We want to make the forum interesting, entertaining, informative & fun.

Saying that, we need to keep some semblance of order on here, with everything in its appropriate place.

This is a general forum, representing the Accrington area. As such, we need to keep it as friendly & inviting as possible, and for it to be a good representation of the people who live here.

[hr]

1: Interesting, informative & serious topics to be put in appropriate sections, where ever the poster sees fit.

2: All jokes & funny or silly topics to be kept to the Anything Goes section.

3: Serious threads to be kept that way, with the risk of any silly comments added being deleted.

4: Anything Goes section to be removed from the top 50/20/10 posts & threads lists. Anyone who wants to find these topics can do so. This leaves the said lists for informative and important topics, so they can be easily accessed.

5: No “adult” jokes or unsuitable links to be left anywhere on the forum. These will be deleted.

6: No unnecessary swear words. What is considered a swear word can be a matter of personal opinion, but they risk deletion on being reported.  

7: As stated, there will be no “Top 5 Posters” list.
It has been pointed out that in some cases there is the possibility that people appear to be making postings just to raise their scores.

8: No personal names, addresses & phone numbers to be left on the forum, unless with consent of the person concerned.

9: Please try to avoid using too many posts containing just smilies, as these can become irritating after a while, especially if there are several one after the other.

10: Please think when you post. Make sure what you write would be acceptable to forum members as a whole, and is not offensive. Reported posts will be deleted.

11: If users need to have a private or semi private conversation then please take advantage of the chatroom rather than clogging up the messageboard.

12: All posts on the forum to be made in English. If you wish to communicate in a foreign language, please do so on the IM.

13: Introduction threads to be kept as such, with only welcome and thankyou posts.  

All this said please enjoy your time on the forum, and feel free to offer any suggestions on how to improve it.

Please report anything you think is not in the appropriate place, or which you think should be edited or deleted.
