Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant

No defamatory comments. A defamatory comment is one that is capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation. If successfully sued you could be held liable for considerable damages and costs.
Avoid contempt of court which means not posting anything that risks prejudicing on-going or forthcoming court proceedings.
Do not incite people to commit any crime, including incitement of racial hatred.
Do not post content which you've copied from someone else and don't own the copyright.
Do not post messages that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, homophobic or racially offensive.
Do not make multiple postings. So that we can publish comments from as many different people as possible, participants should keep their number of contributions per debate to a reasonable level. Multiple posts from one individual, or small number of individuals, discourages many others who might otherwise wish to take part.

No advertising, promotion of products or services, or posting of web links (URLs).

Post in English only. Posts containing languages other than English may be removed. Common greetings and salutations in languages other than English may be acceptable.
