All members of the forum must adhere to these rules of conduct, together with the rules agreed on registration.

Discrimination by means of Age, Sex, Sexuality and Race will NOT be tolerated on this forum. Offenders will have their posting privileges removed. You agreed, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violating any law. Foul or abusive language and comments are strictly against forum rules. Offenders will have their posting privileges removed.

Respect your fellow forum members. Not all forum members will share the same views as you. Where possible please try to post in a balanced and moderate tone. Please try and restrict the use of ‘internet shorthand’ where possible as many forum members do not have English as their first language and posts written entirely in abbreviations can be confusing. Accurate spelling is something many members find helpful, not only for readability but to ensure accuracy when they do a duplicate-thread check. Having said that, the major bugbear is "txt spk" - please try and avoid this!

Please do not use this forum to promote your own websites. Spamming threads will be deleted. You may post the URL to your website in your ‘signature’ only. To edit your signature, click on ‘My Controls’ and then ‘Edit Signature’.
To add an avatar to your profile click on ‘My Controls’ and ‘Edit Avatar Settings’ then follow the on screen instructions.

Before you post please have a look around the forum to see if the subject is already being discussed. If it is, please join in that discussion. Duplicate posts will be locked and then deleted. Please ensure, when posting, that you click the ‘submit’ button only once.

Please ensure that you post your subject in the correct forum. Posts about Sinead’s music should be posted in the ‘Sinead & Music’ forum, introducing yourself to new members should be posted in the ‘Member Centre’ and so on. If you post in the wrong section, your posts WILL be moved by a moderator. Persistent offenders will receive a warning, and in extreme cases will have their posting privileges removed.

Please be aware the Live Chat should be restricted to the ‘Chit-Chat’ section of the forum. Any chat threads posted elsewhere will be deleted. Please be sure to keep threads on topic. Off topic posts in topical forums cause confusion, wasted time and annoyance to fellow forum members.

In discussion forums of this nature, typing with the Caps Lock on is considered shouting. Please have respect for your fellow forum members and ensure that your Caps Lock button is OFF before you post. Posts written entirely in capital letters will be removed.

This forum is moderated by Admin and a team of moderators. If a moderator moves, deletes or edits your post please respect their position on the board. All moderators decisions are final.

If you feel that a post on the board should not be there for any of the reasons stated above, please click the ‘Report Post To A Moderator’ link at the bottom of that post and one of the team will attend to it straight away. Help us do our job by giving us a comprehensive reason as to why you object to the post.
