Rules
SAFC-World Terms & Rules
SAFC-World is meant to be an enjoyable site for anyone to use, but we still have to apply rules so everyone can enjoy their stay here. We've previously taken the lenient stance on offences, but it led to inconsistency so we have decided to implement some rules to the site, with obvious punishments.
Pointless Replies
If you have no comment to make on a thread which has been made then please just leave it this way. Do not reply with a smilie face or a one word answer as this just annoys people and we will delete your post.
Abusive Language
We all know theres someone out there that really annoys you or gets on your nerves, well dont turn to abusive language as this will only lead you into serious trouble. We will not tolerate abusive language towards other forum members in any shape or form so be aware. We do understand that swearing is a big part of the culture in this day and age and we will only tolerate swearing in mild proportions.
Racism
We are active supporters of the "Show Racism the Red Card" and will not tolerate racism of any kind on the board. Anyone posting what we deem to be racial abuse will be banned for life.
Advertising Your Website
This is a big NO-NO. You wouldn't like someone from this site to advertise on your website so we don't expect others to do it to us. If you are found doing this you will be instantly banned.
"Txt-tlk"
Text-talk, posting in a way which you would send a text message, is not tolerated. There is no limit of the number of characters used in a post, so don't try to limit the typing as you would in a text message. Persistent offenders will be punished.
