J. House Rules
28 Contributions to this Website are subject to the following terms:
28.1 Our moderators will view all comments before appearing on this Website. Our moderators will assess the comments solely on the basis of the rules outlined in these Conditions. If they believe that the comment exceeds the boundaries outlined here, the comment will be deleted and will not appear. If a comment includes unacceptable elements, we reserve the right to delete the entire comment. The decision of our moderators is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
28.2 We will not respond to comments posted on this Website. If you require a response please complete the 'contact us' section of this Website.
28.3 Criteria which our moderators judge comments on include, but are not limited to defamatory, libel, racism, sexism, sectarianism, obscenity, threatening language, impersonation or expressing support for a proscribed organisation.
28.4 We would ask that you use your name in comments wherever possible. Again this helps to add to the mature and constructive debate on the Website. If for any reason you decide to use a pseudonym, we would ask that you choose a name that is not offensive in any way and adheres to the boundaries outlined above.
28.5 Please do not use swear words in your comments. Please try to ensure spelling, punctuation and grammar in your comments are of a suitable standard. Due to the substantial number of comments we receive, our moderators do not have the time to correct your spelling.
28.6 Please do not post messages that are not related to the topic being discussed. We understand that discussions can widen beyond the original topic and are keen to foster debate, but comments that are irrelevant contribute nothing to the debate.
28.7 Please do not post the same comment a number of times. Once is sufficient. Our moderators check comments regularly and if you are patient it should appear within a reasonable period of time.
28.8 These Conditions may be amended from time to time. It is your responsibility to check for, and adhere to, the updated Conditions. The views expressed in the comment section in no way reflect those of any member of the Group. We take no responsibility for posts on this Website.
28.9 Users should not breach copyright restrictions by posting information in any form (e.g. text, video, audio, graphics) to which they do not hold the copyright. Use of this Website constitutes your acknowledgement and acceptance of the Conditions outlined.
28.10 Our web server will automatically log the IP address of anyone posting a comment to the Website. Any information gathered from that process will remain confidential and will only be disclosed as required by law. For further details please refer to our Privacy Policy appearing on this Website.
