We have just implemented a list of rules which users will be held accountable to.
A mass message has been sent to all users with a link to the new rules, but that link is also below for your reference.
There may be new rules added or the rules may change from time to time, so it is YOUR responsibility to ensure you check in regularly to ensure you are posting in line with expectations.
Any breach of the rules will result in a warning. The warning will remain on your account for one month from the date of the offence.
3 warnings = a ban.
The first warning will come with a basic message saying which rule you have broken.
The second warning will come with a PM from the staff member dealing with the warning. The message will explain in more detail as to why the warning has been issued and will re-direct you to the rules.
The third warning will result in a 30 day ban regardless of your status (ie premium member).
Once you have been banned for 30 days using this new system your account will remain in "review" for 12 months thereafter. Any breach of the rules within that returning 12 months will result in a lifetime ban.
Bans will be issued on username, email address and IP's where possible (we appreciate some users share IP addresses, so this will be reviewed).
Some offences will result in an immediate lifetime ban.
In all honesty, with the rate at which the club has grown, we cannot take the laid back attitude that we have done previously hence the new rules and warning system that has now been introduced.
I'm sorry that the days in which we just allowed you guys free reign of the forum are over. Content will be more strictly monitored now and punishments will be handed out as and when required.
