PORTAL RULES AND GUIDELINES

In order to keep our SMKSH portal enjoyable and interesting for all of our members and viewers, we ask simply that you follow these minimal rules and etiquette:

• Contributions must be civil and polite. Our purpose is to share, help and support each other
• Before posting a new topic, please check to see if there is already a topic (or thread) open on the subject. Do not start new threads unnecessarily
• Be respectful of others’ opinions
• Do not call each other insulting names (e.g. stupid/idiot/cacat) – even if you think it’s fun
• Offensive language and behaviour and the use of foul language/swearing is strictly prohibited
• Avoid unlawful or objectionable content e.g. defamatory, abusive, threatening, obscene, sexually-oriented, racially or religiously offensive material
• No SHOUTING. Remember, using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in posts is considered yelling and rude, plus it is difficult to read
• Do not impersonate or pretend to be someone else
• No spamming
• The principal reserves the right to ban any member contravening the SMKSH portal rules and regulations

Please note that these rules also apply to the Shoutbox.
