Forum Guidelines

Please read the following rules and guidelines very carefully. By proceeding to post you agree to these guidelines and must obey them at all times. Refusal to obey these guidelines will result in the appropriate responsive actions.

We have implemented the following guide for using our community forums. This guide is designed to strike a balance between the main goal of our forums, providing support, and keeping the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for the user community.

We will not accept the promotion of competitors products.

We require all posts to be polite, constructive, and on topic.

Having fun is good. We like fun. Please keep it positive and polite. We may take action against posts and/or topics that could cause unrest in the community beyond a civil and polite disagreement.

You may not make personal attacks on other users or staff members.

You may not use profanity. It is unprofessional and offensive and will not be tolerated. We have word filters in place for the most vulgar terms. Circumventing those word filters will result in punitive action.

Attempts to circumvent URL filtering will result in disciplinary action.

We reserve the right to ban any member who violates our guidelines or disrupts our community. We will be fair and provide warning in most cases.

We take serious complaints to heart and will do our best to address them.

The Golden Rules

  1. There will be no profanity or foul language. Any un-called for language will be removed and you will receive a final warning.
  2. There will be no racial, ethnic, gender based insults or any other personal discriminations.
  3. There will be no posts meant to offend or hurt any other member, in a manner which is offensive or inflammatory.
  4. Spamming is not permitted; please keep all your posts as constructive as possible.
  5. Buying, selling and trading is not permitted under any circumstances.
  6. Pornography, warez, or any other illegal transactions may NOT be linked in any shape or form.
  7. Advertising is forbidden in any relation to your account except by explicit permission
  8. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong forum, it may be removed by a moderator.
  9. Any impersonation of a user within these forums, in any mode of communication, is strictly prohibited.
  10. If you are linking to external content, you should link directly to that content. It is unacceptable to use link-thru systems to mask the originating URL, and cases where this is found to be happening may be edited or removed as appropriate.

Hornby reserves the right to remove or censor ANY post at our discretion.

Violation of any of these rules will result in consequences determined on a case-by-case basis.
