As with all things, there are a few rules for this forum.
1. Grammar and Spelling - When you're posting a question, try to use your best English. We respect that English may not be your first language, but do your best. If we can understand your question easily, we can answer it faster. Also please do not use what is commonly known as text speak.
2. Don't bump - If you haven't received a reply for a few hours or even a day, please don't make another post begging for help. Some helpful members don't like to see this and won't help. Just wait patiently. If you haven't received a reply for 72 hours, you may bump your topic.
3. Be polite - If you have good manners and are not demanding support, you'll find that more members are happy to help. If you're typing ALL IN CAPITALS, chances are you'll be considered rude. If you say "Thanks in advance" rather than "Tell me how to do this", you're guaranteed to get more respect from other members.
4. Your Topic Title - When you're selecting a title for your topic, you'll find that "HELP MEEEE!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!" doesn't tell helpful members what your topic is about. Now if you use a calm, descriptive title such as "Where's the best place for a drink in Sutton Bridge?" that describes your question/problem well, things will be made easier for both you and the members trying to help you.
5. Don't! - Use profanities, racial remarks or anything that is likely to be offensive to others. You do, and you'll find you are banned.
That goes for any form of unauthorised commercial advertising. You'll find your IP will be banned.
You may use our links section to promote your loal business/charity etc... but not rubbish for a free wii fit or lotto syndicate which is basically spam.
Just enjoy yourself. Any questions, please ask.
