Edition 38 Forum Guidelines

Please abide by the following guidelines, and above all, respect people. Our shows have a friendly atmosphere, and we insist on the same for our forum!

The General Guidelines

  • We request, where possible, that you use a photo of your face on your avatar, thankyou!
  • Please post in the correct section. Posts made in the wrong place may be deleted without warning.
  • We LOCK all offensive threads without warning.
  • We reserve the right to remove users at will and without warning or negotiation.
  • Don't hijack other peoples posts.
  • Only Edition 38 advertisers are permitted to advertise their site or services in their signature space, non-advertising members found to be doing this may have their user accounts removed with little, or no warning.
  • Only Edition 38 advertisers may post group buys on the forum. We understand that sometimes there are special circumstances, and a private user has managed to secure a group buy deal - please ask the moderators before posting.
  • If you would like more information about advertising with edition 38, please email us at advertising@edition38.com
  • If you are posting for your (profit-making) company or organisation WITHOUT pre-approved permission, it will be removed without warning. This site exists without charge to the forum members for their enjoyment, not for you to take advantage of the sites members by barraging them with adverts.
  • For the most part we dont accept 'naming and shaming' posts, or posts in derogatory nature against any individual or company, as often these posts are one-sided, and dont include all the facts, and as such, are often unfair. if you have been really wronged, and you have a legible claim, you can do so with the proper authorities, such as the police or small claims court. if it is something that you feel is going to protect our forum users by announcing, please contact us first.
  • NSFW : Not Safe For Work : Adult Content = please dont post it, its a family show, and a family site! (this goes for avatars, signatures, the lot!) Keep it clean!!!!
  • Swearing... please dont!
  • The 'Edition 38' logo is protected by copyright, so please do not reproduce or use it without express permission.


Classified Guidelines

  • 'Classifieds' is for PRIVATE sellers ONLY, not commercial suppliers or entrepreneurs.
  • Edition 38 takes no responsibility for any deals/transactions done from adverts or contacts from our site. The autojumble can be used to sell almost anything legal, but we ask that things of an adult nature, including weaponry do not be advertised.
  • Please do not post ebay items, these will be deleted.
  • Please be sure to post up prices for your item. You must know what you want to get for the item, so say it. For example '£100', '£100 no offers', or '£100 or near offers'. Items posted without values may be deleted without notice.
  • Please do not post 'feelers'. If you aren't sure whether to sell something, you probably don't want to sell it. If you're not sure if youll get what you want - post it up with what you want for it and find out.
  • If you can't visit the forum at least a couple of times a week, please don't use the classifieds.
    • Please only sell items that are yours to sell - if you're selling on behalf of someone else, get them to register their own account.
  • If you're not interested in buying, don't post.
  • If you are found to be ignoring any of these guidelines, you will be warned, and may be permanently prevented access to the classifieds forum.
  • Anyone found to be irresponsible as a trader or buyer will be permanently prevented access to the classifieds forums.



How the 'Warning System' works:

Everytime a user crosses a guideline - we issue the user a warning. Warnings are kept track of, and forum suspensions (complete inability to access the forum) are handed out an an ascending fashion.

1st Warning: 1 day suspension.
2nd Warning: 7 day suspension.
3rd Warning: 14 day suspension.
4th Warning: 28 day suspension.
5th Warning: 1 YEAR suspension.

Suspended users found creating new accounts will have their new accounts closed, and their main account suspension lengths restarted. (you got 14 days, your 14 days starts again).
