The Policy

1. Prohibited Content

1.1. Messages that contain a level of profanity or sexual content that exceeds the moderator's definition of acceptable are prohibited.
* In practice this means content that would not be allowed on television before the 9pm watershed and also applies to website addresses that link to such material. Think of it like this: any post should be safe to view at work or by anyone of any age.

1.2. Messages that are in contradiction with British law, or that promote any act that’s against British law, are prohibited on this site.
1.2a. Legal action
* This covers posting anything that is libelous or racist/sexist/homophobic etc, or which risks legal action being taken against the site.
* Under British libel laws the burden of proof is on the defendant – truth isn’t even always a defence.
1.2b. Copyrighted materials
* Linking to sites carrying content without the permission of the copyright owner, or mentioning how to access such material, is forbidden.
* This also includes posting links to, or explaining how to access, unauthorised video or audio of copyrighted broadcasts and recordings.
* When linking to official audio or video, only do so to the relevant page on the official web site. Do not link to other sites or directly to a media stream as this is usually against the terms and conditions of the service.
* Photographs may only be posted where you own the copyright, or have been granted permission to post them.
* Copying full articles or posting video is prohibited.
* When including any such material you must post the source.
