Rules for posting
This is a moderated board, which means we will check your posts before they go up. Violation of the rules is likely to mean that your posts will not be shown.
Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant. Please:
- No defamatory comments. A defamatory comment is one that is capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation.
- Do not incite people to commit any crime, including incitement of racial hatred.
- Do not post content which you've copied from someone else and don't own the copyright.
- Do not post messages that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, homophobic or racially offensive.
- No spamming or flooding. Don't repost the same message, or very similar messages, more than once.
- No personal information. It is not acceptable to publicise your or anyone else's contact details including address, place of employment, name of educational establishment, telephone or mobile number, email address, etc. This is for your own safety and that of everyone else involved in this project.
- Keep your posts relevant. All the questions will be about a relevant issue,
- No impersonating. Impersonating someone (including other members) is unacceptable. Please post under the same name all the time. It is unfair to the other users who only have one ‘identity’ and helps them have an honest conversation with you.
- No inappropriate usernames (vulgar, offensive, etc).
- Please don't abuse the complaints system. It exists to enable visitors to alert the Have Your Say moderators about content which breaks the above rules.
