House Rules

[JohnDonkin]

We have a few house rules for new forum users to be aware of. These are for everyone's benefit to help keep things civil and under control.
Please ensure you have read and understood these before posting. Keep to them and you'll fit right in.

Also, please note that this forum uses different software to the BEO1 forum so you will need to re-register to post here. Eventually this will replace the old forum out right, which will be archived as read only for reference purposes.

RULES
1) Mutual Respect: NO ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR
– We are all equals here. Each and every member on this forum has a right to be treated with dignity and respect, any actions which contravene this will result in severe consequences.
– Personal attacks of any kind will be treated seriously. Bullying can take many forms and we will not allow it on our forum. Ask yourself before posting "If I read something like this about myself would I be upset?" If the answer is yes then don't post.

If you are kind to them they are more than willing to help.Additional moderators may be appointed by us when required and by invitation only.

That's it (for now). We may change the rules as time goes on, if we've forgotten anything important. Most importantly have fun.
