Although the administrators and moderators of Talk Audio Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable
messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of
the author, and neither the owners of Talk Audio Forums, nor Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. (developers of vBulletin)
will be held responsible for the content of any message.
By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar,
sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
The owners of Talk Audio Forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
Talk Audio Basic Rules:
No abusive language towards other people
Do NOT post degrading messages about other users. This rule is NOT just for new threads, but it is also for replies. If you have something bad to say about a thread, tough luck. Don't post a reply in it and ruin it for other people. Users who abuse this rule will have their posts deleted and they may be banned.
Please also be aware that we will not tolerate personal abuse via Private Message either. If you receive an abusive PM from another user, please forward it to a Moderator.
TA is intended to be a family-friendly website and, as such, swearing is not tolerated. We do have a swear filter in place and persistent deliberate attempts to circumvent it may be met with Warning Points. Posts in the public areas should generally be safe to read for those of all ages.
Use the appropriate forum
The Moderators are not forum caretakers... they are not here to move your posts for you. Users who continually post messages in incorrect forums will be removed.
No Spamming
We do not tolerate spam. This includes trying to sell illegal copyrighted goods via the forum as well as posting rubbish for the sake of it (or to raise your post count).
Accounts signed up for the express purpose of promoting a product/website/idea/whatever will be banned immediately.
Moderator's say is FINAL
Please do not argue with the Moderators over closed, deleted or edited posts. If a Moderator has closed a post, chances are it will not be re-opened so please do not make an issue of it.
If you believe a Moderator is abusing his powers, please contact an Administrator.
Advertising & Selling Rules
No selling or advertising is permitted in any forums via posting, linking, spamming, post hijacking, avatars or signatures (new or second hand goods) The forums are for discussion and information - not as a public sales portal. If you are suspected of breaking the forum rules against trading, your account can be monitored, and action taken aginst you.
If you have items to sell or you want something specific, please use the TalkAudio Classifieds (50 posts & 30 days membership required) or eBay.
Classified items must be private sales only. Any deemed to be for commercial or trade dealing will be deleted. This is totally at the discretion of the Moderators, whose decision is final.
Please see the Classifieds Forums for the full set of Rules related to this section of TA.
Ignorance of the Rules is not an excuse
It is your responsibility to know what the Rules are. In general, you will be politely warned before any major punishments are administered, but it is down to you to read the Rules and act accordingly.
