TO ALL OUR MEMBERS
Thanks to all our members who willingly and helpfully contribute to this forum. From time to time, however, we find members can sometimes drift off-topic on threads. As moderators, we exercise reasonable tolerance where we can, but at times the subject can drift a little too far off topic. This can make a thread less informative and can appear disrespectful to the member who first set up the thread.
There are a number of guiding principles we'd like to draw to everyone's attention. These are not new, they're embodied in the BHF Rules. The Moderator Team is committed to applying these rigorously and fairly so that everyone can continue to enjoy this forum. These principles are:
* BHF is primarily a forum to discuss Birmingham history. By exception we allow discussion about other geographical areas which are close by. We also have a General Discussion section for non-history or non-Birmingham discussion. These General Discussion threads can be closed or removed by moderators on a regular basis.
* posts on any thread must be appropriate and relevant to the thread title and subject
* non-compliant posts will be immediately removed
* moderator decisions to remove posts are final
* moderator decisions require no discussion with members
If a member becomes concerned about a thread, for whatever reason, please use the 'Report' button at the bottom of the post. We advise against attempting to resolve concerns on open forum
Thank you for taking the time to read this note.
