Viking Chat Forum Rules

You agree, through your use of this site, that you will not post any material which is in violation of any UK or International law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum.  The VSC operates a Commercial Partner system for individuals or businesses wishing to advertise products or services on the site.  Please contact corporate@drfc-vsc.co.uk for more information.  Advertisements from users not signed up as a VSC Commercial Partner may be removed without prior notice.  If anyone is selling an item to raise funds for a charitable organisation, then please send a PM to a VSC Director to approve BEFORE posting details on the forum.

Please remember that the site Moderators can not actively monitor every posted message, and as such are not responsible for the content contained within. The VSC does not provide any warranty towards the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented.

Any posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of the VSC. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify a Moderator of this forum immediately. The Moderators reserve the right to remove objectionable content if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, so please realise that they may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy also applies to member profile information. Objectionable content may include, but is not limited to, obscene swearing, posts of a homophobic, sexist, racist, islamophobic nature.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify the Viking Supporters Co-operative should any legal action arise from content you post on the forum. The Viking Supporters Co-operative also reserve the right to reveal information in the event of legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this forum.  Please do not copy and paste content from other sites into posts, but instead please provide a link to the content.  Copying content from other sites can be in breach of copyright, and you will be at risk of legal action for breach of intellectual property, whereas providing a link to the content is acceptable.

You have the ability to choose your username as you register. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. Following registration, you agree to never give your password out to another person (except a VSC site administrator) for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another person's account for any reason. We also HIGHLY recommend you use a complex and unique password for your account, to prevent account theft. Should you suspect that your account has been accessed by a third-party please contact a moderator immediately.

After you register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information.

Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature may be removed, with or without prior notice.  Please remember that the forum is used by Rovers supporters, both young and old, and bear this in mind when starting threads or replying to posts.

The forum operates a "three strikes" ban system for Rovers fans, and will warn users about improper conduct.  Continued transgression following a warning will result in a short "cooling off" ban from the forum.  A subsequent transgression will then receive a longer ban, whilst yet another transgression will result in a permanent ban.  

Whilst the forum encourages opposition fans to join the site, the "three strikes" system does not extend to them and they may receive an immediate ban following any improper conduct.

Please remember that the moderators and site admins are all volunteers and give their time freely to help ensure that the forum is a vibrant community.  Abuse of moderators doing their job for the good of the forum will not be tolerated and may result in an immediate ban. Admins decision is final and no long drawn out correspondence will be entered into.

Above all, the Viking Chat forum exists as a means for Doncaster Rovers supporters to join together and communicate, and we hope that all users respect and enjoy the facilities on offer.

Up the Rovers!
