The Rules

To ensure users feel safe and keen to participate, please avoid:

• insulting, threatening or provocative language
• inciting hatred
  Whether on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.
• swearing, using hate language or making obscene or vulgar comments
• breaking the law
  This includes libel, condoning illegal activity, contempt of court (comments which might affect the outcome of an approaching court case) and breach of copyright (reproducing more than an insubstantial amount of someone else’s work).
• spamming
  Please don't add the same comment to more than one discussion.
• advertising
  You can mention relevant, non-commercial websites as long as they support your comment. Any references to websites deemed inappropriate will be removed.
• posting in a language other than English
  Sorry, we cannot provide translations of comments posted in any language other than English.
• invading people's privacy
  Please do not post any private contact information such as names, private addresses, phone numbers or email addresses. Nor should you provide links to social networking profiles, including your own, or links to any other form of online or offline communications unless you wish to inform another user of the telephone number of a helpline or charity. If this is the case a link can be posted to the official site which has the phone number. Inappropriate material will be removed and could lead to legal action.
• impersonating or falsely claiming to represent a person or organisation
• usernames
  Please do not abuse our registration procedure by choosing a username that breaks any of the above rules.
• sharing links
  Please do not post links to profile pages on social networking sites - you can use the private messaging function to give this information to other users.
• posting off-topic
  Any posts within a topic with no bearing on the current discussion thread will be deleted.
