1.
Forum rules

a.
Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the
forum descriptions before posting. Users consistently posting to the wrong
forum may be given a warning.

b.
Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or
abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

c.
Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If members
note an issue which contravenes something in this policy document they
are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the moderator
team. Only do this if a moderator team member has not replied within 1
hour. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who
consistenly "act" as moderators may be warned.

d.
Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience.
Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will
not be tolerated and will lead to a warning or a ban depending on the
nature of content and or who it is aimed at.

e.
Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users,
sites, media, etc. Users linking to or asking for information on warez,
crackz, etc. or re-printing material without permision will receive a
warning and their post will be removed.

f.
Members should respect the bandwidth of other users and sites. The use
of inline () image tags pointing to data stored on third party
systems for which the user has not received permission to link to may be removed.

g.
Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing".
That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large,
small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use
excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) and smilieys in topic titles or posts.
Users consistently abusing this will be warned.

h.
Members should use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new
topic.

i.
Users posting in the forum just to increase their post counts will be
warned.

j.
Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes offering
hosting services (charged and free), installation services, etc. Users
posting spam will be warned and their post removed.

k.
The moderating teams reserve the right to edit or remove any post at
any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar,
spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not users.

l.
If your id is pseudonyn , have the courage to sign your name at the bottom.
If you choose not to post that, then accept your threads will be viewed less seriously

m.
The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging.
Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above)
and/or the revokation of private messaging.

n.
Users abusing these rules will be warned.

o.
No swearing is permitted, attempts to circumvent the filters this includes
character substitution will be issued with a warning.

p.
Disturbing the peace, Users posting just to disturb the peace will be
warned. If the post is serious enough the staff reserve the right
to bypass section 2i.

q
If a member of a company or a society requires a topic or a subject to
be censored before it appears on this forum.
then this can be done by emailing ralphchadkirk@gmail.com
complete with a telephone number for us to contact you to confirm that you
are in an official capacity to authorise the censorship. Or by telephone on
07901760317.

r
We reserve the right to remove or restrict any or all access
to the forums in whole or part form. Including but not limited to using
Ip addresses / Usernames or Email Addresses.
Ip address ranges may also have access removed.

2.
Policing

We operates a three strike policy. Users will be warned
a maximum of three times for any and all offences in a 90 Day period.
If the need arises for a fourth warning a temporary ban will be put
in place of between 1 to 30 days.

.
Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to
an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a
temporary ban will be put in place as above.

a.
Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact
the relevant team leader, e.g. if warned by a moderator you should
contact the Admins. If they feel you were treated badly
they remove a warning. If you feel their decision is also unfair you may
contact a administrator. Their decision is final. Contacting group members
over warning matters should be done so as a very last resort ... group
members do not want to be bothered unless vital.

b.
Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban will lead to that ban being
made permanent. Circumvention includes re-registering under a non-
banned username, changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban, registering
a new email account of evade an email ban. Circumvention includes
posting as an anonymous user.

c.
An exception to the three strike rule applies when users contact
members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or
vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent
ban.

d.
Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before
implementing them. While national Preservation may consider lifting
permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurence.

Politics

1, No directly political thread to be started that have no direct relationship to Preservation of Railways. i.e. Any thread that seems to have the Premise MP X, Political party X, Publication X, EU (Pro / anti) Sch thread should not be allowed, and thus should be locked and repeat offender given a warning.

2, Threads with a political content that relate directly to Preservation or railways should be allowed, however, any personal insults (direct or implied) will be dealt with immediately and unequivocally.

3, Threads that deal with other situations, but touch on politics, be allowed to continue, but only if they remain civil and that no personal insults, either direct or indirect occur and that it does not degenerate into something that would fail the test of rule one - i.e. comments that develop into MP X, Political party X, Publication X, EU (Pro / anti) are a bunch of "insert suitable insult".

4, Moderators shall not partake in any political thread, except for the reasons listed below and for pure moderating purposes.
a, Those outlined in Item 2 above. Notably subjects that affect directly Preservation or railways in general.
b, Posting in threads to get them back on topic where they started on a non-politcal subject, but progress to falling foul of the rules on Politics - this is distinct from moderator activity, where the thread is locked / edited or Moved.

Religion

1, Quite simply that all races, Creeds, religions, Genders and sexuality be respected:

1, b, Any member being derogatory about any race, Creed, religion, Gender or sexuality will be subject to a temporary suspension (issued by admins only) pending discussion by staff. Thread to be moved to mods area and message posted about what action has been taken.

2, That subjects purposefully raising the subject of religion in a similar fashion to Politics 1, (i.e. could be regarded as trying to provoke an argument / could be seen to demean others and be contrary to Religion rule 1) are banned. Not to be allowed under any circumstances. (Thankfully, not really been too much of an issue so far).

3, Purposeful promotion of any religion, creed or belief to the detriment of any religion, creed or belief is not allowed

3, a, However, that it is allowed that people can refer to religious text, feel able to express there belief(s) etc. - on the strict understanding that it does not contravene any of the other rules.ious threats are involved.

Removed. I however, will make it easy for people wanting to make their own forums and say, that all the rules etc, is free for you to use. That's how to encourage people.

Got to side with admin on this case , i bet his spent hours writting and ammedning them all and having copyright put on them a simmple " can i use them with these edits" might have been nice .

ralphchadkirk · 22 feb 2009

True...true...I just needed something quickly while I wrote my own, (which are now on)

Admin - permission need not be asked on mine :smt002 , also if you paid for copyright then you are doing it the wrong way. You can get the same copyright very easily for free.

I always thought that free copyright was very differant to paid copyright . in the sence that free copyright only covered you for certain things but paid copyright was to protect from anything.

ralphchadkirk · 22 feb 2009

Nope theres no-copyright or copyright. Paid or free (or extremely cheap) does not make any difference.

Anything you write is effectivley copyrighted when you put it on paper. You can take steps however to prove that you wrote it when you did, like depositing a copy in a bank/solicitor or even sending it to yourself by Special Delivery and leaving it unopened which gives a clear date/time stamp.

Source: UK Copyright Law

Copyright protection is automatic as soon as there is a record in any form of what has been created (there is no official registration required). However, steps can be taken by the creator of a work to provide evidence that he or she had the work at a particular time. For example, a copy could be deposited with a bank or solicitor. Alternatively, a creator could send themselves a copy by special delivery post (which gives a clear date stamp on the envelope), leaving the envelope unopened on its return. A number of private companies operate unofficial registers, but it would be sensible to check carefully what you will be paying for before choosing this option.
It is important to note, that this does not prove that a work is original or created by you. But it may be useful to be able to show that the work was in your possession at a particular date, for example where someone else claims that you have copied something of theirs that was only created at a later date
