House Rules

[Admin]

Your screen name and profile

Screen names should be clear and cannot contain any spaces. Don't use your email address as a screen name as everyone will be able to see it. You should also not use swear words or any other offensive language.

You can not have multiple profiles. If you are found to have more than one profile you will be removed and your profiles will be deleted.


A little respect...

When using our forum, please respect the views and beliefs of other people. Learning disability can be an emotional subject, and something people feel strongly about. If we see any discussions or messages that are aggressive or disrespectful to others we will remove them. We will also remove posts that use bad language.

No bullying here!

We don't tolerate disabilist bullying, or any other kind of intolerance like racism, homophobia or ageism. Do not use threatening or abusive language - if someone has offended you in anyway you must report them to Mencap and not enter into an argument with them.

Don't advertise or promote

This forum is not for commercial organisations to advertise or promote their products or services. We will delete posts that have this type of information.
Reporting a post

If you think that someone is being offensive, or breaking the house rules of the forum, you can contact us using the 'Report this post' link. We will try to deal with these messages as quickly as possible.


We will ban people who continue to break the rules

We take our house rules seriously. They are in place to protect our users and create a supportive environment.

We will send you a message if we feel your post needs to be changed, or someone has reported what you have written. If the problem is minor, we will allow up to two warnings. Any more then two warnings, we will delete your profile and ban you from using the forum.

Any serious offence will result in an immediate ban and the deletion of your posts.
