Forum Rules

in

We do not aim to censor posts as long as they fall inside the rules and guidelines. We welcome debate and views expressed from every angle, and we do not take a stance for or against any wildlife or environment topic.

We reserve the right to move, modify or delete posts or threads, without explanation, and may take further action to disable the offender's account at the discretion of the moderators.

  • One Account - You are allowed only one account
  • No poaching - don't use this website to recruit members or content for other sites
  • Be polite - respect other members and their opinions
  • Don't be creepy! - You know the sort of guys we're talking about. Don't be one of those guys!
  • Keep it legal - Do not encourage or promote any illegal activity.
  • In English - All content must be in English and not abbreviated texting or slang
  • No Offensive Language - including swearing, innuendo, abbreviations and substituting, adding or removing characters to disguise the above.
  • Light-hearted - do not post heavily religious or party political statements.
  • Privacy - Do not request or give out personal information
  • Spam - don't advertise producs or services or promote external websites - also see external links
  • Post Spam - don't post simply with the purpose of increasing your post count
  • Bumping Threads - posting to deliberately take a thread to the top of the recent forum posts
  • Hijacking - taking a thread off topic
  • Colouring Text - do not try to hide content in the background

Private Messages

  • All forum posting rules also apply to private messages
  • The administrator has access to read all Private Messages.
  • You may not make public the content of any other member's private messages without their prior consent.

Signatures

  • Signatures must be no more than two lines of default-sized black text
  • The signature should not be displayed in the text area of each post, but submitted via the signature box of the member control panel.
  • Signatures can include a single reciprocal link to a non-commercial wildlife/environment website

Tips

  • If you have problems with another member, please forward your concern to a moderator or administrator.
  • Use emoticons/smilies to clarify the intended emotion of your posts
  • Public posts debating these rules, terms and conditions and/or moderators' enforcement of such, may be removed without comment. However, we encourage feedback and invite you to contact us via PM if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Posting Forum Images

Avoid posting images or links to images on external websites. Instead, upload your images to the 'forum images' section of the Wild About Britain gallery, then cut and paste the 'Forum Images Code' under the photograph into your posts to show your pictures in forum threads - see External Images. In rare and special circumstances we may allow externally linked images, but if we think the system is being abused then we'll remove all of your links and possibly close your account, so it's best to check with a moderator before posting any.
