Forum Rules!

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

Like many I have fallen foul of these forum rules. I now know not to be over zealous in replying to some posts.

I have learnt the hard way of posting links on here.....but since then I have tried never to do the latter.....so I will copy and paste the information so as not to fall foul of that rule!

Apparently there is a rule about that too.

The only thing is I can't find these rules anywhere. So I'm asking admin or the mods if the could post the rules or a link to the rules on this thead for future reference.

Thank you.

Please no ranting or naming any Mods as this is a genuine question without any malice.

I agree totally but it would help if we could see the rules or how do we keep to them?

Yeah, they're pretty impossible to find on the mobile site, which seems silly as I would've thought most people use fab from their phones, but if you go to the desktop site, they're easy to see. Not much help from me, I'm afraid!

Sure a mod will be along soon to post a link to the forum rules that you can copy and paste in your browser to read them

Would it not be better if they posted them on a thread like this which has a heading "Forum Rules"? I think so for a future search on these

Oddly enough the mobile ones are in exactly the same place as on the desktop site, but finding a link to them on the mobile site seems more difficult!

They need to be made a sticky thread that can't be contributed to, and stays sat at the top of each forum.

Rules that are hard to find, deserve to be ignored

I've always said there should be a "sticky note" at the top of the forum rooms to remind fabbers of the rules. They appear in the chat rooms so why not here. It's easy to fall fowl of the rules especially when your a newbie.

I started this thread a few weeks back in the site feedback section. Didn't get any response from admin so I assume they don't want us mobile users to find them easily

Forum Rules

In summary: If you treat other people with respect, you can't go far wrong. Don't forget that the forums are meant to be fun, if you find yourself fuming and writing long angry messages you're probably best taking a break from it.

How we moderate

We don't want the forum to be over-moderated, so we'll only remove threads where absolutely necessary if we believe it to be in the best interests of the site or where we're legally obliged to. When threads are closed the mods will add a note explaining why.

Threads we remove

Threads containing racism, threats, nasty stuff like that will be removed and the posters banned or given timeouts. We also don't want discussions of serious illegal subjects like r*pe, child abuse, illegal drugs because inevitably someone will post about their own crimes / experiences of crimes and we can get hauled up in court to provide evidence. We do this for fun and we don't want the hassle, sorry.

Name and shame

Please don't name and shame other users. There's no way for us to police this so if you have a problem with another user, please REPORT them privately to Admin (via the report link on the profile), and block them. Admin will review, resolve.

Don't be nasty

Abuse against other site users, mods or admin isn't tolerated.

Don't be personal

Personal attacks against other site users aren't allowed, even if you don't name them. If you've got a problem with someone on the site, block them. If you've got a problem with what someone writes on the forum just skip over their messages or report to admin if you think they need to take action.

Disputing admin or moderator decisions

The mods and site admin are all volunteers who try and keep the site safe. If you think they've made a specific mistake (and we accept that mistakes or mis-judgements do happen), the forum isn't the place to discuss it. Please contact Admin directly and we'll review and make right. If you have general feedback on site moderation or administration, you can post it to the site feedback forum but please ensure it's constructive criticism not personal critisim.

18+ only

Any discussion of sex relating to under 18s isn't allowed and will be removed.

Dirty laundry

The forums aren't for airing your dirty laundry in public. If you've got a problem with another site user, please block them and/or report to admin via the report link on their profile.

Links to other sites

We have restrictions on where you can link to because otherwise people end up posting spam or links to places that host malware/spyware and it's bad for our users.

You can link to:

Any well recognised news site (bbc, times, telegraph, sun, notw, cnn and all the rest)

Youtube

Lovehoney

Wikipedia

No nit-picking please

Unless someone specifically asks for their profile to be critiqued or if it's relevant to the thread e.g. someone is wondering why they're not having success, please don't critique their profile or be mean about it. We want the forum to be open and friendly to newbies and everyone starts somewhere.

No phone numbers, addresses, personal details

Please don't post any phone numbers, addresses or personal details of someone on or off the site. In the past people have posted other people's phone numbers as a joke/harassment so it's strictly off limits now.

Private mail should stay private

Please don't post private mail to the forums no matter how idiotic/funny it may be. It is strictly against site rules.

Commercial services

Most commercial postings are NOT ok. Some that are specifically related to swinging such as swingers club nights might be, so long as it's not annoying site users. Discretion is applied.

Deliberate or malicious disruption of the forum

If you deliberately or maliciously try to interrupt everyone else's enjoyment of the forums, for example by trying to fill up the forum with your own content (just one example), it's not fair and we'll take action.

Locations

Please don't post exact locations of dogging sites or socials in the forum. You can ask people to mail you privately for more information.

Forum timeouts

If you've broken forum rules or we consider it in the interests of the community, we may issue you a timeout on participation. You'll get a message explaining what you did wrong and how long the timeout lasts. It expires automatically. Please don't use any other accounts to try and get around timeouts because they will banned.

Spot any problems? If you see rule breaking on the forums or if you've posted a thread that you'd like to be removed for any reason, please use the report link underneath the forum post."

I agree with there that having them as a sticky on a locked thread would make sense in view of the fact they aren't easily linked to on the mobile site
