The Forum Rules are here to create an understanding of what is accepted, and not accepted on this forum. It is my experience that forums that don't have these clearly stated tend to have a lot of mayhem, anarchy and trolling.
This is to be considered a living document, in that it will be changed and updated as time goes on, and situations occur that allow for better understanding and refinement. Older versions will be posted on this thread, to archive them.

(Correct as of Saturday, 6th December, 2014)
This forum is designed to serve as a community for people who are interested in certain topics that are specialised here, and those that are not. Members of this forum are expected to treat each other fairly and respectfully. There should be no discrimination towards sex, sexual preferences, race, age, religion, and any other category (within reason) not mentioned in the listing.
This forum does not allow the public posting of pornographic photographs, or photographs that are clearly being used to incite hate or as bait for a flame war or for trolling purposes. Members who persist in this will end up being banned.
Members who are breaking the rules and causing infractions, but are not deemed too sever as to be banned, will be made Inactive for a set period determined at time of suspension. This is to allow time for the member to cool off, and reflect on what has happened. If a member is rendered Inactive more than twice, then they are Banned.
Members have the right to leave the forum, and can apply to be rendered Voluntarily Inactive. Only members who have asked will be placed in this category. They can ask to return at any time.
Trolling, baiting, harassment of members is not tolerated.
Posting, or attempted posting, of Member's IP addresses will lead to Instant Banning. There will be no right of appeal in such circumstances.
