Welcome to Airfix Modelling SIG Forum.

By signing up to these forum, you will not use the forum to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, violent, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any law.

Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself.

Political/Racist/Sexist/Religious Posts
Posts or entire threads which degenerate into such topics as listed in the above heading will not be tolerated and will be deleted immediately.

Prohibited Conduct
Violation of these rules is grounds can lead to disciplinary action being taken against the SIG member responsible.

No profanity in subject lines, posts, signatures or avatars. This includes thinly veiled attempts to defeat the word filters by using asterisks or other characters to replace letters in profane, obscene, or vulgar words.

No posting of pornographic, violent or other objectionable material in your posts, avatar or signature.

No spamming.

No flaming of other members to incite or perpetuate an argument. Personal attacks or name-calling of members of this forum by other members of this forum is not permitted.

Do not make adverse comments about other forum, web sites or individuals who are not in a position to defend themselves on this forum. If you wish make comments, then you should make them on those forum, web sites and to those individuals. The same applies to models displayed on other sites too.

Do not post personal information about others (i.e. addresses, phone numbers, passwords, etc.). You should also be wary of posting such information about yourself too.

Copyright
If you own the copyright of material then you can post it.

If you have permission to post material for which you do not own the copyright, then you can also post it.

If you do not have permission, then do not post the material until permission is granted from the copyright holder to use it. Post a link to the picture instead. This includes pictures of models/box-art etc shown on other modelling sites and online shops!

Material which are regarded as public domain (i.e. copyright has expired or has been removed) can also be posted. BTW, a picture found on the Internet does not automatically make it public domain. In these cases, please state that fact in your post and state the source of the photo.

These rules also apply to pictures on this forum. They cannot be used elsewhere without the permission of the owners of the pictures.

Colour of Text
Please use the default of normal black text on this forum. Not everybody has perfect eyesight or perfect colour perception. Using different colours to black can be very troublesome when reading. You may, however, use colour and/or italics for emphasis.

Text Speak
Do not use Text Speak on this forum. It is not necessary and can be hard for some people to understand. So, please make posts in good, clear English. Be sure to spell correctly otherwise it may not be possible to retrieve posts via the search facility!

Grammar
Please ensure your posts are grammatically correct, correctly spelt, and contain punctuation. This is for the benefit of all members, in particular, those members for whom English is a second language.

Topics And Forums
Please try to make an effort to post your messages to the correct forum. Message in the wrong forum will be moved, or deleted. Also, cross-posts and double-posts will be deleted too. Make sure that your post has a meaningful title such as "Advice wanted on how to ... " . Just putting "Help" is actually not very helpful at all.

When posting in an existing thread, do not change the title! Also, do not hijack a thread but make a new one instead. If a thread needs splitting, then ask a member of the Moderation Team or myself to do so.

When you have made your post, please wait patiently for a reply. Remember that people do not sit at their PC's twenty-four hours a day waiting to answer posts. It is also bad form to follow-up your own posts asking why no one has answered yet.

When your post has been answered, do not then ask a different question in the same thread but start a new thread.

When quoting somebody else's post, only quote that part of the post that is relevant and change any images to links instead. This not only helps those members on slow connections, but is standard netiquette - the conventions that should be followed on Usenet, mailing lists, live chat, and Internet forums.

Do not insert blank lines under your post to "fill it out" but only include content. If you feel the need to have more of a space between your post and your signature then by all means use your signature for the blank lines - subject to the rules on signatures below.

Signatures and Avatars
No pictures or banners are to be used in signatures and they will be deleted immediately. Signatures themselves can be no more than 255 characters in length (admins are unlimited). This is set by the forum hosts, not this site owner! Signatures should also be no more than five lines deep, including any blank lines.

Avatars should be no bigger that 80x80 pixels in dimension and normal copyright rules apply. Avatars not meeting these requirements will be deleted without warning. Repeated breaches of these rules will lead to the avatar facility being removed from the member's profile.

E-Mail Account
You must have a valid e-mail account in your profile so a forum administrator can reach you. If you cannot be reached by email, you may be suspended without notice. New members who provide a false email address on registration will have their account deleted.

Private Messaging
Private Messaging (PM) has been enabled on this forum and is just for that - private messaging. Anyone found using this system for spamming other members will have their PM facility removed.

The Airfix Tribute Forum.
The ATF have graciously agreed to host the SIG forum. Members of the SIG forum have the benefit of belonging to the ATF forum and can post there. When posting on the ATF, you must abide by their rules and guidelines - link.

Please abide by these rules. They are there, after all, to ensure the smooth running and continuing success of the forum.

Thank you.
Rich
Airfix Modelling SIG Leader.
