Communicating with others in the Network

The use of SCotLaNd Forum

• Please do feel free to express your opinions, but respect those of others.
• Please be courteous in all your posts. Language deemed to be personally offensive will be censored and/or the posts removed. This may lead to suspension of your account.
• Please keep all posts on-topic.
• Please do not pretend to be/represent somebody else. Your membership will be deleted if found to be in breach of this rule.
• Please do not discuss illegal activities. Our server is hosted in the UK and is subject to English law. Please do not expose us to any unnecessary legal liability.
• If you have a question, please check that it has not been answered anywhere else on the site. Use the search feature.
• Please post your comment/question to the most appropriate place. Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places.

• Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source. Plagiarism is unethical and is illegal in many countries.
• Please choose an appropriate subject line. Try to summarise the issue briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message itself. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer. Do not use all capital letters and do not add false information just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be arrested;). Do not use a web link as a thread title.
• Thank those who help you. Acknowledgement of a helpful suggestion not only placates those who helped you, it may also help others with a similar problem. All those who have been helped on this forum are invited to help other users by responding to their questions when they have a useful perspective.
• Do not link to any site that contains adult content, sexually oriented material or might otherwise be considered offensive. Any post containing an inappropriate link will be deleted and the poster will receive a warning.
• Do not propose/link to any site that contains copyrighted software/materials that can be downloaded illegally.
