Forum Rules

We know, nobody likes rules and regulations, myself included. However experience tells me that some guidelines are a necessity in order to run a community smoothly. With that in mind, it's important that you read the following:

By becoming a member and posting on the forums at ukvapers.com you agree to adhere to the following rules.

1. To be a member here you must be aged 18 or over. By registering for an account you are confirming that you are at least 18 years of age.

2. Moderation is light but not non-existant - we reserve the right to modify or delete posts at any time and any decision taken by a staff member is final.

3. Be civil - try to treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself. Personal attacks of any nature will not be tolerated.

4. You are permitted to hold one account only. Should you decide to leave UK Vapers your posts and account will not be deleted. We will delete your account at your request only if requested by both private message and via the email address your account is registered under. Your posts however will not be removed - by posting here you give license to ukvapers.com to use and display your content. There are no exceptions to this.

5. The discussion of illegal activities is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of illegal drugs.

6. Though a last resort, we reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules.

7. Please post using the English language only. The owner of ukvapers.com is not multilingual and hence it would be impossible to monitor forum activity in any language other than English.

8. Affiliate links in signatures are not permitted and will be removed. There will be one thread provided where anyone with an affiliate discount code may post, however that is the only place affiliate links / codes are permitted.

Vendors - suppliers and others with a commercial interest

You will be placed under the Vendor membership category if you are a supplier, manufacturer, affiliate or have any other vested commercial interest related to personal vapourisers (electronic cigarettes).

1. If you have any commercial interest in the personal vapouriser (electronic cigarette) industry, you must notify the administrator via private message. Failure to do so may result in the removal of your account. You will be placed in a special usergroup which adds a small graphic to your profile, this graphic will notify other members that you have a commercial interest.

2. Currently commercial members have the same posting rights as regular members and are not restricted to certain areas of the forum (with one exception, you may not post new threads in the Classifieds forum). However please use common sense and discretion when responding to threads or posts, and remember that direct advertising is not permitted.

3. The Vendors News forum is a place where you may post about your products and special offers. You will be unable to post new threads there until you're a member of the Vendors usergroup. Again, please use discretion - one or two posts a week is fine, several posts per day is not.

4. Advertising anywhere apart from in the Vendors News forum without prior arrangement is absolutely forbidden and is considered to be spam. Spamming will not be tolerated, whether via forum posts, private messages or emails to members and will be instantly removed. Repeat offenders (and obvious spam bots) will have their accounts terminated.

5. You are permitted one single link in your signature which points to your business website. If there is more than one link present your signature will be edited by a member of staff.

All of the above is subject to change at any time. A community is not a static entity and our rules will reflect that. If the rules change at any time a post will be made below informing members that there have been changes.

If you are unsure whether the content of your post is likely to break the rules, please contact the administrator, Jackie, before posting to the forums.

If you do not agree to these rules or future changes / additions, you may request deletion of your account. The owners will not however, in accordance with the above, remove any messages already posted under your account and said posts will still have your account name attached to them.
