<font class="content">Hi,
Thanks for taking time to read our rules for the forum. These are designed to make the forums a noce place to chat and get in touch with others so please abide by them for the sake of the user community.
[b:fcca34641f]1) Be Nice / Polite [/b:fcca34641f]
This is a family forum, so please keep in clean and inoffensive. Respect other peoples right for different opinions and avoid bad language.
[b:fcca34641f]2) Be Helpful [/b:fcca34641f]
We can't make you, but if you look through the forums and help others, you'll get a nice warm feeling inside. What goes around comes around, so you'll be more likely to get help from others when you need it.
[b:fcca34641f]3) Be Clear [/b:fcca34641f]
Please avoid the use of 'text mesage' style abbreviations and other forms of web based 'slang'. Viva-Granada enjoys a wide demographic of users and we want to encourage everyone to join in. By keeping your posts clear and simple, you help us achieve this.
[b:fcca34641f]4) No Advertising or Public Recommendations.[/b:fcca34641f]
Advertising your property, goods or services clogs up the forum. Is's a message board for getting in touch with and helping others. Please don't post adverts. Any we spot will be deleted. If you spot any, please let us know (send me a private message by clicking the 'PM' icon below, treated in confidence) and we'll delete it.
Recommendations for companies is also considered advertising. This is not allowed in public posts but feel free to recommened whoever and whatever you like in a private message.
Also, please respect that we run a directory service with free and paid listings to fulfill this need. Hey, we're just a small company and need to havce an income to run this web site
[b:fcca34641f]5) No negative / critical feedback on people / companies.[/b:fcca34641f]
This is a sticky area as it's often open to abuse (competitors can give eachother negative comments) and one which we'd like to stay clear of. We are not in a position to validate any negative feedback and thus don't want to get into policing this sort of situation.
That's it. At the end of the day, this is a friendly, non-commercial forum with people helping each other on a wide range of issues. Please respect that and enjoy the forums in the spirit in which they have been created.
We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time should we feel it necessary.
