Board Rules Options

[gudinde]

After recent discussions we have made a revised summary of the message board rules.
We would appreciate it if you would bear these in mind.
We know this won't be a problem. We all value the positive atmosphere here.

Thanks,
The Moderating Team


Board Guidelines

• Please treat the 'targets' of the discussions with respect, and treat each other with courtesy.
  
  
• Discussion and debate are encouraged. Argument is discouraged. Personal attacks are not acceptable.
  We aim for a positive atmosphere, with constructive discussion based on facts, and rely on members' cooperation.
  see note
  
  
• Please consider who might read your comments and what may be offensive to them. This includes members of Royal families, their staff, organisers of events, flowerchildren, the people of Denmark.
  Insensitive and nasty comments, or negative remarks designed to provoke reaction will be deleted.
  This point is not intended to promote sycophancy, but to address the behaviour of a few vicious personalities who frequent online royalty forums.
  
  
• Please don't post pictures or articles violating the privacy of the 'targets' of the discussion.
  see notes
  
  
• We discourage members from asserting personal preferences about religion, politics, use of animal products, sexual mores and similar subjects at this board. We acknowledge that these issues are important to people, but these topics can be extremely divisive, and there are other more appropriate fora to express those views.
  see note
  
  
• Please state sources of any material posted and seek permission where possible. If owners of original material are unhappy about it's use, please direct our attention to the issue and we will promptly remove the articles or pictures in each case. Any infringements of copyright are solely the responsibility of the poster, not the management of this board.
  
  
• Copying pictures from other boards (without permission), and especially using photoaccounts of members from other boards (hotlinking) is not allowed. We ask the same regarding photoaccounts of members of this board. Do not hotlink to our members' pictures when posting elsewhere.
  
  
• The moderators reserve the right to edit, move or delete posts within threads as they deem to fit. We try to contact the posters about this, but it will not always be possible to contact every single person.
  
  
• No spammers or scammers
  
  
• Violating these rules could result in suspension or ultimately banning.
