A forum is a place where people can communicate and discuss various topics. Please follow these guidelines to ensure productive discussions in the forums. These rules and guidelines are enforced by administrators and moderators, who may, at their sole discretion, delete posts that do not comply with them without warning. Failure to follow these rules or our Code of Conduct may also result in expulsion from the forum.
We rely on all forum members to make these discussion forums a safe place to share and view information. In order to do this, we ask that all members adhere to the following rules when contributing to the discussion forums:
Keep it friendly.
Be polite and respectful. Appreciate that others may have a different opinion than yours.
Stay on topic. When creating a new discussion thread, please provide a clear topic title and place your post in the appropriate category. When contributing to an existing discussion, try to stay 'on topic'. If something new comes up in the thread that you want to discuss, please open a new thread.
Share your knowledge. Do not hold back on sharing your knowledge - it's likely that someone will find it useful or interesting. When giving information, cite your sources.
Refrain from degrading, discriminatory or harassing behaviour and speech.
We reserve the right to remove posts and threads to ensure that material posted in discussion forums is not potentially harmful. For this reason, we may edit or choose not to publish any post that:
contains disrespectful or derogatory remarks about any person,
contains advice or content that we believe is harmful, unhelpful or disruptive to others,
contains profanity or offensive language, is meaningless and/or irrelevant,
romotes personal beliefs in a way that is disrespectful to the choices of others,
is racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit or suggestive, offensive or otherwise discriminatory or objectionable.
Don't forget to treat people with kindness. :)
