The Movie Forum FAQ cont.

Does your forum have any rules? I hate messageboards where everyone seems to run riot.

So do we! We pride ourselves on the fact that the forum has a happy, relaxed atmosphere. The rules are simply to make that atmosphere possible. We hope you agree they represent 'common sense', and we're sure you'll find them easy to follow. However if you have any concerns about them, or find an occasion where you think they're needing enforced please do email us. Everybody's opinion is important - the forum is for the members, not just the staff!

If we do feel we have to act on something 'borderline' the decision is taken by the staff as a whole. As people have different ideas about what is 'unsuitable' we feel this is fairer to all. So, for example, if a message is posted that a staff member feel breaks our rules they remove that message from public view, then ask the other staff members their opinion. If the general consensus is that it's okay, the message will be returned to the public area. If not, the poster will be informed why it was moved and asked to re-word their message and post it again. In some very rare cases messages may be edited by the forum staff rather than moving them from view. This might be because of, for example, incorrect HTML causing problems with the display of the discussion or perhaps a member posting personal information such as a phone number. Duplicate posts (which can happen if the Post button is clicked too often) will be deleted to make the discussions easier to follow, and so the members don't have to waste time reading them!
