1. Please be aware that this is a public forum and all postings will be available to anyone with an Internet connection.
2. The basic ground rules for discussions are simple: be polite, use common sense, and don't break the law.
3. We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
4. Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
5. No Spamming allowed. In case you need a definition, "Spamming" is defined as the deliberate, repeated posting of irrelevant material.
6. No Flaming allowed. "Flaming" is defined as a personal, malicious or judgemental attack on another person or group, and will not be tolerated. The line between expressing strong opinions and flaming someone can sometimes be a fine one. The forum administrator will take the final decision as to whether or not a message is a “flame”.
7. No vulgar language or profanity - This includes inappropriate words, inappropriate sexual references and other vulgar statements. Some of these words will be automatically filtered out and replaced with ***, but there's no need to test the system. Persistent offenders will be banned.
8. Don't reply with an off-topic comment/question; instead start a new thread.
9. Please!, don't post your email address in the forums! Spambots love forum users who post their email addresses to public sites, and grab those addresses in order to flood their in-box with unsolicited mail, often of an offensive nature.
10. Anyone can read the content in these forums but only registered users can post a comment or topic. Whatever you post here is a comment made by you and is not endorsed by marketweighton.org. If YOU write it, YOU must be prepared to stick by it.
11. If you write something, you alone are responsible for it and if you wish to reconsider a statement you have made, you are more than welcome to return to the forum and edit your comment.
12. Be aware that if you insult, libel, or offend anyone reading this forum you alone are responsible for the content you placed there so the offended party may choose to take legal action against you. Marketweighton.org assumes no responsibility for anything you contribute to this forum, or anything you may read here.
13. Please do not post any details of anyone's personal address or telephone number on the message boards. Such information should be the subject of email communication between individual forum members.
14. The administrator / moderator reserves the right to edit or delete any posting that is considered to contain subject matter that is inappropriate, or may cause distress to anyone who may read its content. The administrator's decision will be final.
15. The advertising of inappropriate material on the message boards is prohibited. This includes offensive images (pornography), links to websites offering pornography, drugs, 'quack' medicines, pirated software, videos and music. Members contravening these rules will be banned permanently.
16. Commercial advertising of goods and services by profit making concerns is not permitted on the message boards. The website offers sponsorship opportunities which should be used for this purpose.
17. The Market Weighton Community Website may be sponsored by local businesses or organisations, any disputes that users may have with them must not be posted on the forum.
If you have any issues with our sponsors they must be aired privately.
18. Anyone who posts critical comments concerning any business, organisation or any individual does so at their own risk, and must be able to justify their comments.
19. The forum must not be used to promote racist, ideological, religious, or political matters. All such posts will be deleted.
20. You must agree to abide by these rules as a condition of registering with the message board.
