The forum is governed by strict rules to ensure you can browse and use the forums comfortably and easily.

There is no excuse for breaking the rules, it doesn't matter if you were angry at the time and you weren't thinking straight. Nor does 'kidding around' qualify as an excuse to break any of the rules. If you break multiple rules, the punishments will stack up accordingly and are completely at the discretion of forum administrators and moderators. If you feel you have been treated unfairly or unjustly then you may raise your concerns privately and not publicly.

The consequences of breaking the rules are as follows:

1. Warning – you are able to use the site, post and read. Generally for a first offence.
2. Muting – you are able to view but not post for a certain period determined by the site staff. Mainly for severe first-time offences.
3. Temporary Banning – you are unable to view or post for a period determined by site staff. For a member with repeat offences.
4. Banning – you are permanently banned from use of the forum. For a member with repeat severe offences.

Site staff reserve the right to judge any indiscretion and act accordingly. We also reserve the right to close and / or delete threads and posts at our discretion.
