acceptable use - web site linking

[Kevin H]

One or two people seem to have a misconception that posts containing URLs are actively moderated, meaning they are vetted before they go live on the site. This is not the case.

Any moderation posts (including URLs therein) is done on an exception basis. Which means if I see a post on the site (or a post is 'reported' by another member) which I consider to be inappropriate it will be deleted. I do occasionally edit posts to remove email artefacts or tidy up formatting if it's really bad!

There is also an "unwanted words" list in the site admin system which contains swear words and some words relating to race which may be considered offensive. Any words that appear on this list will automatically (without human intervention) be blanked out if they appear in a post.

This is also used to exclude URL's that are breach of our "acceptable use - web site linking policy" details above.
