Future Melbourne wiki Discussion Rules

The basics

In using the Future Melbourne wiki site, all members agree to abide by the rules of the site and the Future Melbourne wiki Terms and Conditions.

The Future Melbourne wiki is internet-based and relies on valid email addresses. All members are asked to ensure their registered email addresses remain valid.

Posts that break any Future Melbourne wiki rules will be edited or removed without warning and without explanation. Removed posts will not be reinstated under any circumstances.

The Future Melbourne wiki encourages sharing, conversation, debate, different perspectives, honesty, respect and integrity. Passion is welcome, aggression is not. Any member who compromises the privacy or anonymity of other members or staff or who otherwise interferes with another member's quiet enjoyment of the site is not welcome at the Future Melbourne wiki.

Future Melbourne wiki rules

1. Obscene, abusive, sexist, racist, religiously bigoted, defamatory, malicious, innuendo-laden or otherwise inappropriate language is not welcome on this site. Posts that break this rule will be removed without notice, and users may be banned from the site.

2. Stalking, threatening, intimidating and other forms of harassment, arguments and slanging matches are equally unwelcome and will have the same consequences.
