Thanks very much Dr. Radu,
All your suggestions will be considered carefully, you are the second one suggest to suggest"- Strict rules and implementation of the rules " I will look for an enforcement office, I personal, think I'm too chilled out to go round bashing members for small misdemeanour, but I need to run this forum for members and not myself. Smeagain did mention this to me yesterday.

If anyone out there wants to be MR Enforcer please let me know.

Thanks for this post

Temi,

Here's a good start, IMHO:

In using the UKWebmasterWorld site, you agree not to:

#1 Post, publish, distribute or disseminate material or information that is defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent, threatening, abusive, harassing or unlawful.

#2 Post, publish, distribute or disseminate material or information that incites discrimination, hate or violence towards any person or group on account of their race, religion, disability, nationality or otherwise.

#3 Threaten, abuse, disrupt, stalk or otherwise violate the legal rights (including rights of privacy and publicity) of others.

#4 Use any information or material in any manner that infringes any copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary right of any party.

#5 Make available or upload files that contain a virus, worm, trojan or corrupt data that may damage the operation of the computer or property of another. :mad2:

Credit for the above rules/regulations goes to a4uforum.co.uk

I'd also like to ad, "Have thick skin" and, "Agree that some, at times, will disagree, especially when it comes to theories" :wink: And there is nothing at all wrong with a healthy debate.

Peace :thumbup:

Paul

I think most of the rules are pretty sensible.
