We want to ensure that user-generated content published on our website is relevant and lawful. So, we have created these House Rules to give you an idea of things to avoid mentioning in your content and posts. Please read these rules carefully before you write anything that will be published on our website. Our website administrators will moderate content and may remove content that is in violation of these rules. Your account may also be suspended for serious or repeated violations. All decisions of our website administrators are final. In very exceptional cases, we may be legally compelled to reveal your account information to the authorities.

Now, onto the rules…

1. No swearing or offensive language. We want to keep our website engaging for all of its users and this kind of language could put people off using our website.
2. No comments that are unlawful, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, sexually oriented, homophobic, or racially offensive.
3. No spamming. Please don’t re-post content that is the same or similar to what you have already posted.
4. No defamatory content. This means no content that is untrue and likely to damage the reputation of another person or an organization. You could face legal action from the person or organization that you have defamed, and we don’t want that.
5. No personal information. Never publicize your own personal information or that of anyone else, such as full name, address, telephone number, email address, etc. This is for your own safety and the safety of everyone who uses our website.
6. Keep your content relevant. Please keep your content relevant to the topic at hand. If you post something that isn’t relevant, we might remove it.
7. Do not copy others. Please ensure that all content that you post is written in your own words and does not violate copyright laws.
8. Do not advertise or link to third party websites. We want to ensure that the promotion of any third party websites is endorsed by us, so please ensure that you do not include links in your content.
9. NO CAPS LOCK. IF YOU WRITE IN CAPS LOCK IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE RAISING YOUR VOICE. We can hear you just fine without caps lock, so please take it off when writing your comments.
