1) Excessive swearing and/or mature content - This is essentially a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages. We will let some minor cases through, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

2) off-topic posts - Some people prefer to just read swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SFC website. Please ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved.

3) flaming/abusive threads - If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the board. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". If you don't like a post, please don't flame back - it makes our job of moderation much harder. Just report the post to a moderator and let us handle it.

4) Legal issues - This is the tricky one. Basically we'll be inclined to keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. We're not interested whether there is only a 0.00001% chance of legal action - if there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.

5) Signatures - Please keep your signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts if possible (if you must use large fonts, please use just one line), as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.

6) If posting articles or sections of articles from other sources, please post the link back to the original, and credit the authors as appropriate.

7) The moderators reserve the right to delete or move threads/posts as necessary according to the rules of this forum.

Bottom line - You're a guest on RWO, and you are expected to play by the rules of the house.

More rules to be finalised....
