HOUSE RULES – POSTING COMMENTS ON THE SITE
If you post a comment on battlefront.co.uk it must comply with these Terms and in particular this Section 10 (House Rules). If you’re unclear about any of them, ask us a question at [email protected] or www.channel4.com/help. If you disagree with the guidelines, we’re always open to feedback but please note, if your comment doesn’t comply it will be removed and you might even find your account suspended.
We moderate all community areas on the Site on a post-moderated basis. This means one of the moderation team will review your comment after your comment is published. If they find something that breaks these House Rules or any other part of the Terms, your comment(s) will be removed.
Please be aware that we have the right to remove any comment that we feel necessary to maintain a pleasant and constructive community tone. If you think you have been banned, contact [email protected]. Do not register a new name as that will lengthen any ban.
The following rules are applicable across Battlefront communities. You should:
RELEVANCY: Make sure your comment is relevant to the content. Off-topic comments will be removed, unless it’s a designated off-topic area.
REPORT: Use the report button if you think a moderator needs to check the comment for any reason. If you think someone is misusing the community and attack back, your own account could be suspended; so don’t retort, hit report!
ENJOY: Try to have fun. If you find yourself getting wound up or stressed take a break for a bit - coming back refreshed and eager to throw your wit at us once more.
EMPATHISE: Be patient with other users. Even if someone posts in a way that annoys you (in txt spk for example), stay polite and light-hearted in any response. (In 10 years they might be your doctor, or Member of Parliament.)

BICKERING: Don’t get into personal arguments with other users. We do not allow the abuse of other commenters. If another user is attempting to get into an argument with you please do not rise to the bait. Use the report button (present on the bottom of every comment) rather than getting into personal attacks.
SAFETY: Don’t give out any personal information about yourself or another person, especially contact information. You may think you know the people you are chatting to, but you do not know the many thousands of casual guests who can read what you post.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Be aware that copying an email that has been sent to you by either an individual or a company may break the confidentially terms between you and the sender, which can be found in the footer of the email. These posts will be removed.

LIES & COURT CASES: Do Not say untrue things about people or companies as this may be defamatory and don’t mention any court cases or arrests as this may constitute a contempt of court.

DELETED COMMENTS: Do not repeatedly re-post deleted topics or comments.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE: Messages may be removed if posted in languages other than English.

If a Competition is only open to a certain age group (e.g. 18 and over), this will be set out in the Competition Notice and we assume that by entering the Competition (and you warrant that) you are the appropriate age to enter the Competition.
We reserve the right to disqualify any entrant if we have reasonable grounds to believe the entrant has breached any of the Rules.
In the event that any entrant is disqualified from the Competition, we may in our sole discretion decide whether a replacement should be selected. In this event, any further entrant will be selected on the same criteria as the original entrant and will be subject to these Competition Rules.
E.Competition Entries
Unless stated otherwise in the Competition Notice, you may enter the Competition as many times as you like however where a winner has been selected and we discover or have reasonable grounds to believe the winner has used any software or automated process either to answer questions or to make bulk entries, we may select an alternative winner. Any further winner will be selected on the same criteria as the original winner and will be subject to these Competition Rules.
Competition entries must be made in the manner and by the closing date and time specified on the Competition Notice. Failure to do so will disqualify the entry.

Competition winner(s)’ names may be published on the website or you can write to Battlefront Competition Prize Winners, Raw TV, 2nd floor, Solecast House, 13-27 Brunswick Place, London, N1 6DX naming the specific competition including a self-addressed stamped envelope for a list of winners.

You hereby warrant that your Entry and all information which you submit and/or distribute will not infringe the intellectual property, privacy or any other rights of any third party, and will not contain anything which is libellous, defamatory, offensive, obscene, indecent, harassing or threatening.
