Charter for West and all subforums

biko

Please don't do these things:

* 1. Posts linking to illegal or inappropriate material (warez, porn etc.)
* 2. Commercial or site spamming, shilling etc.
* 3. Abusive posts, flaming, baiting etc.
* 4. Blatently dragging threads off-topic
* 5. Attention-seeking, particularly when you're not funny
* 6. Please don't chain-post garbage in the middle of a thread. If you want to have a conversation with someone, PM them or go on IRC.
* 7. Feel free to let others know about your fun thing/event in response to a request for something, but starting a thread to pimp your event is not allowed. This goes for ANY type of event. This is a discussion board, not a poster wall. For music events, read the Gigs\Events forum charter and see if you should post there instead.
* 8. Do not post anything potentially defamatory or libellous about businesses or people. 'Free Speech' is vetoed by the welfare of Boards.ie. For instance do not post anti-recommendations, if you don't like a place then do not post here to let people know.
Service/food experiences are too subjective to be reliable and frankly, we don't know you well enough to know your reasons to put a place down.
If you have a problem with a business and need advice, please use Consumer Issues forum. If someone asks for recommendations, don't use the opportunity to mention places that have "wronged" you. Take it up with the manager instead of the internet.
* 9. Do not use derogatory terms when referring to members of racial, ethnic or cultural minorities.
* 10. Txt spk, don't use it here, it's harder to read and you have a full keyboard in front of you.
* 11. Anything that causes mods work without benefiting the community.


If you have things to sell use www.adverts.ie, for tickets (buy/sell) www.toutless.com
Accommodation (wanting/offering) is to be posted on www.daft.ie.

A thread that has nothing to do with the forum it's in, or is better suited for another forum, will be moved.
Please don't put up your mail or phone number as this forum is public. Use the PM function.

If you have a problem with a post, thread or user, use the 'Report Bad Post' icon (looks like a red/white triangle) or PM one of the mods - we are listed at the bottom-right of the forum. If you have a problem with a decision made by one of the mods on this board, standard operating procedure is to PM the mod first, there probably a good reason for what happened. If your problem has still not been resolved, PM the other mods of the forum.

If you have questions about your account, want to do business with boards or generally have questions/information that does not pertain to the West forum but boards as an entity please use the contact page - http://www.boards.ie/contact

Above all, use your common sense. Be nice/helpful and people will be nice/helpful back.
Moderators will act at their discretion.
