FORUM RULES

This section is to highlight and explain the rules which Tiscali would like members to follow when posting to the Tiscali Forums.

Tiscali's BBS server is not a public one. This means that you need to be a Tiscali member to post to our forums and thus must abide by Tiscali's Terms & Conditions. Although a few forums are mostly frequented by adults and will thus sometimes stray into more adult themes and language, we would remind everyone that children are free to read all postings on this service and that this should be born in mind when posting.

Please be aware that these forums are not actively moderated by Tiscali staff. This means that no member of Tiscali staff either screens the material prior to it appearing on the service, nor reads all postings after they appear on the service. We therefore rely mainly on our moderators and membership to alert us of postings which they feel are inappropriate. Details on how to do this can be found at the bottom of this posting.

FORUM POSTING RULES

You may not post any material that: Is perceived by Tiscali and its moderators, or Tiscali members, to be an insult or attack on another forum poster. We encourage debate and the exchange of ideas; however disagreements must not turn into personal attacks on other members, including Tiscali staff and moderators.

In certain categories, you may encounter strong views and postings with which you do not agree with or may find objectionable. This is a private forum owned by Tiscali and although it is open to all, it must be stressed the content found within this forum does not reflect the view of Tiscali or their moderators, and although we wish to foster lively discussion without restricting users freedom to express their opinions, any posting deemed to be extreme may be removed without warning.

This includes:

Threats, harassment or name-calling.

Profanity, vulgarity, obscenity or anything that is deemed unsuitable for a family audience.

Disparages race, gender, sexual orientation, religion or nation.

Infringes on anyone's rights of privacy.

Please refrain from:

Making identical postings in more than two forums (multi-posting).

If the complaint is of serious abuse (eg 'spam' crossposted throughout multiple forums, continued and obvious abuse of other members etc), we may terminate your account without prior notice under Section 8 of our Terms & Conditions. If our records show a history of abuse from you, we may terminate your account without prior notice. If, after reading the Forum Posting Rules, you feel that your suspension or ban is unfair or unjust, contact the forum administrator. Email: forumcommunity@tiscali.co.uk

Any accounts, previously or newly created to access the forums, while the matter is being investigated, will be suspended until a decision on your appeal has been reached.

Should you feel, that after speaking to the forum administrator, the appeal is still unresolved to your satisfaction, it may be passed to a Tiscali representative who will contact you to discuss the matter further. The decision of this representative will be final.
