The most important post you need to read on this board!
Introduction
First of all....a massive welcome to the LFC Reds Liverpool FC forum.
This is forum for supporters of the World's greatest football club. It is connected to the original Liverpool FC unofficial and independent website Anfield Online which was first online in 1997 - this forum however was only launched in early 2006.
The forum is free to register and you will need to be registered to post or reply to discussions, take part in polls, or access some of the boards hidden from guests. Some downloads, video clips and images are also hidden from guests.
A lot of effort goes in to the smooth running of this forum and the following simple rules help enable the forum staff to help keep LFC Reds as one of the best online communities.
This forum remains the private property of the owners and we reserve the right to allow users to posts as we see fit in accordance with our rules.
The following rules are in place to help the staff keep the forum tidy, keep the idiots out and to maintain the fantastic LFC spirit we have on here. We expect all users to abide by them. Remember that we all support the same club, all share the same dreams for our club and even if you disagree, you should respect opinions of fellow supporters.
Forum Rules
----------------
The following are UNACCEPTABLE both in posts and via Personal Message and will usually result in a PERMANENT BAN
* RACISM
* TICKET TOUTING (ie. selling a ticket over face value + reasonable postage costs)
* SPAM / ADVERTISING (This forum isn't a free advertising service. Personal blogs, MySpace etc are okay - anything else needs to be discussed with one of the forum staff)
* THREATENING VIOLENCE or CONTINUOUS PERSONAL ABUSE of a fellow poster
* CREATING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS to get around a ban.
* Any suspected use of any IP proxy software
* Any user signing up with what we consider to be an expired disposable email address.
The following GUIDELINES should be adhered to.
If you fail to stick to these then you may find posts edited, deleted or yourself on the end of a short ban. Continue to piss everyone off and the ban will be made permanent.
1) OTHER CLUBS FANS WELCOME - As long as you're not an idiot. If you come to talk sense, decent football chat you're okay. If your on a wind up or here to piss reds off you'll get banned and your posts will be deleted. Avatars and signatures depicting other clubs or players are not allowed.
2) SWEARING IS ALLOWED (BUT NOT IN TOPIC TITLES) - when you first sign up a word-censor is in place. If you are an adult and can take a bit of swearing - you can switch this off as one of your member profile options. This is a football forum and there may be some words heard at football grounds. However, use it in moderation.
3) DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS - Posting in all caps is rude and the offending post will be deleted. Simple.
4) AVOID TEXT SPEAK & USE PROPER ENGLISH - Put a bit of effort in to your posts. If your first language is English then you should know sentences start with a capital letter and end with full stops, and that paragraphs are usually used. Depending on our mood you will either get a warning or a straight ban (after your posts have been deleted). There is also a spell check when you post messages plus many internet browsers have this built in.
5) SOURCE NEWS STORIES - If you're posting a news article then you should post the full story and the link to the story.
6) DON'T POST ANYTHING FROM THE S*N NEWSPAPER - It's all bullshit, they have no direct connection to the club and are widely despised by all decent Liverpool supporters. A reminder of why is here
7) DON'T ARSE AROUND OR BE A WIND UP MERCHANT (WUM) - Morons are not allowed to spoil the enjoyment of people on this forum. Remember - this is a forum for you and your fellow Liverpool fans. We're all on the same side here. Users who continually go off topic, or appear to be on a mission to wind up fellow users will not last long.
