Disordered Forum Rules

Forum Rules

1. Treat other members with the respect they deserve. This should go without saying, but treat others like you would like to be treated!

2. The forum language is English only, so please refrain from posting in other languages.

3. Do not spam. The definition of spam is an irrelevant or advertising post. Any post considered spam will be removed.

4. Please do not post (or write titles) in all capitals. This is considered to be shouting and is not necessary.

6. Please do not use red or blue text. This is reserved for administrators and moderators only.

7. Insulting, flaming, and personal attacks against forum staff will be not tolerated.

8. Please be considerate in language you use on the forum, as some of our members are younger than others. Swearing is not completely banned, but we would prefer that you not swear unnecessarily. A filter is in place to safeguard this system.

9. No hacking or illegal activity. (such as torrents and illegal downloads) this will not be tolerated, and if appropriate, may be reported to local authority.

10. Please do not post inappropriate or adult material. The policy goes that if you would not feel comfortable viewing it at work, or in front of children or parents, do not post it!

11. Eating disorders can be serious and even deadly, so we ask that under no circumstances may you put/force an eating disorder upon another member. If another member asks for encouragement, you may do so. But unless this happens you cannot make posts such as "don't eat that!", or discouraging posts such as "you'll never be thin," etc.


What happens if I break a rule?

Depending on the severity of the infraction, a different course of action may be taken, but the usual practice is as follows :

1st rule break (Minor offence):

Corrected, A PM may be sent, no further action taken

For a more serious offence, a warning will be issued. A warning is a mark against your name that lets the staff know you have broken a rule.

2nd rule break:

Second warning, depending on the severity of the offence

3rd rule break:

On your 3rd warning, you will receive a temporary ban. The length of the ban will depend on the severity of the incident.

4th (and beyond) rule break:

If you are at this stage, it is assumed you have not and will not learn your lesson, so you will receive a permanent ban. A permanent ban will not allow you to ever visit the forum again.

Thank you for taking the time to read our site rules! If you have any suggestions or questions regarding the rules, feel free to private message a staff member.
