Well its time to write an official warning!
I've received more complaints in the past month than in the proceeding year about obnoxious or offensive posts, so here is the offical guide-lines;
NO POLITICS
NO RELIGION
NO XENOPHOBIA¹

Please remember that we are an international forum with members from all corners of the world. There have been a number of threads recently breaking these rules, they tend to be started by some of our newer members so this is a friendly little guide for you all We all have strong opinions on these matters, and as this is a friendly forum we avoid these topics. That way there are no bad feelings
Anyone breaching this WILL have the thread locked, and WILL be reported to the webmaster and could well see themselves banned, and I'm sure you don't want that

Thanks
Ozzy
