heated, robust debate, but comments should be polite and civil. No libel,
slander, no course swearing at all, no words that teenagers use a lot that some
people think aren't swearing but is, no insulting groups or individuals, no

Flaming or abusing users, especially Admins when appealing a ban, or in any way

Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation in topic titles or

Administration,
moderating, and support teams absolutely reserve the right to edit or remove
posts we think break any of the rules or the spirit of the rules and we reserve
the right to ban individuals from commenting at any time. The determination of
what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up
to team members and not users.
