Respect for Others
•    Debate ideas, not people.
•    No personal attacks, insults, name‑calling, or attempts to belittle other posters.
•    Treat all users, players, club staff and moderators with courtesy.
•    If you can’t be civil, this isn’t the right place for you.

Zero Tolerance for Hate or Abuse
•    No racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory content.
•    No harassment, threats, bullying, or intimidation of any kind.
•    Respect everyone’s identity and avoid posting anything that could reasonably be considered harmful or offensive.

Keep Discussions Clean and Suitable for All Ages
•    No swearing or attempts to bypass filters (e.g., kn0b, d******d, tw@t).
•    Avoid profane, explicit, or distasteful language.

Stay On Topic and Contribute Constructively
•    Keep posts relevant to the discussion and to rugby.
•    No spamming, flooding, or repetitive posting.
•    No trolling, baiting, or posting purely to provoke reactions.
•    If you see trolling, report it rather than responding.

Privacy and Personal Information
•    Do not share personal information about yourself or others, including names, addresses, workplaces, or contact details.
•    Private messages must remain private unless all parties agree to share them.

No Advertising or Promotion
•    No selling, soliciting, or advertising products or services unless explicitly approved by the admin.
•    No disguised promotions, crypto schemes, or unrelated commercial content.

Legal and Safety Obligations
•    Do not post anything illegal or encourage illegal activity.
•    Some topics may be closed for legal reasons; if comments are disabled on a story or subject, do not attempt to discuss it elsewhere on the forum.

Respect for Staff and Moderators
•    Moderators’ decisions are final.
•    We may remove posts, modify posts,  restrict accounts, or ban users who break the rules.
•    We cannot debate individual moderation decisions.
•    Repeated or serious violations may lead to permanent bans.

Ratings and Reporting
•    Use ratings responsibly; misuse may lead to restrictions.
•    Report rule‑breaking content, but do not use the report function to target people you simply disagree with.
•    Malicious reporting may result in sanctions.

AI‑Generated Content
•    If you use AI tools to help write a post, please say so.
•    A simple note such as “Generated with AI” or “Drafted using Copilot/ChatGPT” is enough.
•    This helps others understand the context and evaluate the information.

Contacting the Site
•    The comments section is not the place for story corrections, complaints, or editorial queries.
•    Use the appropriate contact channels for those issues. Message Admin from the Additional Info menu.

If you follow these rules, you’ll help keep the forum a lively, friendly, and respectful place for rugby discussion.
