A.M.I.T FORUM RULES

[shangri la 1]

Registration
 A.M.I.T. (A Mark In Time) Forum is free to Join. You are able to view the Forum messages without registering, but you will need to register if you want to actively take part in any existing discussion topics or start new ones. By registering, you agree to the rules and policies listed here below.

Moderation
The A.M.I.T. Forum is a "post moderated" forum, which means that the Administrators/Moderator Editors will review messages after they are placed in the Forum by our registered users/members. Any messages /topics that are deemed to not meet the guidelines of the A.M.I.T. Administration may be edited or totally removed at our Editor/Moderator’s discretion. Continued instances from individual users/members being contrary to this policy may raise the prospect of that user/member being warned or banned at the discretion of the Administrator/Moderators.

Distasteful or Offensive material
A.M.I.T. Forum administrators and moderators will make every effort to keep distasteful material off the forum, but need the co-operation, of all our user/members to achieve this. If you find offensive material on the Forum, please report it by clicking on the repot to moderator pertaining to the particular post. It can be found near the bottom of each post:-
Thus:-                           
Report to moderator    Logged
 This policy will work towards keeping the A.M.I.T. Forum running smoothly and more enjoyable for all. Neither A.M.I.T. nor Simple Machines will be held responsible for the content of any message.


Inflammatory-postings and flame-baiting
A trend which has emerged in other forms on the internet is “flame-baiting” sic:- http://searchsoa.techtarget.com/definition/flamebait. A.M.I.T’s group of editors have discussed this in relationship to our forum, and to prevent it from happening here, are instigating a warning/banning sequence which will complement the discretionary powers already available to them if they believe this is happening here. Editors will be keeping a look-out for any instances which contravene any of our rules, and also ask that members who feel that they have an issue with another member’s post that they use the “Report to moderator   ” function which is located at the bottom of each post.

Discretion/Respect
Use discretion when posting a message. This forum is read by many Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits/Notting Hillbillies fans from around the world daily, so what you say will be seen and read by many people. Please keep it civil, and always respect Mark and his band members, family and his associates. All UN-solicited discussions that are deemed by the Administrators/Moderators, to venture too far into Mark and or his band members' private personal/family matters will be considered inappropriate and promptly removed from the A.M.I.T. forum.

Expectations of all Members and Administrators
When we register to be a user/member of A.M.I.T. forum, we agree that we will not post any messages or topics that are threatening, hateful, obscene, vulgar, inflammatory, disrespectful or in violation of any laws/codes of conduct. In other words: - Be nice when you visit. Respect other user/ members, and all of the Administrators/moderators. Personal, attacks, Inflammatory-postings and stirring, will not be tolerated. Treat everyone here the way you expect to be treated yourself.

Nicknames/tags/Signatures
Nicknames, tags and signatures that are considered to be inflammatory, rude, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate will be deleted.


Discussions/Topics
Please try to keep your messages “on” the appropriate topic and “in” the appropriate category. It’s easy for passionate discussions to go off in many different directions. If any discussion begins to change markedly from its original context, we ask that you please continue with it, but, start it over as a new discussion (in a different Topic/Category if need be). A.M.I.T. reserves the right to close down/lock and or remove/re-locate discussions that veer too far away from the original Topic or Category.
