FORUM RULES
updated: Oct 2007 v2

Thank you for registering on Arsenal-Land. It is our aim to provide our readers with a premium forum, which draws both thoughtful and interactive debate within a respectful environment. With that in mind, we have drawn up a set of simple guidelines below, which we would appreciate you observe prior to using the forum.

These are in addition to the user agreement that all registered members are bound to.

GUIDELINES:

1 - POSTING

Keep on topic - Please consider the original topic of each thread and relate your replies to that original topic.

Duplicate threads - Prior to posting a new topic, please ensure that you are not duplicating a topic already being discussed elsewhere on the forum.

2 - LANGUAGE

Respect each other- Please show respect for your fellow members when you post, debate the point and not the person. Differences of opinion should not be deemed as offensive.

Swearing - Whilst we do not employ a non-swearing policy, please be mindful of the fact that swearing may offend others.

Spelling, grammar and typing - We all want to read well-written debate on these forums, but mistakes do happen – please don’t reply to threads just to correct people’s errors. Not only is it irrelevant to the thread, it can also cause offence.

Additionally, please refrain from using ‘SMS-text’ abbreviated language.

3 - CONTENT

Referencing sources – For external articles please provide a link to the piece and post the content minus irrelevant information from the external source. Please bold the title and set text to large and add your reply at the bottom, preferably in a different colour to make it clear where the article stops and where your viewpoint begins.

Example of format

Addressing users for personal reasons – This should be done so via the sending of a PM, and not through the creation of a new topic or existent topic.

4 – ABUSIVE BEHAVOIUR / IMPROPER CONDUCT

Abusive behaviour - We will not tolerate abusive behavior on this forum in any form whatsoever.

Inappropriate content - We deem content of racist / sexual nature completely inappropriate for this forum.

Should we deem your conduct to be unsuitable for this forum, you will be warned in the first instance or expelled instantly, if felt necessary.

If you are issued a warning, a secondary offence will result in you being expelled from the site by default.

*The moderators on Arsenal-Land are not here to police the message boards, but to ensure that everyone gets the best out of the site. Please respect this and any advice or guidance they may issue to you; it is for your benefit.

We are more than happy to address any issues you have about accessing Arsenal-Land, or if you have any feedback or suggestions. You can contact Arsenal-Land via the contact form on the main site, via PM or, by posting in the 'Support and Development forum'.

Please be aware of the following amendments to the forum rules:

Version 2: Inappropriate content - We deem content of racist / sexual nature completely inappropriate for this forum. (8th October 2007)

In order to keep Arsenal-Land membership current, if a Member does not post on his or her account for a period of 12 months or more, Arsenal-Land may, in its sole discretion, terminate such Member's account. Arsenal-Land will endeavor to notify a Member of Arsenal-Land’s intent to terminate such Member's account by notice to such Member's provided email address at least 30 days prior to deactivation. If the Member fails to respond to such email notice within 30 days after the day it is sent by Arsenal-Land, such Member's account will be terminated as noted above. Therefore, Arsenal-Land strongly recommends that all Members keep their accounts and contact data current and in use. While Arsenal-Land desires to prevent active accounts from being terminated prematurely, Arsenal-Land has no obligation to maintain accounts that appear to have been abandoned. Each Member agrees that failure to post on his or her account for 12 months or more conclusively indicates that such Member's account has been abandoned and that the account may therefore be terminated.
