Rules... nobody likes them but they are there for a reason. We only have 5 of them here, but if you stick to them then things should run smoothly and everyone will be happy:
You must not pretend to be someone you are not. Signing off messages with someone else’s name is an abuse of the forum.
Personal attacks on anyone, whether known to you in person or not, are unacceptable.
If someone takes personal offence at something you post, please try to justify your message in a subsequent post. Afterwards, do not enter into a public argument or descend into insults or personal attacks.
Light-hearted banter and ‘in-jokes’ between friends are perfectly acceptable. If these do not concern you, please do not jump to the conclusion that somebody is seeking to cause offence.
Respect other people’s right to an opinion. If it differs from yours, it is not necessarily wrong. Again, if you think someone is setting out to cause offence, do not retaliate; report it to Forum Admin using our email address: luu.lgbt@leeds.ac.uk
