If you need to contact the Admins/Owners of the site, you can do this by using the contact page - http://www.boards.ie/contact




The sitewide rules listed above cover most things so there are just a few more forum specific rules to be aware of

Quoting posts
Please when quoting pics and gifs in threads edit the tags, this makes posts smaller and easier to scroll past

Reposts
It is inevitable that pics and vids will get posted again, please don't complain about them on thread, some people might not have seen them before. If they were recently posted please report them and a Mod will edit or delete as necessary
Any on thread moaning or b!tching can merit a ban

Content
This is a public forum, many people view it from work, please bear this in mind before posting something, it doesn't matter how funny it is if it breaches the PG13 rating it will be removed and banning may follow
Please do not post pics of people you have taken without their consent for the purpose of ridicule.

That is not funny
Humour is subjective, not everyone will agree that something is funny, this is a good thing
What is not a good thing is going into a thread and moaning and complaining that something isn't funny, if you don't find something funny then post something you do find funny rather than complaining on thread
Any on thread moaning or b!tching, this includes registering your displeasure using pictures, can merit a ban

Animal cruelty is not funny and will merit a ban.

NO PRO-VEGAN/ANTI-VEGAN POSTS ALLOWED.

Moderating
As a general rule, when moderators post in bold, they're posting in their capacity as a moderator.

• Don't argue with moderator decisions in-thread. If nothing else, you're dragging the thread off-topic.
• PM the moderator in question, or all of the forum moderators. Make your point civilly.
• Having discussed things with the moderator(s), if you're still unhappy, start a thread in the Dispute Resolution Forum

Please remember that moderating is a voluntary position, not a paid, full-time job. Moderators cannot be at your beck-and-call, 24-7. It may take some time to respond to any queries, PMs, etc.

If you have any suggestions for something that is missing or improvements then please post them in this thread or PM one of the Mods

Many thanks to all the members of the forum who contributed to the shaping of this charter and to the CT Mods who I robbed the format and some content from
