Forum Rules: |
- Only one account is allowed per member. If a member wishes to change their user name, they must contact a site team member with administrative permissions
- Treat others how you would like to be treated yourself; foul language, obscene images, racism, homophobia, sexism, personal attacks etc are not tolerated
- The PM (Private Message) privilege must not be abused
- Please do not over-do text speak (e.g., C U L8R M8). We prefer grammar, spelling, punctuation and syntax to be at a decent level
- Please avoid uncertain posts such as "I think its a xxxx but not sure" or "I think I saw one near xxx." If you aren't sure or can't back up your statement with some further reasoning, then don't make it
- Please avoid pointless posts which merely state "I agree..." or "I've sent you a PM..." There is nothing to stop such phrases being used in substantial posts, but on their own it simply creates unnecessary posting.
- Spam posting/advertising is not tolerated here
- Images (including avatars and signature banners) must be to the specific size as specified by the POTM/gallery co-ordinator
- The site team reserve the right to ban or remove any member, should an extreme case happen
