We support the principles of free speech. However, we also recognise the importance of people respecting the rights of others and whilst we don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, we will enforce the rules outlined here.
By using this forum, you agree to be bound by these rules and to be contacted by site administration when it becomes necessary to do so regarding your account activity.
We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without notice or explanation. Temporary suspension of your account will result from not adhering to these rules.
Whilst we do not monitor private messages, we will investigate all allegations of private message abuse.
We do not remove posts or accounts on requests from third parties.
We cannot verify the accuracy of information that may be uploaded to the forum . Opinions, advice and all other information expressed by members in discussions are those of the author.

In addition to the rules posted here, you are required to read any individual forum rules which may be posted at the top of specific forums as Important threads or Announcements.

Please contact the site administrator or moderators via email at

General Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all forums.
- "Be Polite" We take this rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness or comments which could cause offence to any named individual or group of individuals. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive will be given an infraction.
- Discriminatory posts based on disability, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation is strictly prohibited and will result in the immediate suspension of members account for an indefinite period subject to appeal for reinstatement not earlier than six months from the posting.
- Any abuse towards our staff and/or management in any form may result in a infraction.
- If you SPAM our members in any manner, you will be given an infraction. Do not contact anyone to promote your product or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them from an advertising forum post. If you glean information from anywhere other than the advertising forums and use that information to contact someone and present an offer, it's SPAM and it will affect your forum account standing.
- Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone.
- Cross-Posting is not allowed. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the member with the intention of gaining exposure.
- You may not post on behalf of any banned member [or non-member]. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.
- You may not link, in any manner, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually explicit material, gross violence, or are determined by moderators to be detrimental to the community.
- You may not bump threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.
- You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.
- Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account banned.
- Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We encourage feedback however and invite you to contact the site admin if you have any questions or concerns.
- ‘All caps’ is considered to be shouting. Please don't use them.
