Personal Abuse:
Personal attacks on any member of The Chookpen will not be tolerated. Any post, which is judged by the moderators to be defamatory, degrading, threatening, humiliating, insulting or hurtful in any way to another member will be edited or deleted at the moderators' discretion.
Intolerance:
Any post which is deemed by the moderators to contain racial, sexual, religious, or any other kind of bigotry, bias, intolerance or hatred will be locked, edited or removed.
Pornography:
This is an all age site and the posting of either pornography or direct links to it are not allowed. Remember, if it isn't on open view on the shelves of a newsagents, it isn't allowed here either. This ruling also applies to avatars and signatures.
Agenda Pushing:
Agenda pushers will not be made welcome. If the staff feels that your posts are inappropriately pushy, or repetitive they will be locked, edited or removed and you will be asked to refrain from further posting on the subject.
Breaches of any of the above rules are punishable by a maximum ban of 14 days. The actual length of any ban is at the discretion of the moderating/admin team.
Repeated breaches of the rules will lead to a permanent ban. Before any such ban is implemented a poster will be given a 'final warning'. However, the moderating team reserve the right to impose an instant and permanent ban on members who seriously infringe the above rules.
Criticism:
The actions and decisions of the mod/admin team are not open for debate or criticism on the main board. Any post that questions or criticizes such decisions will be locked or deleted. If you wish to question such a decision use the PM system.
Away Fans:
1st Offence - 7 Day Ban
2nd Offence - 28 Day Ban
3rd Offence - Permanent Ban
Whilst away fans are welcome providing they behave, they will be policed on a stricter basis than Roosters fans, therefore the above rules apply to any offence.
Duplicate Accounts
Any user found to have and be using two seperate accounts pretending to be two different people will be banned without notice. This applies to all duplicated accounts that person holds.
Creation of or use of, a new account to get round any ban:
When a poster receives a ban all accounts associated with that poster will be suspended for a time equivalent to the posters original ban.
Any poster allowing their account to be used by a banned/suspended member puts their own account at risk.
Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
Advertising:
If you wish to advertise goods or services on The Chookepn we would ask you to contact a member of the Admin team in order to discuss the situation, each case will be assessed on individual basis.
