Our Safety Measures

 

User Registration & Moderation

We enforce strict guidelines on acceptable content. To maintain a safe and welcoming environment, we have an active moderation system in place:

• New User Monitoring: When a new user registers, their posts require manual approval for a set period until we confirm their legitimacy.
• Advanced Security: We utilise security tools from Cloudflare to protect against malicious activity and ensure a safer forum experience.
• Restricted Direct Messaging: To prevent abuse and safeguard our community, new members cannot access direct messaging facilities to non-staff users until their account is verified or approved by a moderator.

 

Moderation & Community Guidelines

Our dedicated moderation team ensures that discussions remain respectful, inclusive, and constructive. To maintain a positive environment, we strictly prohibit:

• Hate speech, discrimination, and personal attacks
• Harassment, threats, or bullying
• Spamming or excessive self-promotion
• Inappropriate or illegal content
• Trolling or disruptive behaviour
• A more extensive list can be found via our Terms & Rules

 

To further support a safe space, we implement manual word censorship to automatically filter out obscene language.

Violations of these guidelines will result in appropriate action from our moderators, including warnings, content removal, or account bans where necessary.

 

Consequences for Rule Violations

To maintain a respectful and safe community, violations of our guidelines may result in:

• Warnings from the moderation team for minor infractions.
• Temporary or permanent bans for severe or repeated violations.
• Content restrictions for disruptive behaviour, including limited posting privileges.

 

Reporting & Blocking Features

To ensure a safe and positive forum experience, we provide tools that allow users to report inappropriate content and manage interactions with others.

• Report a Post: If you encounter a post that violates our guidelines, click the ‘Report’ button. This sends an alert to our moderation team, who will review and take action as quickly as possible. We strive to maintain an inbox zero approach, ensuring reports are addressed promptly.
• Ignore/Block a User: If you’d rather not interact with a particular user, the ‘Ignore’ feature allows you to hide their posts and messages, helping you tailor your forum experience.
