Conditions"). These Terms and Conditions expressly incorporate by

Website
/ Forums Terms and Conditions
Any
organised gathering must have rules and conventions if it is to operate
efficiently, and the ITPP Ltd Website / Forums are no exception. On the whole
we function with a minimum of red tape, and we want our visitors to feel
welcome and able to express themselves in their own way. We are a friendly
website however, and there are inevitably some do's and don'ts that must be
observed if we are to get along together. Regular users will be familiar with
much of what follows. Newcomers, who may be unfamiliar with Website / Forum
procedures, should find it useful. It's your website, we hope you'll enjoy your
time here. You must be over 16 years of age to register to use the website.
Disclaimer
The
website is populated by fellow local residents and business people, and if you
act upon any advice you are given you do so entirely at your own risk. The
opinions expressed by registered users and the Editor(s) / Moderator(s) are not
necessarily those of ITPP LTD., and the
company will not be liable for the consequences of following advice given in
this website by other registered users.
Terminology
Plain
English is the order of the day, but there are some words that you will see
being used regularly.
* Thread - the word used to describe a topic. A thread may be started by
any member to advertise a business or event or comment.
* Item / Post - a message that is 'posted' to by anyone who wishes to
contribute. When you click on a thread title it will open to reveal all the
messages that have been posted by other members. You can add your own comments.
* Moderator - someone who watches the website for inappropriate thread content.
We monitor Website / Forum activity, and the Website / Forum editor(s) /
moderators will sometimes remove threads or posts if he/ she believe them to be
inappropriate in nature. If you are unhappy about a particular item, or if you
want to contact us privately you can do so at any time by using the contact
form.. Type your message and click the 'Send message' button; we'll contact you
as soon as possible.
Best practice
We
have evolved a system of day to day conduct which we believe helps the Website
/ Forum to function smoothly, and we look to our members to abide by the system
whenever possible. We are a community, and we expect our members to respect our
code of conduct.
* Personal email addresses - please do not include your email address when
posting an event. Personal privacy is something that once compromised is
difficult to regain, and posting an address in a web Website / Forum is akin to
advertising it on TV - it can be read (and used) by thousands of strangers. You
are safe to post your email address in a business listing.
* Offensive comment - Website / Forum discussions can sometimes become heated.
They often take place more or less in real time, and it can be tempting to
respond offensively in the heat of the moment. Personal abuse directed at
another Website / Forum member is totally unacceptable, and such posts will be
removed without warning. Incidents may result in a Website / Forum member's
registration being invalidated permanently and legal action or police action
being taken.
* Thread titles - Please try to give your thread a meaningful title - one which
will indicate its subject matter to other Website / Forum users. A thread
entitled "Aaaargghhhh!!!!! will irritate other users, and will be less
likely to attract the right response.
* Inform - when posting your thread please try to provide as much information
as you can. Be specific about what you have to say.
* Personal contact - we do not advise you to arrange personal meetings with
other Website / Forum users. You would be meeting a total stranger, you cannot
verify another member's age or sex, and such arrangements are inherently
fraught with risk. You do so at your own risk.
* Search the archive - it's on the cards that your subject has cropped up
before, so we recommend you search the site by using the search facility.
Forbidden Territory
Some
behaviour is unacceptable in the Website / Forum, and we will insist on the
following rules being observed at all times.
* Bad language - it isn't necessary to use bad language to make a point.
Although modern usage has seen many previously unacceptable terms become a part
of everyday conversation, there are certain words which are universally
acknowledged as being inappropriate in normal conversation. We will exercise
our right to remove any posts that (in our opinion) contain such language, and
the Website / Forum editor's decision will be final.
* 'Adult' content - references or links of an adult nature will not be
tolerated - posts or threads that contain links to 'adult' sites, text, or
images will be deleted without warning.
* Racist, sexist and pc comment - we will not tolerate racist or sexist
comments in any form.
* Libellous or defamatory comment - please do not exhort others to boycott a
company that provided you with bad service or products. Do not make statements
that you cannot substantiate, or state as fact, something which is in reality
your opinion. "Fred Bloggs Ltd took my money and ran" may well be
your opinion, but an action for libel by the company would almost certainly
succeed, and ITPP Ltd will not be held liable as the online publishers of your
comment. We aren't prepared to take such risks, and will delete any comment
that is, in our opinion, potentially libellous or defamatory, however, the
responsibility is yours and you should agree not to use our Website / Forums
for this type of comment. The editor's decision is final in such cases.
* 'Cracks' or copyright infringement - we do not permit the posting of
information that will enable other people to use pirated software or to evade
laws or copyright laws. Please do not post serial numbers or CD keys, or links
to sites that contain file-sharing software, hacks or such information.
Our
editorial policy
Our
membership is representative of all levels of the local community, and no
matter what, we will do our best to see that everyone is welcomed - no matter
what their interest, status or standing.
If
at any time you are uncertain about something, or if there is anything about Website
/ Forum conduct that you find confusing, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Use the contact form and send us an email. We'll do our best to respond
quickly, but we receive a lot of email - bear with us. We want to hear from you
if you have an idea for an improvement, or some extra content. We can't promise
to translate your ideas into action, but we'll look into every proposal or
suggestion.
