Rules and Guidelines

It's fun to explore the boards, but there are rules surrounding what you post.

BOARD BEHAVIOUR

This forum practices the right to free speech and expression as long as it does not perpetuate hate crime or infringe upon another persons rights to such.

Discrimination

Posts or forum topics containing any racism, sexism or hate crimes are not tolerated and will be removed by a moderator or Admin. Offenders will come under the three strike policy.

Threats

Verbal threats will not be tolerated if :

They are not joking, or arguing with a person of the same level of intellect and/or experience as yourself

They are repeated and offensive in nature (this is cyber-bullying)
Generally, verbal threats will be taken as such and will not be acted upon unless it is seriously offending or upsetting those involved or the people around them.

However, threats on somebodies physical and mental well-being including but not restricted to suicide and death threats will be taken very, very seriously. Everyone has the right to feel safe and not feel the need to bear witness to public suicide/death threats.

Please note that this forum is not a suicide line and if you are feeling suicidal you will need to talk to an adult you trust in real life or call your national suicide hotline.

Three-Strike Policy

This forum runs under a three-strike policy.

If you are abusing the forum or behaving in a way that is inappropriate, you will be warned by a moderator who will provide reason for your warning.

If you are continuing to harass, you will be muted, with reason provided from your temporary muting.

If you offend again, you will be banned, with reason for your banning.

If you are on your first/second warning and you feel it was completely unfair, please contact an administrator with evidence to prove why it was unfair, and the moderator who issued the warning. It will be discussed from there.

If you see something you don't like, or are the victim of any discrimination, hate, or feel unsafe, there is hope! Our moderators and our admin are here to look after you and make sure that you have a fantastic experience here. We will sort it out as soon as we can for you!
