We take pride in keeping our message boards respectful, pleasant, and enjoyable for members of all ages. Please read the following guidelines before posting.

Self-Promotion
All posts are read by our administration and moderation team. If we catch questionable content, it will immediately be edited or removed for further investigation. Any post that is considered advertising for one's self-interests, outside the advertising areas will be removed and dealt with accordingly.

While you are allowed to promote your web site(s) in your signature, don’t over do it. One or two is fine. Repeat violators who post promotional content will be permanently banned.

Language and Trolling
Our community is family-friendly. There are young users and language should be kept within a tolerable level. Vulgar language is not allowed. This constitutes the use of any kind of offensive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate material deemed unsafe for younger members. Inappropriate language will potentially be removed and users will be warned.

Do not post provocative, outrageous, or pointless messages only to get a response from others, i.e. "trolling." Repeat violators will be permanently banned.

Lastly, if it is abundantly clear that a user has no intention of positively contributing to link exchange discussions, combined with an abrasive, combative attitude, they will be banned. Users must demonstrate an interest in contributing to link exchange discussions, as this is a link exchange site after all. In other words, users who wish to do nothing but argue politics or other non-link exchange issues are not welcome as they do nothing to contribute to the site and are not worth the trouble and headaches.

Personal Attacks
In order to maintain a positive atmosphere, no personal attacks or insults will be tolerated. While discussions may become heated, it is not an excuse to result to attacks or insults. There is a difference between a passionate, respectful discussion and one that delves into personal matters. Think of it as debating issues, not individuals. When the line is crossed, the discussion may be closed by the moderation team. Violators will be warned and potentially banned.

Moderators and Administrators have the Final Word
If you have a problem or a complaint, direct it to the administrators and/or moderators, not to the boards. The appropriate actions will be taken. We reserve the right to ban flagrant offenders when deemed necessary, with or without prior warning.

Cross-Posting
If you have something to post and you're not sure which board it belongs in, do not post it in more than one board. If the administrators or moderators think it would fit better in another location, it will be moved there. Duplicate threads only serve to create confusion.

Signature Rules
A typical signature contains the poster's name, e-mail address, website, and a favourite quote or saying. No more than 1 link are allowed in your signature. Excessive font size are not allowed. Anyone abusing this privilege will be warned and then have their signature removed until they acknowledge this guideline.

Multiple Accounts Per Individual Are Not Permitted
If you forget your password, use the password recovery tool, in which case you will be able to reset your password, given that you have access to the e-mail associated with your account. If you are still unable to login, contact the administrator.

Contacting the administrator
If you need to contact the site admin to report anything or for general feedback: <!-- e --><a href="mailto:support@linkexchangeforum.co.uk">support@linkexchangeforum.co.uk</a><!-- e -->

Rule changesForum admins can amend these rules to suit a particular situation at any time without question.
