Posting Rules

If any rule is deemed to be broken, warning level may increase by 25%.

Moderators also have the option of banning members from individual topics.

A ban will also be implemented each time someone's warn level in increased.

25% - 3 days
50% - 5 days
75% - 7 days
100% - 1 Year

A moderator may alter the duration of a ban if it is deemed severe enough.

• A basic understanding of English, grammar and spelling is needed on the forum. It is unfair on others having to read posts with such consistent and basic errors.

Any members suffering from medical problems which effects their forum behaviour and/or posting should contact Admin under the strictest of confidence.

• Where possible, try to keep threads on topic.

• No personal attacks on other members.

• No personal accusations made against members of the forum or the wider CCFC community. Doing so will result in an outright ban.

• Off-topic posts will be edited, closed or moved without warning. Should you require an explanation, PM a mod, do not post “why was my post removed” or similar.

• Commercial posts will not be tolerated, except with the prior consent of Admin. Such posts will be deleted and user banned indefinitely.

• Harassing forum members by PM is a serious offence, and where proof exists, the offender will be banned indefinitely.
