Forum Rules

By maintaining a user account and by posting to these forums, you hereby agree to abide by these rules.

To that end, members are asked to be vigilant and to report any breaches of these forums rules to a member of our moderation team.


Stay safe online.

The safety of our members is our number one priority. Protect your privacy and stay safe online by following these simple guidelines:


1. Don't give out detailed information about yourself, such as your age, your telephone or mobile number or your home address - even if people ask for it.
2. If someone asks where you're from, it's best only to say a region or a town - don't give anyone your home address.
3. The only name you should give out on the forums is your registered username or your first name.
4. Never send a picture of yourself, your family or your friends to anyone you don't already know and trust.
5. Don't post your email address on the forums. The last thing you want is people hassling you with email messages or adding your address to their spamming lists!
6. Be careful who you trust online and don't believe everything people tell you. If all you can see is the words they are typing, you can't be 100% sure that they're who they say they are.
7. Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous.
