Terms & Conditions

You are reminded that as well as abiding by the rules stated here, you must also abide by our Terms and Conditions. Failure to abide by our forum rules is a breach of our Terms and Conditions and may result in your account being terminated.

We do not intend to censor messages based on opinions expressed within conversations, but we will enforce the rules stated here and in our Terms and Conditions.

Staff

Please treat administrators and moderators with respect. They are here to make your experience a safe and pleasant one. Being rude or abusive towards any staff member may result in your account being terminated.

Deletion of Topics

All deletions are final. Once a topic/post has been deleted, it cannot be brought back. Do not post the same thing again; please Contact Us to find out why your topic/post was removed.

Spamming

Spamming our forums may result in your account being terminated. We consider spam to be one of the following:

- Repeated posting of topics in a short period of time.

- Repeated posting of topics in the wrong forum.

- Posting repeatedly in the same topic within a short period of time.

- Posting the same topic/post repeatedly after a moderator has deleted it.

- Making posts that have no relevance to the original topic.

Abusive Posts

Any posts made to deliberately encourage abuse against another member will be removed. This may also result in your account being terminated; this is decided on an individual basis.

Inappropriate Language/Behaviour

Posting of pornographic images/videos, excessive swearing and abusive behaviour towards other users is not permitted.

Posts relating to racism, homophobia, sexism and discrimination against other users due to race, religion, sex, gender, marital status, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or national origin is not permitted.

Threatening behaviour towards other users will not be tolerated.

Advertising

Any posts made with the sole intention of advertising something will be deleted. This may also result in your account being terminated. Here are a few examples of what we consider to be advertising:

- Invitations to opening nights, etc.

- Promoting websites, e.g. your website, your business, forums, etc.

- Promotions for new bands, clubs, etc.

Repeat Topics

Before posting a new topic, please check if another topic has been posted recently that is relating to the same subject. Duplicate topics maybe locked or removed.

Posting in the Wrong Forum

Try to post your topic in the right forum. If you repeatedly post in the wrong forum, this will be considered spamming.

Off Topic and One to One Posting

If you decide to post in a topic and deliberately go off topic either by talking about something entirely unrelated to the subject or spamming, your posts may be deleted or the whole topic may be deleted.

If you decide to post in a topic and start talking to a single user already in the topic about something unrelated, your posts or whole topic may be removed. If you repeatedly do this, your account may be terminated.
