Discussion Forum Rules

The Leicestershire Villages forums are available as a place to discuss all aspects of life in your own village and in the county of Leicestershire. To maintain the usefulness of these forums we expect all forum participants to follow these simple rules:

1. Show respect to others. You are expected to maintain a helpful, respectful tone when posting. Opinions are welcome, but they may not escalate into flaming and rudeness against other forum members or any other party.
2. Refrain from posting unacceptable posts The following types of posts are not accepted in the Leicestershire Villages Forums:
   • Spam – Leicestershire Villages maintains an aggressive no-spam policy. Spam in the forums will be deleted without warning. Spam in the Leicestershire Villages forums context means blatant, offensive, repeated commercial advertising.
   • Personal offences based on age, sex, race, location, cultural background or any other criteria. Leicestershire Villages is available to a global audience. Cultures, opinions and traditions differ, and the forums are a place for their cooperation, not clashes.
   • Political flames – The Leicestershire Villages forum participants have different backgrounds and political views. Flaming each other based on these helps no one and will be intervened by the forum administrator.

3. Do not post anything that is considered to be potentially criminal. Posts made under circumstances indicating a considered likelihood or inciting a violent or felonious act, or a subjective intention or knowledge that its content will be used for, or in furtherance of, any criminal purpose are also prohibited. Such posts will be moved offline and referred to proper legal channels.

Please help in maintaining these forums. If you notice novice users behaving improperly, give them guidance. If you see specific cases of abuse, rudeness or other violations of this policy, feel free to bring it to the attention of the admin team through the REPORT button.
