Rules and guidelines, don't you hate them? But we all need them.
The rules of this board are simple.
1) Be nice, be fair. Respect others' opinions and their right to them. Posts of a disrespectful, threatening
and/or abusive nature will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned from our little piece of Sennacharib forever!
2) No deliberate "flaming", "baiting" or "sledging". No personal attacks. As that corny Thumper quote goes (from the 1942 Bambi flick): "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all". Consider your wording. The pen can sometimes appear mightier than the sword, so use it responsibly. Those who deliberately post messages to cause trouble or bait others into heated arguments are not welcome and will be banned.
3) Remember to please quote your sources when using someone else's information. Same rule applies when posting photos.
4) Spoilers are permitted, but it is suggested that you type "WARNING: This message contains a plot spoiler!" in the first line of your post.
5) Feedback and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated! There is a place on the board for this purpose, or you can PM the Moderator privately.
6) Enjoy this board and have fun, educate others by stealth, and learn new things.
7) Vote in our online poll. This is of course not obligatory and is entirely confidential, but the expectation is implied! ;D
New rule added 2 April, 1010.
8) If anyone joins this forum with the sole intention of profiting from another member's copy, this will be deemed unacceptable and will result in the member being instantly banned. Let me make it perfectly clear, this is a not-for-profit forum. From now on, if any members wish to promote sales of videos or dvd's that are listed on 3rd party sites they must do so OUTSIDE of this forum. This rule applies to ALL members, not just the new ones. It is okay if a member simply wants to watch a copy, but we are not a company and we function on the ethos of a non-profit, fan club. We are not in the business of promoting sales of copies of Diana for individuals!
It seems that given the rarity of this series, there are bound to be unscrupulous people out there who are not really interested or passionate about the series, but who will want to take advantage of our good intentions and turn a profit. If anyone wishes to attempt to make money out of the series, they must do so outside of this forum.
Anyone who has copies available should at least post an introduction up first, instead of just launching straight into a sale's pitch. A private message to the administrator is also required before posting any messages relating to sales of the Diana series. And this will have to be on a non-profit basis. The only reason why we even speak about copies of Diana on this forum is because it seems that the BBC are never going to release it for us. It has become the only way for people to see the series again and to relive the experience.
