READ FIRST – Forum Rules

Here are the Forum Rules, which are largely in line with the Rules of our facebook group. There are two big differences, though:
1 – Your online Fanderson account is your gateway to the Forum and other club services (eg, the exclusive merchandise in our Shop).
2 – If you forfeit access to the Forum (eg, for bad behaviour and/or contravening any of our Group Rules) you will also lose your online access to the Shop. We will continue to mail FAB etc as part of your membership until it expires.

By posting in the Forum you are accepting our Group Rules.

KINDNESS AND RESPECT
We’re all here because we’re fans of the work of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and their amazing colleagues – so let’s treat one another with kindness, respect and as if we’re talking face-to-face.

OPINIONS WELCOME
We don’t all share the same interests and likes, but we’re all entitled to our opinion. So, it’s fine to disagree, for example to say “I don’t enjoy xxxxx because…..” but not to make it personal, like “You’re stupid because you enjoy xxxxx”.

UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR
Inflammatory, aggressive, political, degrading or insulting posts will be deleted, and the poster will be removed from the group. To report a post – email fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com

KEEP IT CLEAN
Ensure that what you write is suitable for anyone to read, including children (use language appropriate to the broadcasting watershed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watershed_(broadcasting)).

ANDERSON ENTERTAINMENT
Due to an ongoing legal dispute, posts promoting the activities, products, services and/or officers of Anderson Entertainment (including re-posts/shares) will be deleted.

STAND BY YOUR WORDS
Any post you make is attributable solely to you (so keep your log-in details confidential), and the club accepts no responsibility for what is being said in your name. And don’t forget to credit the author or artist of work you’re posting about.

SPOILERS
Spoilers can be good, as they signpost people to films/programmes they might not otherwise see. However, posts that give away major plot points (even of non-Anderson productions) will be deleted and repeat offenders will be removed.

ADMINS AND MODERATORS
Admins and Moderators (see About > Members > Admins and Moderators) may remove posts/members that are against the spirit of the club, that include club membership information, or for any other reason.

DATA PROTECTION
To comply with data protection legislation, posts that relate to club membership or contain personal information will be deleted. Please email fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com to discuss your membership or any concerns.

TRADING ANDERSON ITEMS
Group members are welcome to trade items, but any trading is entirely between the parties concerned. Fanderson is not responsible and has no involvement in trading (other than providing the platform (via Facebook) for people to make contact).
