Modelwarships UK Discussion Board - House Rules

Modelwarships UK aim is to provide a space for peer support, discussion and information exchange.

The following set of rules foster an environment of shared values, mutual respect and trust, and your use of the Discussion Board implies your agreement to these House Rules.

Please remember at all times that Modelwarships UK is run by volunteers. Therefore there may be a delay in responding to enquiries or comments, and in moderating the Discussion Board.

Modelwarships UK reserves the right to implement the points set out below without warning, and without discussion with individuals posting on the Discussion Board.

1. You may find that legitimate threads which have been posted in the wrong topic will be moved by the moderators to a more appropriate location. Take care to start a thread in the appropriate topic.

2. The Discussion Board administrator/moderators will not delete posts or threads on demand,* but will consider requests to temporarily quarantine or delete threads which have degenerated for some reason.

3. Modelwarships UK reserves the right to remove any postings which do not adhere to the guidelines set out in this policy, or to take further action if required (see below)

4. You are responsible for any content you post. Where it relates to an existing discussion topic or article, you should ensure that it is relevant and likely to prove useful to other Discussion Board members

5. Please be polite and respectful towards other members of the Modelwarships UK community, and remember that others may not always share your point of view. Disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.

6. You must be respectful of other people's feelings and differing values. Being someone who "speaks your mind" does not excuse a lack of consideration for others. We must all remember that communicating online is a somewhat impersonal medium, and your tone and body language will be lost, making the real meaning of your post open to misinterpretation. Your conversational style may seem "open and up front" to you, but it might appear intimidating and offensive to others. Any such postings will be removed

7. Please consider other users at all times when using the Discussion Board. Behaviour that deters other members from engaging with the community is considered offensive. Allow other members to contribute and do not dominate any discussions. Any complaints about members demonstrating such behaviour will be taken seriously

8. Modelwarships UK does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other information displayed, uploaded or distributed through the Modelwarships UK Discussion Board. In using the Discussion Board you acknowledge that any reliance on any such opinion, advice, statement or information shall be at your own risk

9. You are responsible for copyright infringement in your messages. Remember that copyright infringement is a form of theft and is punishable as such. Please ensure that any material you post that is not your own is either free of copyright or that you have received permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material for these purposes. Modelwarships UK cannot be held responsible for any copyright infringement by individuals on the Discussion Board

10. When posting material on the Discussion Board, you are responsible for ensuring that all such material is free of any libellous or discriminatory statements of any form. Modelwarships UK cannot be held responsible for any such statements made by individuals on the Discussion Board.

In the unfortunate event of any member abusing the Discussion Board in any of the ways set out above, Modelwarships UK reserves the right to remove or edit postings. If members continue to behave in an unsuitable manner, they will receive notification of this via a written warning, after which if the behaviour continues, they will banned from future participation in the Discussion Board community. Depending on the severity of the circumstances, Modelwarships UK members may find their membership revoked indefinitely. Decisions concerning what action should be taken is at the sole discretion of the administrators.

All issues or complaints regarding messages or threads posted on the Discussion Board should be referred to the moderating team (modelwarshipsuk@btinternet.com).
