Here is a copy of the Forum Registration Agreement.

IMPORTANT:  Hotmail, live.com, and other free  / throw away email accounts will not work for registration.  Do not use these to register you will be wasting your time.  If this is a problem or you are in any doubt,  you can email the admin by clicking here    http://www.wildfisher.co.uk/smf/index.php?action=contact

New members are required to make at least one post in their personal welcome topic before they can view the other forums. If a moniker has been used to register members are required to give their real name and all members  must state where they live.  Access is manually controlled and is granted by admin only after these conditions have been met. Please be patient as this may not be instantaneous.  Until the account is fully activated use of the forum is very limited.

Any member who accesses their account via an anonymous proxy or with any blacklisted IP will have their account deleted without notice.

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, libellous, potentially libellous, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International, Scottish or English law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have written consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this forum. Posts on divisive subjects such as football, religion and politics (unless directly connected to fishing or conservation) will be modified or removed without notice. Personal attacks posted against other members are not acceptable regardless of circumstances and will be removed. Anyone indulging in personal attacks may also have their accounts deleted.

Posting private messages or any other private communication  between members on the open forums will result in the immediate termination of a member’s account. Any moderation disputes  or grievances of any nature MUST be taken up with  the administrators and never posted on the open forums. There will be no discussion of moderation matters, other members, matters relating to other members  or related issues on the open forums. Any posts of  this nature posted on the open forums will be viewed as a deliberate attempt to cause disruption,  trouble or disharmony and will be removed without notice; in addition the member’s account may be disabled, temporarily or permanently. The administrators reserve the right to remove any post or any topic for any reason they consider necessary.

All posts on the forum must be in English. Non-English posts will be removed.

Note that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of this forum to confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of this forum, its staff, its subsidiaries, or this forum's owner. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify an administrator or moderator of this forum immediately. The staff and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, please realize that they may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy applies to member profile information as well.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of this forum, any related websites to this forum, its staff, and its subsidiaries. The owners of this forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any other related information collected on this service) in the event of a formal complaint or legal action arising from any situation caused by your use of this forum.

By uploading Content to this site, you grant the owners of the site an unrestricted, royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit, and distribute such material in any manner, including in connection with the owners business, and you also agree that the owners of the site  are free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques that you send the owners of the site  for any purpose.

You have the ability, as you register, to choose your username. We advise that you keep the name appropriate. With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password out to another person except an administrator, for your protection and for validity reasons. You also agree to NEVER use another person's account for any reason.  We also HIGHLY recommend you use a complex and unique password for your account, to prevent account theft.

After you register and login to this forum, you will be able to fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information the forum owner or staff determines to be inaccurate or vulgar in nature will be removed, with or without prior notice. Appropriate sanctions may be applicable. New members first must reply in  their personal  welcome topic on the Introduce Yourself board  before admin can enable full access.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this forum or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

Also note that the software places a cookie, a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password), in your browser's cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out. The software does not collect or send any other form of information to your computer.

We regard our forum as a  rather special community, a gathering place of friends and new friends are always welcome. Please respect this and do not use our forum just as a means to promote your business, websites, forums or blogs. This is  prohibited on most forums, but we are happy to accommodate a few personal links by established members who have contributed to our community for a reasonable length of time. Blatant promotional links to  other  websites in posts or in  profiles, by new members, will be treated as spam  and removed. If they are then reposted the account will be removed.
