Please read the following rules and guidelines very carefully.

By proceeding to post you agree to these guidelines. Refusal to adhere to these guidelines will result in appropriate responsive actions.

This guide is designed to strike a balance between the main goal of our forums (providing support for newcomers) and keeping the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for all our users by allowing interesting and thought-provoking discussion.

• Please keep all discussion polite or, at the very least, civil. Action will be taken against posts and/or topics that cause distress beyond a debate or disagreement.
• We will not accept active promotion or advertising of non-Hornby Hobbies brands.
• Never post personal information, such as your address, telephone number or email address.
• You may not make personal attacks on other users and members of staff. Abuse, of any kind, will NOT be tolerated.
• Everything posted on our Forum is considered user generated content and can be used by Hornby Hobbies Limited at its discretion. For full details please check our Terms & Conditions (found towards the bottom of the page, titled 'User Generated Content').
• All advice given is followed at your own risk. Posts are made in good faith, Hornby Forum users cannot be held personally accountable and Hornby Hobbies Limited cannot be held liable, for the results of following any instructions given.

We reserve the right to ban any user who violates our guidelines or disrupts our community. While we will try and offer fair warning, this may not always be possible.

Any serious complaints can be reported via the ‘Report’ button on each post, or by contacting the Forum Administrator directly at forum@hornby.com.

Rules for Posting:

• No profanity or foul language. This includes using stars (*) or other characters instead of letters. Any un-called for language will be removed and repeated offences will be punished.
• No racial, ethnic or gender based insults and other personal discriminations. Any references to these kind of discriminations will also be removed.
• No posts meant to offend, hurt or cause distress for any other user. This includes actively antagonizing (“trolling”) users or members of staff.
• Spamming or repeatedly posting similar topics will not be permitted.
• Any transaction involving sharing personal information is not allowed on the Forum.
• Pornography, warez or any other illegal transactions may NOT be posted or linked in any shape or form.
• Remember to post in the correct sub-forum. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong sub-forum it will be moved by the administrator. Intentionally or repeatedly mis-placing topics will be punished.
• Any impersonation of a user or organisation within these forums is strictly prohibited.
• 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.

We reserve the right to remove or censor ANY post at our discretion. Violation of any of these rules and guidelines will result in consequences determined on a case-by-case basis.
