The forum team is here to deal with illegal/abusive/offensive posts that are reported to abuse@penaltycharges.co.uk ("abuse@penaltlycharges.co.uk) either directly or by clicking on the report an abuse icon in each post. If you report a post/thread please remember the following:
1) Please be patient. Some issues reported require discussion with other members of the PC team before action can be taken. In some cases this can take several days. Repeatedly emailing and asking what’s been done causes the team additional work and only serves to delay action.
2) Several thousand posts are made on this forum each day. None of the Board Guides, Forum Team or PC Team, especially stephen, are able to read every single post. Please assume they have NOT seen it rather than have.
3) The motto “Please be nice to other members” includes all site users. Starting an abuse report saying “I can’t believe you haven’t removed this” is not polite and will not win you any plaudits.
4) Neither the Board Guides, Forum Team or PC Team (again not even stephen!) are on the site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Night-owls reading the site at 3am on a Saturday morning should not expect a response before Monday. If you do get one before then, consider it a bonus!
5) Removal of forum users’ posting privileges is not taken lightly. No payment is asked from you to use this site therefore our first consideration must be towards protecting the site from increased cost and legal challenge. Posting on penaltycharges.co.uk is a privilege not a right and we can refuse permission to post without giving a reason.
6) For clarity, Posting Privileges Removed will sometimes be abbreviated to PPR
We are not required to justify our actions externally. As long as stephen and the Web Manager are satisfied that the agreed criteria are being followed, the action taken by the forum team can be considered final and appropriate.
