The House Rules which appear below are divided into two sections.
Violation of any of the rules in the first section is likely to lead to the
immediate suspension of your account and could lead to legal action being
taken against you by the authorities or an aggrieved party.
Be aware that in exceptional circumstances we could be legally obliged
to reveal your registration information and/or IP address to the
authorities.
Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant. Please:
- No defamatory comments. A defamatory comment is one that is
capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation. If
successfully sued you could be held liable for considerable damages and
costs.
- Avoid contempt of court which means not posting anything that
risks prejudicing on-going or forthcoming court proceedings.
- Do not incite people to commit any crime, including incitement of
racial hatred.
- Avoid breaking a court injunction (for example, naming an
individual or speculating as to their current whereabouts after a court has
issued an injunction against doing so).
- Do not post content which you've copied from someone else and
don't own the copyright.
- Do not post articles that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory,
abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented or
racially offensive.
- No swearing. People of all ages read and contribute to Have Your
Say. Please don't use profanities or other words which might offend them.
- No spamming or flooding. Don't repost the same article, or very
similar article, more than once.
- No personal information. It is not acceptable to publicise your or
anyone else's contact details including address, place of employment, name
of educational establishment, telephone or mobile number, email address,
etc. This is for your own safety and that of everyone who uses this service.
Copyright and the law
