GUIDELINES
NEWS GENERAL is all about debate and having your say. But like any other group, it needs basic rules which protect its members' rights to take part without being subjected to behaviour which they may find offensive.
Members are expected to adopt a common sense approach to questions of racism, sexism and tolerance of other people and their views. If you disagree with someone's point of view you are free to say so, but must not resort to offensive language or personal attacks which contribute nothing to debate.
While the term 'offensive language' is not always easy to define, the managers of this group reserve the right to use their discretion to ensure it remains a comfortable environment for all of its members. Don't post anything that most parents would consider offensive for even their youngest children to see.
Members should note NEWS GENERAL does not carry an adult content warning. This means minors can and do access threads posted on the board, so adult attachments and links to sites of an adult or sexual nature should not be posted.
Posting guidelines:
The managers of this group reserve the right to take action against those who breach its simple rules.
