Following recent feedback and requests, we would like to draw members attention to the following aspects of our Forum Rules:
- Members should think carefully before submitting any threads or posts that could potentially identify themselves to others. This is particularly important if the subject could provoke the interest of your present or future employers, or relevant authorities within the rail industry.
Please be aware that this forum is in the public domain. You do not have to be registered with the site in order to be able to read and browse threads, and there is a chance that any contribution could be read by someone that you don't necessarily want to read it!
We have had a number of requests in recent times to delete posts and threads that may incriminate the author in some way, be it through criticisms of an employer or by incriminating themselves in a ticketing dispute.
It will not always be possible to agree to such requests, so we ask everyone to be vigilant before they post.
- If posting an article you should put the text in QUOTE tags, provide details of the source and make a relevant comment to promote discussion.
In recent weeks some articles have been linked to but no quotation has been included we would ask going forward that people keep this rule in mind. Further we find that having quotations is of great use to our members who have to use screen readers and also for those members who regularly access the forum via mobile phones.
- Duplicate accounts are not permitted. Please contact a member of the team if you have exceptional circumstances for us to consider.
