Location: Gloucester		While we want you to enjoy your time on Metropower we have a few rules and suggestions for behaviour and conduct while on this site.

DO NOT Make Inappropriate or Offensive Posts - including threats, harrassment, swearing, prejudice, slander about Metropower, its administrators, or your fellow members. Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT THE OTHER MEMBERS

We want Metropower to be open to people of all ages, genders, races, and sexualities, so any inappropriate or offensive posts will be deleted. On most occasions a reason will be Pm'd to the person who has made the post, but please appreciate that Admin do have lives outside this forum and they may not have time.

DO NOT deliberately start arguments. Debates are great, as long as they remain respectful!

DO NOT just make a negative statement and leave the person hanging out to dry. Although you may consider yourself to be an "expert" now, try to remember that we were all new and learning once upon a time. Take it easy on your new members!

Do NOT make threats or implied threats towards other members.

DO NOT POST PORN or adult content

Non-pornographic adult related material (such as lingerie) is allowed, as long as you provide a warning in your post, such as: "WARNING: Site contains adult content that may be unsuitable for some individuals."

DO NOT post the same topic in multiple forums. If you are unsure of which forum a thread should go under, just state that in your post, and a member of the admin team will move the thread to the correct forum. Multiple posts are unnecessary and will be deleted.

DO NOT post FAO threads, We have PM's for this service and it clutters
up the forums.

Forum Abuse Policy:
1st Offense - A polite Private Message from a member of the admin team pointing out the Forum Rules, in addition to the editing or deletion of the post
2nd Offense - Public warning on the message board plus deletion of post
3rd Offense - Admin will discuss and possibly delete the user from the WebProWorld forum
Depending on the situation, Admin may bypass any and all of these steps and take whatever action is deemed appropriate.
