+++ Forum Etiquette +++ - Grahamm - 13-06-21
-- Important Info for all users --
Etiquette:
We want to make these Forums a friendly, welcoming and open place for people to discuss bikes, biking and bike related issues.- Discussions of political topics are allowed, however, please keep them to separate threads as much as possible. If a bike related topic starts getting political, we may curtail the discussion or split it off into a thread of its own to keep the main topic from being swamped.
- We appreciate that feelings can run high on some issues, however before you respond to a comment which you don't like or don't agree with, we would be grateful if you would pause for a moment, take a step back and consider whether "popping off" at someone else is going to add anything positive to the discussion.
- There is no problem with you disagreeing with someone, but while "I don't think you're correct because..." is acceptable "you're an idiot" is not.
- Personal attacks, insults, bullying or discriminatory language etc will not be tolerated and posts may be edited or removed at the Moderators' discretion.
Moderation:
The moderating team is small, and like most you they have a life outside of the forum.- Repeated violations of these rules or other disruptive behaviour may result in a member's posting privileges being temporarily restricted.
- Continued violations or other unacceptable behaviour may result in a member being permanantly banned.
- Please note that if you have an issue with a poster or a post, use the "Report to Moderator" link at the bottom right hand corner of each post, do not post comments in the thread or call out other people's actions.
- Moderator decisions are final and are not open to discussion.
New Users:
We get a lot of users joining our little forum from all over the world, and while we do our best to try and check the IP's and email's aren't blacklisted. - We would ask all users to keep an eye out for any bots, nonsense posts or flat out SPAM.
- If you see something that doesn’t look right, click on the "Report to Moderator" link at the bottom right hand corner of each post.
