Forum Rules


Recommended Posts

All members are expected to follow the rules below whilst using the forum. In addition, you are expected to read and follow the posting guidelines.

* Only one account is allowed per person. Usernames must not be URLs, email addresses or the name of a site. If you have a problem with your account, or wish to change your username, please contact a member of staff.

* You are expected to show respect and consideration for your fellow members. Discussion is welcomed, but personal comments and insults will be not be tolerated.

* Please do not 'spam' the forum with links to other sites:

New members are not allowed to post any links until they have 10 posts.

See below for signature rules.

Do not post about other sites unless it's relevant to the thread. If you wish to tell us about a site, be it your own, or something you've come across, please contact us first, with details of the site, and any involvement you have. If it appears that you have posted just to promote your own site, that post will be removed.

Also, please do not post about a book and provide a link back to your own review site / goodreads etc, as it is easier if discussions remain on the forum. Regular members may include a link to their blog in their signature, but not in posts.

Please do not join just to ask for help with your homework / dissertation / survey etc. This may be allowed for regular, active members, but please check with the moderating team first.

Staff reserve the right to remove any links that they feel inappropriate or promotional.


* Please be considerate of others with your choice of avatar/profile picture. Those with offensive or questionable content will be removed.

* Your signature will show after every post you make. With this last fact in mind, please be considerate with your choice, and keep to a minimum. We allow 4 lines, and graphics are not allowed, and we ask you not to increase the text size.

The forum staff are here to ensure the smooth running of the site, and they may edit, move, merge or delete posts as they feel necessary. Constant disagreement or arguing with a member of the team will not be tolerated, and may result in a ban.

Signature Rules

 

We appreciate that members have different uses for their signatures, and we've recently changed our guidelines concerning them, to try to make things a little clearer.

 

~ In general, signatures shouldn't be more than 4 lines. You may change the text colour, but please do not bold or increase the text size. Graphics are not allowed, including smilies.

 

~ With regards to links in your signature, the general rule is one link only. The exception is that you can also add 1 or 2 links to places within the forum, such as your reading thread/log. Links should generally be to personal sites only - commercial sites are not allowed (including affiliate links), but charities/good causes are.

 

~ Authors - after 30 posts, you may include a link to your author site or blog. Please do not link to a commercial site such as amazon or smashwords.

 

If you are unsure, we recommend contacting us first. The mod team may alter or remove a signature they do not feel appropriate.
