Aims, Policy and Complaints Procedure

Email For Jonah


Firstly, I extend a warm welcome to you all - from across the pond here in Belize. I hope you enjoy looking through the site, with its hundreds of catalogued photographs covering over 50 years of Regimental life. There are many different boards to view, from message to contact details, to fallen friends to joke boards to name just a few of the boards available for you to browse. Go in and enjoy exploring them all.

The aim of my site (in such that it has one) is to provide a useful meeting place that is both informative and amusing for people with an interest in The 1st Battalion The Royal Sussex Regiment, The 3rd Battalion The Queens Regiment and The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment. We are not competing with any Regimental Associations. Users can expect to find both reasoned argument and discussions peppered with military type banter and humour.

We especially welcome new members, all I ask is, when you make your ‘maiden post,’ please explain a little about yourself for example, your name, the unit and dates you served and so on. Should you have any photographs relating to the Regiment then please e-mail them to Les Deacon email Les Deacon it’s his job to both size and text them before I then upload them into the correct library.

MODERATOR
The site has a moderator and she/he exists to ensure that the site is managed in accordance with the policies detailed on this page. The moderator has the authority to delete or edit any message. He /she also has my authority to block any member from making further posts
Please respect the moderators' decisions, but if you have any complaints about moderation you can contact by E-mail either,

Web Master or the Site Moderator

POSTING STANDARDS.
Although we have no issues with challenging the "official" viewpoint we do not wish to bring the wrath of the authorities down upon the site.
We wish to avoid attracting those with extremist views or personal agendas to the site - for they are not welcomed on this site.

Any visitor or member who feels that a posted message is objectionable or another user is behaving inappropriately is encouraged to contact us immediately by email at Web master or Site moderator We have the ability to remove or edit objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realise that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. Any minor spats that can occasionally occur in any family unit, it’s better to reconcile these by personal E-mail and/or Skype, rather than continue to prosecute your case verbatim on the notice board.


RULES.

There are very few rules that are set in stone, just common sense and a respect for all visitors and members alike is all that’s needed.
1. You agree, through your use of the site, that you will not use it to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise vocative of any law. If you cannot type something nice about a topic, chances are, it probably isn’t worth posting it in the first place.
2. Debating and discussion is ok, we will not tolerate, insulting posts, personal attacks, rudeness or random inflammatory posts.
Rules effective wef: 12 October 2009
