I will shortly be updating the terms and conditions of the board and I will also be responsible for all moderation.
Moderation will only be by private message and will mostly be reminders of the basic rules and etiquette described above.
For example a reminder will be sent if:
A thread doesn't have a descriptive title.
A thread is misplaced in an inappropriate category.
A thread wanders off topic
A topic breaches the terms and conditions posted below
etc
In case it is not clear, I will always give an explanation as to why a particular post has been moderated.
Any requests for clarification must be addressed to me by private message or email
If a user finds a post offensive or in breach of the T's and C's, they are encouraged to report it using the 'Warning triangle' (this is found above the text in each post, it will alert me to the post and I can deal with it)
