Post subject:  FORUM RULES

General

To help you gain the most from the IOTA forum, please familiarise yourself with the rules and guidelines below for participating in the message forums and other facilties.

Although the Administrators and Moderators of this forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, we cannot be responsible for message content. All messages express the views of the author. The owners or the representatives of IOTA may remove, edit, move, or close topics they feel do not follow the rules.

Inappropriate content will be removed without notice. Do not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, racist, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

Please use good judgement when choosing user names, avatars, or images to post.

By becoming a member you agree to adhere to these guidelines. These guidelines are subject to change and a current version is always available here.

Members that violate these rules may have their account suspended or removed.

Registering

Register using only one user name, and do not flood the board with posts that are off-topic. Creating multiple user accounts or flooding the board will be considered a denial-of-service attack on the forums and will result in your account being suspended from the forum and reported to your ISP.

What you can post

You can post anything relevant to the sport of archery, beer, cake and anything socially acceptable that makes the board a fun and friendly place. Remember to place your message in the correct forum area; that way it is more likely to attract the attention of someone knowledgeable in the subject.

What you can't post

No defamatory statements
Defamatory statements are, for example, statements that contain certain kinds of untrue factual information about a person or a company that is derogatory. As a general rule, avoid repeating vague and unsubstantiated rumors about someone or some company. Stick to your experiences and your opinions, based on what you know not what you have heard on the grapevine.

Personal Attacks
No flames, personal attacks or contentious off-topic comments: The idea is to make this a pleasant environment to discuss archery and related stuff.

Language
Watch your language. Foul, offensive, or crude language is not welcome. Also, although it is not required, most posts are in English. Board members who are native English speakers should remember that, although this is a UK board, there may be members for whom English is a second language. Allow for the possibility of misunderstandings, and be patient if someone asks for an explanation of what seems to be obvious.

Discussion of illegal activities such as software piracy and other intellectual property violations, or advice on fraudulent activities are not allowed and will be removed. Bow hunting is an illegal activity in the UK and it's discussion will be at the discretion of administrators/moderators. Photographs of dead/wounded animals will be removed.

Copyrighted or trademarked material

You can't post copyrighted material or a reproduction of registered trade/service marks without permission from the author or owner. For example, this means that, without prior permission, you may not post a verbatim copy of an equipment review from an archery magazine or e-zine, or an image of a manufacturer's trademarked logo.

Thread Naming

When you create a thread please name it something appropriate, i.e. if you're asking about Cartel Triples, include Cartel Triples in the title. This makes it much easier for others to search and find your thread. Don't just call it: 'problem with my arrows...'

Usernames

For security reasons, when registering do not use your email address as your username.

Updating of Rules

These rules can and will be updated at regular intervals. You are advised to check here frequently for updates and amendments. Where possible the administration staff of the forum will try and contact you regarding major updates and amendments but this is not guaranteed and it is your responsibility to ensure your knowledge of these rules is up to date.
