The Off Topic — Discussion forum is an UN-Moderated Forum.
This means that you are responsible for you own behaviour and the content and tone of your discussions, but also the future of this Forum.
While we will not actively moderate this forum, abusive behaviour and illegal activity will be shut down. If you are looking for a guideline - try this one: If you could be arrested or warned for saying what you are saying in public, then it does not belong here in a public forum. You can still be banned for excessive and unacceptable behaviour even in here. Remember this is a support forum and the majority are adults or in the process of becoming one.
We have restricted the ability to post pictures and other items in this forum, and will leave you to you own devices within reasonable limits - see above re: abusive and illegal activity. This is the price of having more freedom and control to have your own areas for discussion not related to SmallWorlds.
This is a chance for the majority of you to act as responsible adults and moderate your own behaviours. If postings become excessive and the Forum becomes untenable then we will shut this Forum down and remove it altogether.
This is an experiment in community self management and I encourage you all to take it seriously, and we won't be closing this because of the actions of one or two people but by the overall tone and content of this Forum, the community at large is a good one despite a few bad apples.
This is your chance to prove that.
Thank S.A Team
