Basically: - Don’t act like an idiot - Accept it if you’ve been called out by another user or [mod](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators) - Correct any unacceptable behaviour How do I know if my behaviour/language is acceptable? - Someone will probably call you out openly in the thread - Someone might flag your post as being offensive, inappropriate or spam (mods will be alerted) - If multiple people flag your post you will automatically be ‘silenced’ (mods will be alerted, you will be unable to post, but able to PM a [mod](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators)) - A mod will PM you privately asking you to amend your post What defines ‘acceptable behaviour/language’? - Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech. - Respect each other. Don’t harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information. - Respect our forum. Don’t post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum - Sexism, racism, hate speech, none of that is very nice How do I amend my wicked ways? - Edit your post and apologise to those concerned. What will happen if I do nothing after being called out/flagged by another user? - A [mod](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators) will reply to the post in question and specifically request you amend it - If after 4 hours nothing is done, a [mod](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators) will PM you personally requesting you amend it. The PM will clearly be marked as an official warning - If after 4 hours nothing is done, a [mod](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators) will ‘silence’ you and you will be unable to post. But you will be able to PM the [mods](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators) - You will remain ‘silenced’ until the offending post has been satisfactorily resolved. Once you correct it, PM the [mods](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/g/moderators), they will check you’ve resolved the issue and unsilnce your account. Yes, you can still re-sign up to the forum under a different username if you want to be difficult, but then the mods will probably end up banning you. Play nicely with the other children. ---

BUT, be fun, there is a difference between fun beef and obvious cuntery. We can’t disinfect all types of cuntery from the place. ---
