) but as the Forum grows larger I guess there are increasing chances of having someone aboard who will continually mis-behave so, with this in mind, I've decided that maybe it's time that I laid some guidelines down for the use of this system should that unlikely situation arise.These guidelines are purely for the use of the Moderators should they be required and may be overidden should a Moderator feel the need for immediate, stronger action.
So....what are the guidelines? Official warnings followed by eventual exclusion from the Forum may be issued to any member, whether Forum Member or Club Member, for consistently breaking any of the rules contained within this section or for writing posts/PM's that may be regarded as obscene and insulting or any other abusive behaviour. If you behave then there really is nothing to concern you....
Warnings issued will remain active for six months from issue after which they will be cleared.
Stage 1: A warning is issued and no further action is taken.
Stage 2: Issue of a second warning within that six month period will result in one weeks exclusion from the Forum.
Stage 3: Issue of a third warning within that six month period will result in a further one month exclusion from the Forum.
Stage 4: Issue of a fourth, and final warning within that six month period will result in a permanent exclusion from the Forum.
