Please keep your forum safe: House Rules Reminder

[PainConcernProjects]

Afternoon everyone,

We at Pain Concern are proud to provide a safe space where users can talk about their Pain Concerns. In the spirit of keeping this forum useful, safe and to avoid spoiling interesting content, please keep to the topic discussed and avoid unnecessary arguments between members.

HU's rightly reminds us: ''If they think someone have breached the guidelines: The best thing to do is to ignore and report. Users that respond to abuse are likely to contribute with the negative atmosphere and engage in conflict''

Please keep these few house rules in mind when contributing on Pain Concern Forums:

- Respect other people, comments should not be abusive, intimidating or offensive in nature, and should not be made to deliberately provoke other commentators.

- Don’t include swearing, obscenity, profanity or foul language.

- Don’t incite hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality, sexuality or any other personal characteristic.

- Don’t link to sites or images containing pornography, gross violence, or any content likely to cause offence in any way.

- Don’t break the law – this includes libel, condoning illegal activity and breaking copyright.

- Don’t advertise commercial products and services, you can mention relevant products and services as long as they support your comment, but not link to them.
