• Complaints - If you have a complaint about a person, topic or thread, please contact the admin directly stating the username, topic or thread title, reason why & evidence to support it.
  
• Chat room - All rules still apply to the chat room, please be nice and civil there - people go there to relax, not to argue.
  
• Heated debates - If you come across any posts/threads that are beginning, or have already started arguments on the forum, please contact the Admin immediately if they have not already dealt with it. Astralomia staff will not tolerate any heated debate that is beginning to get aggressive, offensive and/or stated in an attacking manner. Warnings will be sent and if continued, bans will be given.
  
• Personal affairs - These should not be brought on to the forum. They can cause grudges and/or arguments which is not what Astralomia is here for, please keep them strictly off the forum. If an argument or any kind of negativity is caused by any personal affairs you have brought to the forum, you may receive a warning. If done repeatedly you may receive a ban.

• Images - Please keep in mind that this is a friendly, family forum. Any inappropriate images, such as pornography, will be deleted as soon as they are found. If you are being sent them by another member via. PM, please tell a member of staff. Depending on the extent of the image, you will receive a friendly warning, in more extreme cases you will receive a permanent ban.
  
• Multiple Posts - Please post the topic only once, if people can help they will reply to your post. If there is more than one section you can put your post in, please post it in the one that your topic is more inclined for. If staff feel it is posted in the wrong place they can move the topic (you will be told which post, where from and where to via PM). You will be asked politely not to multi-post, if you continue to do so you will receive a warning, if still continuing, a possible ban.

• Sensitive Topics - Please be aware that certain topics may offend people, so were possible try to word the topic so people do not take offence to it. We do not allow or permit any posts encouraging or stating drug or alcohol use, or anything else illegal.
  
• Self promotion and Advertising - We will remove any sites or topics linked to this forum that encourage buying a good or service. However, if you are advertising your own website which happens to have free ads on the site (as most free forums do), this is ok so long as you are not trying to sell a good or service on the forum.
  
• Text Language - Please keep to Standard English, text and email language is hard to understand especially for those who English is a second language for. Please be more considerate when writing a post, write it out in full instead of "sk8", "w/o", etc.

Anything you say to a member of staff will be treated with confidentiality.

Thank you for reading Astralomias rules.

Remember, enjoy yourself and relax, this is a friendly forum and each person will be treated equally and with respect.
