Board Rules Not606 is growing in numbers across most boards which inevitably means the potential for disruption to our board, to add to this concern it is possible for other boards to create a ‘cross board thread’ in an attempt to draw a reaction from the other teams board. Canary Dave & Thai Canary, the current moderators on this board have agreed we need to put in place some guidelines with regards to the behaviour of our fans (who in the main are no problem) and visiting fans (again, who in the main are no problem). While we have no intention of re-creating a BBC 606 style of moderating we do believe we need to draw a line to indicate what is acceptable and more importantly, what is not acceptable. Basic standards for us has to involve levels of respect for others and the need to avoid personal insults with particular regard to our human differences on gender, age, race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation; and religious and/or political beliefs. Furthermore, Canary Dave & Thai Canary have both pledged to set an exemplary example for all to follow and make you proud. In conclusion, we have agreed the following:- Swearing Not606 is a public forum and has many people from different walks of life. Some more articulate than others and can get their point across without using swearing, however swearing is a feature that is permitted on Not606 and we recommend if you do not wish to see such language, you change your settings accordingly. If you do not know how to change these settings please contact Canary Dave & Thai Canary and we will advise. Banter General banter is fine but trading insults is not. Any thread created on the Norwich City board that descends in to insulting posts will be locked. The protagonist(s) will receive a private message warning them about their future conduct. In the case of a visitor to our board, we will send their board moderator a private message issuing a similar warning about his/her board member. Wums (Wind Up Merchants) Wumming is not banter, it is intended to provoke an over-reaction from other supporters. Its sole purpose is to antagonise other fans. How you as individuals deal with such attacks we will leave to your own judgement, up to a point. It is better to ignore them, soon they will get bored and disappear. However, once it becomes an insult war the thread will be locked. The protagonist(s) will receive a private message warning them about their future conduct. In the case of a visitor to our board, we will send their board moderator a private message issuing a similar warning about his/her board member. Where a visiting supporter creates a significant number of WUM threads and/or posts (which will be determined by Canary Dave & Thai Canary), we will send that member’s moderator a message warning them about their future conduct. If that member persists then he/she will be banned from this board. Inserted Pictures We are happy for members to include pictures, DVD Clips etc on to the board providing they are not of a sexual nature. We will remove such pictures and message the poster warning them about their future conduct. If you create a link to a picture, DVD clip etc that does contain material of a sexual nature then you must issue a warning of the content. Failure to do so will result in the link being removed and a warning will be issued to the member that posted the link. Ignorance is no excuse If any member, Norwich City fan or visiting fan does not read these rules/guidelines and is in breech of them, the fact they did not read this will not be accepted as an excuse or reason. We also advise you read these rules on a regular basis for two reasons. 1. To get better acquainted with them/refresh your memory. 2. To check for any updates that may cover issues not previously identified. If you have any questions please contact either or both of us. Finally - enjoy the board! Canary Dave & Thai Canary
