Apologies for this, but I believe it is considered prudent to publish the rules and regulations for public forums on the internet to avoid potential problems later.

*To implement "ICU G1 Terms of service: substance (all services)" we have added the following section to Forum Rules.*
Handling Illegal Content
———————————————
The Administrator and Moderation team treats illegal content with the utmost gravity. When made aware of the presence of illegal content, through phpBB’s post reporting features, or through our contact email address - admin@westfield-eleven.org - we will take this down at the earliest opportunity.
The Westfield Eleven Register does not use *proactive technology* to detect illegal content.
We include specific provisions for the following types of content.
Terrorism Content
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The type of content defined under `Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 5 <https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/20 ... /5/enacted>` will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.
CSEA Content
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The type of content defined under `Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 6 <https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/20 ... /6/enacted>` will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.
Priority Illegal Content
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~—
The type of content defined under `Online Safety Act 2023, Schedule 7 <https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/20 ... /7/enacted>` will be taken down immediately, and will result in immediate and permanent revocation of access to the service. Where possible, the offending account will also be reported to law enforcement.
Complaints and Appeals
——————————————
Complaints about content should preferably be reported by email directly to admin@westfield-eleven.org rather than through the phpBB reporting features. This will get a quicker response. The emails will be preserved to create an audit trail.
To appeal moderation actions you may contact us at admin@westfield-eleven.org.
The decision made by the Administrator and Moderators is final. It is a privilege to use this service, and not a right.
