.

6) Any piss taking you take must be equally acceptable from all members.
You cant be fine with Member A calling you a cunt or a moron because you regard Member A as a friend but object when Member Z says the same to you because you don't get along with Member Z.

7) These rules apply only to members of this forum and their families.
Celebrities, sportsmen, organisations and institutions, TS employees, politicians or generally anyone else are all fair game within the obvious legal constraints.

None of the above mentioned will be applied retrospectively. They will only apply after this post.

We don't think that these are particularly onerous guidelines and hope that both admin and membership can make sure that we can remain a site that is relatively free of the stultifying repression of most other sites.

These rules will come into effect at time of posting with a 5 day grace period of leniancy for all but the most serious offences.
