THE BELL MEMBERS FORUM
RULES & REGULATIONS
By using The Bell, you agree that you will not post any of the following material
- Any communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, threaten or cause embarrassment to a fellow member. Personal attacks will not be tolerated anywhere on these forums at any time. Keep any squabbles with another member to Private Messages.
- If you are found to be making threats of violence of any kind in a PM or on the boards, you will receive one warning before your account will be permanently banned. No one will be immune to this.
- Continuously posting off-topic material in the incorrect forum(s) is not permitted and will result in a suspension of the users’ account. The Bell is for SSFC discussion. Post in the correct forums at all times. We will hand out suspensions for repeat offenders if our warnings go unheeded. Also, BEFORE YOU POST, READ THE FORUMS. If another thread exists, please use it rather than starting a new one on the same topic
- Imitating a Moderator via username or using an avatar to depict yourself as a Moderator will result in a lifetime ban. Also, attacking Moderators publicly anywhere on the forums will result in your removal. If you have an issue with our performance, take it up with us directly via an email to membership@souths.com.au
- Any communication that contains spam (multiple copies in one area or the same communication in multiple areas). Posting links to other forums with the intent to draw more traffic to that forum is prohibited
- Material that defames, abuses or threatens others(see above regarding personal attacks)
- Statements that are bigoted, hateful or racially offensive. This will result in an immediate ban
- Material that advocates illegal activity or discusses illegal activities with the intent to commit them.
- Advertising or any form of commercial solicitation. Posting links with the sole intention of getting more traffic to another site will not be tolerated.
- Politics and/or Religion based topics are not permitted here at any time. This is absolutely not the place for such discussions. Anyone bringing any topics related to either Politics or Religion will be removed from the boards without warning. Not open to discussion
- "Trolling" or making statements that are obviously designed to irritate or enrage other posters is not permitted at any time. This behavior, regardless of post count or length of time on the boards, will NOT be tolerated. Punishment for such behavior may range from suspensions or a total banning of an account and/or IP address. Further warning will not be given from this point on.
- Statements or postings that violate the above terms will be deleted from postings upon discovery. While we may attempt to notify you if we move or delete a post, we are under no obligation to do so.
- Depending on the nature of the violation, SSFC at their sole discretion may terminate a customer's account. If a post is moved or deleted, you will receive an email at the address you registered with from the Membership team, notifying you of the action taken. It is suggested that you check this email account if you notice that something you posted is not where it once was, as you will get the information from the email that is sent.
