• Keep in mind that the purpose of the footy4kids forums is to share, help and support others
• Always display a positive, friendly attitude
• Be respectful of others' opinions
• Allow your fellow members to voice their opinions
• DO NOT deliberately start arguments. Debates are great, as long as they remain respectful!
• Always try to "give" back to our community. For each time you find help or answers here at the footy4kids forums, try to help someone else out in return. You may find that what goes around comes around...
• Give people a little time to respond to your requests. There's a lot going on in these forums and it may take a little time for people to notice and respond to your request. Please be patient.
• DO NOT just make a negative statement and leave the person hanging out to dry. Although you may consider yourself to be an "expert" now, try to remember that we were all new and learning once upon a time. Take it easy on your fellow members!
• Do NOT make threats or implied threats towards other members -- even if you think it's fun.

• DO NOT Make Inappropriate or Offensive Posts - including threats, harrassment, swearing, prejudice, slander or deliberate insults/name-calling, or other negative remarks about the footy4kids forums, its moderators and administrators, or your fellow members. Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS
• Do NOT drag another member's personal site into a forum discussion unless the discussion directly involves that site OR if the member brings his or her own site into the discussion first. There's no point in ruining a good debate by accidentally (or intentionally) offending someone with a personal comment.
• DO NOT POST PORN or adult content. This also inludes sites promoting activities such as drug abuse, gambling and links to sites containing such content.
• Even though this is an international forum, please make sure that your posts are written in English.
• We want the footy4kids forums to be open to people of all ages, genders, races, and sexualities, so any inappropriate or offensive posts will be deleted

• 1st Offense - A polite Private Message from a Moderator pointing out the Forum Rules, in addition to the editing or deletion of the post
• 2nd Offense - Public warning on the message board plus deletion of post
• 3rd Offense - Moderators will discuss and possibly delete the user from the the footy4kids forums forum

Depending on the situation, the administrator (Steve, footy4kids) may bypass any and all of these steps and take whatever action is deemed appropriate.
