It's that time of year... [ALL READ, IMPORTANT]

[GrandOldTeam]

... the time when we actively ban anyone who;

• Goes against any forum rule (No warning, no infraction - Instant ban)
• "Just looks a bit of a tool/wind up merchant" - at the discretion of the moderator.

We're considerably more lenient during the summer 'silly season' - but as we do every August, we'll be using our considerable experience to weed out absolutely anyone who we deem counter productive to the forums environment.

With that, a strong reminder that we do ask that all visitors follow our relatively laid back guidelines to ensure these forums remain user-friendly and to the high standards we set. Read all here, and pay particular attention to the high risk elements below;

Stay On Topic
Make a particular effort to ensure that your reply in any discussion is relevant and 'on topic'. If you are perceived to be deliberately diverting a thread away from it's topic, you'll be adjudged to be sabotaging and effectively spamming our forum and will be banned.

Poor, profane or obscene language of any type is not welcome - even in jest.
Bad language or Profanity negatively impacts our Search Engine Ranking, puts us at risk of losing our advertising income (AdSense has rules against excessive profanity) and above all, it sours the atmosphere of the forum.

Of course, most will make the occasional slip up. But repeat offenders (and by definition of repeat - clearly fail to show any respect to the community) will find infractions mount up to an eventual suspension.

Thanks,
