    DO Keep generally on topic.

    You may link to external sites (including your own) only if the site is TV, radio, or high-speed internet related. The link should be relevant to the thread being discussed.

    DON'T Post the same topic in more than one forum.

    DON'T Post anything malicous, offensive, or threathening, particularly insults towards other users.

    The moderator's decisions are final. The moderators are ICDG, bk, and marclt, the Tech category moderators and the administrators of Boards.ie also have moderator rights on these forums.

Any futher corspondance will be via the Boards.ie Private Messaging facility. Any member repeatedly refusing to comply with this section will be issued with a ban from the Cable and Digital forums, at this discretion of the moderator concerned.

    Anyone caught breaking these rules will have the relevant post deleted and for a serious or presistant breach, themselves permanently banned.

    Hi,

    Due to recent dificulties here, the following section is being inserted in the T & Cs, effetive immediately:

    "The moderator's decisions are final. The moderators are ICDG, DMC, Mossy Monk, and Earthman, the administrators of Boards.ie also have moderator rights on these forums. DON'T start any thread, the purpose of which is to question a moderator decision. A moderator decision will not usually be taken without reason, and such reason will usually be posted. Any futher corspondance will be via the Boards.ie Private Messaging facility. Any member repeatedly refusing to comply with this section will be issued with a ban from the ICDG forums, at this discretion of the moderator concerned. "

    Let me be quite clear on this: thread's questioning moderator decisions will NOT be tolerated. You may question a decision should you feel the need via PM, and you will usually recieve a reply. But threads just to question decisions will not be allowed. The first such thread will be locked and any subsequent threads will be deleted and the posters banned.
