Contentious names will not be permitted.
1- Offensive Messages/Images - Do NOT post images or messages that are rude, offensive or of a nature that is unsuitable for children. I’m afraid ladies and gentleman, this is a family board suitable for all ages and town fans. It is not a gentleman’s club, and never has been. I don’t think this is an issue really on B and A, but think before your post. Would you be happy for your children to read/see that?
2 - No Excessive Cursing - The occasional, and tame curse word is allowed (at the say of the moderators) however, anything stronger is not allowed or tolerated. If a word is changed by the swearword blocker on B and A then assume its not allowed. Do NOT attempt to avoid the word censor in any way.
3 - Threatening Behaviour - No threatening behaviour is to be contained in the subject or body of any posting. Any communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, threaten or cause embarrassment to others is strictly prohibited. If you think that posting that you’re going to get someone, or tell them to watch your back, your wrong… that’s a big no no!
4 - Signatures – You can post anything in these areas at the bottom of your posts, as long as it adheres to the rules above. You can also use images if you wish, but not video signatures. Admin reserve the right to modify and or delete signatures, without warning, which they consider too large. Please note that you must not use your signature or any part of your profile to be used as a form of continuing any sort of dispute/grievance/harassment against any other member. Again the admin will edit any offending profile, or of it continues ban or delete the account.
5 - Personal Information - Do NOT give out personal information that you are privileged to unless you are prepared to accept any consequences that may arise as a result of doing so, such as names, telephone numbers or other private contact details. This can be a serious offence depending on what information you have posted.
6 - Other Fans - Welcome other fans to the board from other clubs, inform them the have chosen unwisely to support there team and enter into a debate with them as to why. Do not attempt to call them names and tell them to **** off to there own board.
7 - Accounts - You are ONLY permitted ONE (1) account unless you have permission from a moderator. If you create another account and break any rules from that account we will punish both accounts. And we like to punish! Anyone posting with two accounts to make it look like they back up in argument will be breaking the new rules.
8 - Bullying - Bullying of another member will NOT be tolerated on this forum.
9 - Legal stuff - Libellous or defamatory posts are strictly prohibited.
10 - Spam - Spamming the board is strictly prohibited and will result in preventative and disciplinary measures being taken by the B and A moderating team. A poster will be deemed to be spamming if, in the opinion of the board moderators, he or she is posting excessively on the board on the same subject or similar subjects, to the extent that it is causing annoyance or inconvenience to board users.
11- Bad Posts - Statements that are bigoted, hateful, racially, homophobic or religiously offensive will not be tolerated.
12 - Illegal - Material that advocates illegal activity or discusses illegal activities with the intent to commit them will not be tolerated. This includes posting links to streaming websites that are quite obviously showing live sports events which are in breach of copyright.
13 - Porno - The posting of pornographic material or linking to external pornographic material is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of pornographic images within user's avatars. Whats the limit you ask, if you think a image is going to fall foul of this, PM it to a Mod and ask... we dont mind.
14 – Advertising on the Main Board – We now have a buy and sell section on B and A and anyone who has anything to sell or services to provide to B and A members would put it in here first. Mods will move posts off the main board into the buy and sell section with out warning. This is of course not applicable to the fanzine or any other B and A tat!
15 - Probards Rules – When you all signed up to B and A you also agreed to the Proboard's Terms of Service, these can be found here; proboards.com/tos
You must also adhere to the rules set down by proboards.
16 - Images – If You post an image on B&A You agree to allow any user to download your image, ammend your image and or repost your image. Anyone who uses someone elses image must not use the image for personal gain. Any monies made from an image shall be owed to the original owner of the image. (This rule applies to all images posted after 28/6/10 and NOT before)
17 - SHOUTING – Just because you feel you have a good point to make THERE IS NO NEED TO SHOUT IT.
18 - Generally being annoying – Like it says on the tin.
Reporting a Rule Break
Should a rule break be missed by one of our army of moderators, all registered members have the option to report something they think is unacceptable.
Recently we have added a “report this post to admin” button on the bottom of all posts. If you click this it will forward a link to the post to the Admin who can address this as soon as humanly possible.
In the first few months of this feature we have noticed it working very well and speeding up the identification of potential issues and arguments on B and A before they spiral out of control.
Please continue to use this feature, and use it as your first port of call if you have any concerns about a post on Blue and Amber.
New Warning System and Bannings
When these rules are finally published, a new warning system will be introduced.
Should you break any of the rules above as deemed by a moderator, then you will be dealt with in the following way.
1st Offence – Posts changed and informed as to why it was not acceptable.
2nd Offence – Official Warning
3nd Offence – 1 Day ban issued.
4rd Offence – 3 day ban issued - No right of reply – Instant Ban.
5th Offence – 2 week ban issued - No right of reply – Instant Ban.
6th Offence – Life ban, and account deleted. IP Address locked out of B and A (if appropriate).
It is also noted that some rule breaks could be so bad that moderators may skip 1,2,3,4,5 steps and move straight to a life ban.
All rule breaks are being tracked and saved in a new system, you will not be able to trick the moderators into which level of warning you have reached. This system will commence with a fresh slate for all members from the issue of these new rules.
If a banned member attempts to avoid his/hers ban by setting up a new account and if found out, then that moves them onto the next offence level
