Community Rules & Terms of Service
These rules & terms will be updated as required, and we will usually announce when this happens, but no guarantee is provided to this effect, and it's the responsibility of users to check the rules & terms during the course of their interactions with the community.
Community Rules
The following are the rules for all users of the forum. These are designed to establish a safe and fun community atmosphere, and while we have attempted to cover as many possibilities as we can, there will be times when action has to be taken that isn't covered. By signing up or otherwise using the community you are expressly agreeing to these rules.
No Hate Speech or Bullying/Harrassment
Anybody found to be using hate speech, or engaging in bullying/harassing behavior of any kind against individuals or groups, will be immediately removed from the forum. This includes but is in no way limited to those behaviours listed below
- Racism
- Sexism
- Transphobia
- Homophobia
Political Content
There's enough political discussion out there on the Internet as it is, while it's not flat out banned, it's highly discouraged, and posts/replies of a political nature will be given less latitude when it comes to enforcing the rules. Basically, if a political post shows even a hint of becoming hostile then it will be removed.
No adult content
Users may not post adult content in any form. Any content of that nature will be immediately deleted, and repeat occurrences may result in the user account being suspended or deleted
No ad hominem attacks or other disruptive behaviour
Attacking a person themselves during a debate/discussion serves no legitimate purpose, other than to escalate it to an unconstructive situation. To try and avoid having to delete entire posts/threads these will be deleted. If you feel so strongly that a discussion shouldn't be taking place, or are otherwise concerned about its content, then please flag it and it will be reviewed according to the site rules.
Other disruptive behaviour such as arguments that serve no constructive purpose will also be removed at the discretion of the administrators & moderators.
No pirated or other illegal content
We're aware that there are various resources out there where relevant content can be obtained free of charge, but these are not licensed. We strongly believe in supporting the Estate as much as possible, and any links of that nature will be removed.
It should go without saying that any other illegal content will be immediately deleted. We also reserve the right to report to and/or cooperate with law enforcement agencies in severe cases.
No selling or promotion of commercial interests
This forum is not the place to sell items, or promote businesses/commercial interests. Any such posts will be deleted. Limited exceptions to this rule are below
- Official products directly from The Terry Pratchett Estate/Dunmanifestin Ltd. & Narrativia
- Promotion of Discworld books & merchandise available from commercial entities that have the required license from The Terry Pratchett Estate/Dunmanifestin Ltd., Narrativia etc...
Admin & Moderator Discretion
It's not possible to consider every eventuality in a written set of rules, so the admins & moderators will need to act with their own discretion in keeping the community safe and stable. Actions of this nature will be discussed and where appropriate will lead to the rules being amended
