Introduction
300ZX.CO.UK provides an interactive forum on the web for the club members and visitors. The forum is run by club members on a voluntary basis. One consequence of its widespread appeal is that everything published is seen by thousands of people around the world. This means we have a duty of care that the content of the forums are legal and of a good and decent nature. This is where the forum moderators provide an important role.
What are Moderators?
Moderators are here to monitor and if necessary edit, move, lock or delete posts in order to protect the short and long term good of the 300ZX.CO.UK club. The Moderators are active members of the club and give up their own time on a voluntary basis to support the forum. Moderators follow a strict set of guidelines which place the interests of the 300ZX.CO.UK club as the primary focus.
When a post is moved, edited, locked, deleted by the Moderators it should not be regarded as a direct or personal attack on a particular individual. It will be as a result of the guidelines given below putting the 300ZX.CO.UK club first, over any individual's personal ideals.

What is "potentially libelous"?
Libel is a very complicated part of the law. The general concept is that anything that cannot be proved by hard fact which could be considered damaging to a company or individual may be libelous.
What may be considered to be potentially libelous is something where the above applies and 300ZX.CO.UK itself does not have the hard facts to prove without doubt that what is being said is accurate.
Due to legal complications that 300ZX.CO.UK could be considered liable for libelous comments posted by users, we have to show a continued and consistent practice of due-diligence which protects us against potential legal action.
This means deleting / editing posts containing this kind of material and taking every action reasonably possible to stop it being posted in the first place. For this reason, ANY potentially libelous content may be deleted immediately without warning or explanation.
Commercial posts
Commercial Posts may be locked or removed if posted in any forum other than the Traders Forums. A commercial post is defined as any post by employees or their associates that benefits either, directly or indirectly the company involved.
Please use your common sense, and be respectful and decent to people and companies.
