Pictures
Do not post pictures that could be considered indecent by anyone, this includes but is not restricted to pornography, death, violence and any pictures glorifying anything illegal.
Also please refrain from posting direct images that are too large and may slow down page loads for users on slow connections, please post links to such images in this case.

Post content
Please do not post any images that are not within the picture rules. As well as this, we do not allow abusive posts, such as; sectarianism, racism, sexism or ones that are generally trying to upset someone. We must also ask that you do not post sensitive information like email addresses, phone numbers or house addresses. If you must, send your email address in a private message, but we do not recommend giving any of your private details out to anyone you don't know.

Advertising other websites is not allowed.

Jokes
Inappropriate jokes are not allowed either. These include; jokes mocking the dead, jokes about things that may cause upset to people who have experienced the topic first hand, such as paedophilia or rape, and generally anything that falls under the same rules as the "Post content" section.

Abuse
We will only act upon abuse if it is reported to us by (one of) the target(s) of the abuse. This is so that people can joke about with their friends and have heated discussions without being babied. If you report the abuse, then we will act on it and hand out warnings, and in severe cases, hand out instant bans. Please see below to see how to report a post that offends/upsets you.

Simply forward a PM to any member of staff. Explain what you find offensive. If you report a thread and we decide you were partially to blame for the treatment you received (ie. if you provoked someone into doing it), then you may also be warned for your involvement.

An exception to the above rule is made when a thread is created for the sole purpose of abusing someone.

Please think about what you're typing and how it will affect the readers before posting it. This is a forum, not a chatroom, and you have plenty of time to preview your reply before sending it off. There's no excuse.

Staff abuse
We take a zero tolerance approach on staff abuse. Any post or thread that staff members interpret as an attack on them or the staff as a whole will be locked or deleted and the people involved will be dealt with as staff see fit.
If you wish to complain about a member of staff, you can do so by contacting Toby by PM. Do not post it on the forum.

If you just want to find out why a post/thread was deleted, try PMing one of the active moderators (which you can see by looking at the online users at the bottom of the forum).

Wares
We do not allow posts asking how to retrieve or helping users to get wares. Wares are anything that's protected by copyright laws, which is including but not limited to; software, music, movies and tv programmes.

How to make a complaint
We do not allow you to complain about staff or other site issues on the public forums, as this usually results in people ganging up on the person the complaint is about, and causes 'mob mentality'. Instead, you should forward your concerns to Toby via PM, and it will be looked into. Writing out a complaint on the public forums will only get you into trouble, and will more than likely make it much harder to get your point across as the staff may consider it a rant rather than constructive criticism.
