The House Rules

The House Rules appear below. Violation of any of the rules is likely to lead to your submission being rejected.

Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant.

Please:

• No defamatory comments.
• Comments inciting people to commit any crime, including incitement of racial hatred will be rejected.
• Do not name an individual or persons
• Do not post content which you've copied from someone else and don't own the copyright.
• Do not try and post messages that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, homophobic or racially offensive.
• Do not make multiple postings. So that we can publish comments from as many different people as possible, participants should keep their number of contributions to a reasonable level. Multiple posts from one individual, or small number of individuals, discourages many others who might otherwise wish to take part.
