Forum Rules – Please Read

[Julian Grattidge]

Welcome to the North West Carp Forum.

The forum is intended to provide a platform for regional anglers to discuss a broad range of angling related topics in a light-hearted manner. Whilst we heartily encourage lively debate and a bit of banter, the administration team WILL NOT tolerate foul language, references or links to drug use , abusive behaviour , explicit adult material or Racist/Xenophobic statements of any nature, either in the open forums .personal profiles or via PM.

Whilst we appreciate each member’s right to voice opinion, we must also protect ourselves from potential problems arising from posts containing slanderous, libellous, or defamatory content about any individual, company, or association. Any posts deemed to contain such material will be edited or simply deleted, so we would ask all members to please bare this in mind when posting.

It has always been our intention that this forum should be openly accessible to anglers of any age, and thus our priority is to ensure that the content remains acceptable to all ages at all times. If it’s not something you would want your own child to see – don’t post it.

As most members know, there are certain clubs within the North West that have publicity bans. In the interests amicable relationships with all Angling Clubs within the region we would ask that all members please observe the rules of your chosen clubs regarding publicity bans – failure to do so could result in you losing your ticket!

Please do not post any images of cruelty to animals, drug use, abusive behaviour, explicit adult material, or racist behaviour of any kind.

Please note new members with profiles left blank or filled with obviously incorrect information will not have their membership validated.

The NWC Forum operates a 'three strikes and out' card system, whereby any user in violation of the rules will be issued with a yellow card. A second yellow card will be allowed but should any member commit third violation, a red card will be shown and the account and IP addresses terminated.

When using the Items for sale/swap section links to sites such as ebay are not allowed. Any posts containing such links will either be edited or deleted . The sale of fishing tackle and angling related items ONLY are to be sold in the forsale section and just because you watch angling DVDs on them does not make either your DVD player nor your television angling related item(s).



The Moderation & Admin Teams decision will ALWAYS be final.

As such, we would ask that you think carefully before posting material which could be deemed as unnecessarily contentious or defamatory – You have been warned!

We thank you in advance for your support in this matter and look forward to your active participation in the forums.

If you view a post on the forum that you are not happy with in any way, use the ‘report post’ facility to inform us of your concerns.

Tight Lines…
