Forum Rules
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:14 pm
Welcome to the JOC Forum! You'll find us the friendliest bunch around, but occasionally tempers can get frayed, or perhaps through the medium of email / internet, someone takes offence when none was intended.
At present we have a Forum Administrator, three Co-Administrators and our moderators - a team that are here to help you, and to get involved in the day to day running of the board. If ever you need any help from any of the Forum team, do not hesitate to contact them through the PM (Private Message) function.
Sometimes we may have to intervene if threads or posts start to become unruly or offensive. Basically. if the admin team do not like a thread or post, if the admin team finds a thread or post offensive (whether to the admin team or other forum member(s), or for any reason that the admin team thinks appropriate:
The thread will be locked with a reason given for this locking and then one day later it will be deleted.
If any forum member appears to be guilty of starting any of these abovementioned objectionable threads or posts, then the admin team will have quiet word with them via PM (Private Message).
If the same member (in the opinion of the admin team) tries it on again, we will have another quiet word, and then the script '1st Warning' will appear below their name when they post messages. If it happens again, their forum membership will be deleted forthwith.
If any member posts the contents of a PM (Private Message) from another forum member or admin, then their forum membership will be deleted forthwith.
We are very fortunate here on the JOC Forum that we rarely need to intervene, so jump in and have a swim around, you'll be made very welcome!
