Member Guidelines

While we are loathe to add rules to a social website we feel that their should be guidance on how to get the best from the site and and some limitations on how you use it. This makes sense from the perspective that everyone needs a "how to" guide as well as understand the boundaries on what you can and can't do.

Boring stuff over, read on for a quick overview of using the website responsibly.

Members

There is no limitation on the username you choose to use on the website other than:

• it should not be offensive to other users
• it should not incite racial hatred
• it should be a reasonable length i.e. between 3 and 20 characters

If you are a company, business or sole trader it is perfectly acceptable to join the social network. We welcome all member types. The only thing we ask - and this is for your benefit - is that if you intend to promote your business that you make it clear in your username that you are a business e.g. applestonemusic, theciderpress, valbonnes, wheel power, simplythebike etc etc. This is beneficial to you plus other members can be clear as to who is posting. This doesn't stop you or your staff becoming personal members as well, it just means that the system is transparent to all users.
