NFHiB Forum Terms Of Use:

Please take a moment to review these rules detailed below. If you agree with them and wish to proceed with the registration, simply click the "Register" button below. To cancel this registration, simply hit the 'back' button on your browser.

Please remember that Neighbours From Hell in Britain (NFHiB) is not responsible for any messages posted. By registering to the Neighbours From Hell in Britain Forum Board you are also agreeing and signifying your acceptance and understanding of the forum board guidelines . You also agree to the NFHiB Privacy Policy by signing up a free forum community membership. If you do not agree to both the forum board guidelines and privacy policy as afore mentioned, you cannot use the NFHiB Forum or Web Site. Continued use of the NFHiB Services signifies your understanding and acceptance of both of these. Please do not sign up a forum membership if you do not agree to these.

Children and Young People aged under 16 Years of age may not register without parental/guardian permission.

We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of NFHiB. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use NFHiB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by NFHiB.

The owners of the NFHiB website and forum at nfh.org.uk have the absolute right to permanently ban or delete any and all NFHiB Forum Members at anytime (including, but not exclusively listing a member's forum posts, e-mail address, Private Messages, Forum Subscriptions, etc), without warning, explanation, reason, further discussion or otherwise. The NFHiB Forum is privately owned and as such the forum owners are fully entitled to take this or similar action if and when appropriate.

We need to state the 'NFHiB Forum Terms of Use' above again as we do understand that in haste to join the forum and start receiving help and information, some members may have inadvertently skipped over this. Please have another look if you need to and if in any doubt about the content, please ask us for more clarification, thank you.

• Please start a 'New Topic' where appropriate. This will help you to directly receive any personalised support and information, relevant to your situation. Posting in an already established thread (topic) for help or advice, will mean that your situation may well get 'lost' in another member's already-established topic.
  
  
• Unnecessarily 'bumping' threads (topics) is not permitted ("thread bumping" is the act of posting in a thread, with the sole goal of getting it back to the top of the thread list").
  
  
• NFHiB has a 'swear' filter in place to prevent many offensive words. However, this filter isn't perfect and we expect members not to use excessive profanity or attempt to bypass the filter by using substitute letters or characters within posts that contain bad language.
  
  
• Posting in CAPITALS or all BOLD etc, is considered to be extremely rude and considered to be the equivalent of SHOUTING. It also makes your post very hard to read.
  
  
• Please post replies in threads that are connected to the topic subject or content and which are relevant. Replies that are 'off-topic' may be removed with or without warning.
  
  
• Please put in spaces and returns (via the 'enter' key!) after your sentences. Most members will find it very hard to respond to your post if there are no gaps to help read it!
  
  
• We all like to express ourselves in posts by using 'smilies' (or sometimes known as 'emoticons'). If you overdo it, you risk losing attention to the real content of your posting!
  
  
• Text speak (txt) is not recommended and confuses many readers. Please try and avoid its use - there's no need and is best kept for the use of mobile phone SMS.
  
  
• Writing your post and using uncommon colours or fonts may cause some readers difficulties (e.g. visual impairments). Please use colours and fonts sensibly.
  
  
• Please do not upload or link to any material or media files which are illegal within your post, or that you don't own or have copyright for.
  
  
• Check back often for any replies to your posts (bookmark your topic if needed as it has a unique identifying URL to help you easily find it again).
  
  
• Subscribe to any topic where you'd like to be notified via e-mail of replies automatically. By clicking on the link 'Thread Tools' within the topic itself and then selecting from the 'Subscribe' options to choose from a selection of free subscription methods. More information about e-mail notification of new messages.

Your Neighbours From Hell in Britain forum account is password protected, only you have access to that password and we can not view your password or e-mail it to you (they are stored securely in the database in an encrypted fashion, using 'MD5' encryption). You can change your password/e-mail settings for your forum account at any time by following the automated online instructions (e.g. to change e-mail address when logged on to the forum, follow the link to 'User CP' and then select 'Edit EMail & Password').

You must not allow any unauthorised access to your forum account. The security of your forum password is your responsibility and we advise you to change it regularly and keep it safe and secure.

If you have lost your password you can have this reset by following the password recovery procedure (automated process), available via the main forum community index.

Forum E-Mail Settings: You can choose to show or hide your current e-mail address to other forum users, within the Neighbours From Hell in Britain forum. Do this by accessing 'User CP' and then selecting 'E-mail Settings'. The option 'Hide my e-mail address from other members ' is then accessible and you can choose your preference.

Be Aware: If you e-mail another forum member using the online e-mail facility from within the forum, your e-mail address will BE DISPLAYED to the receiver of your e-mail. Therefore, do not send e-mail to forum members who you do not wish to know your e-mail address. You are encouraged to make full use of all personal settings in the 'My Controls' area in the NFHiB Forum.

You should always be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on forum message boards or other publicly accessible areas etc, that information may be viewed publicly. This can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge or control and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Neighbours From Hell in Britain and this privacy policy, although the website administration team will attempt to remove or edit such inappropriate information as soon as possible to reduce the possibility of this occurring.

• Avatars may not have larger dimensions than 130px x 130px. File size maximum is 75Kb.



• Avatars may not be offensive, crude or otherwise inappropriate. We will remove any avatars falling into this category.



• Please don't use overly distracting avatars (e.g. flashing, animated images).

• Signatures must not contain more than 250 characters maximum and a max. size of 5Kb. Colours used need to be easy to read for all members.



• No excessively large images (maximum dimensions permitted are 468px by 60px) and you cannot have more than one image in your signature.



• No more than 3 WWW (URL's) links please (or links to commercial/business sites without prior permission).



• A 'reasonably sized' font please! Signatures with excessively sized fonts will be altered or the member asked to edit.



• HTML code is not allowed ('BBCode' is, however).



• No offensive or inappropriate material/content.

• You own an image or have the owners permission to use and upload it to the NFHiB Gallery. Where applicable, it may also be necessary for you to gain permission from any individuals who may be identified or present within an image. It is your responsibility to check this and in any cases of copyright infringement you agree that NFHiB will not be held responsible.
  
  
• No images containing any offensive content or 'adult material' will be allowed. Pornographic images are not welcome at NFHiB, please do not upload them. Similarly we will not allow any offensive, abusive or otherwise disturbing material within photographs, images or other graphics.
  
  
• You do not 'hotlink' any image to the NFHiB Gallery. Hotlinking ("bandwidth theft, which is the intentional usage of someone's bandwidth without that person's authorisation") is never acceptable.

• Please follow the forum board guidelines whilst in chat.
  
  
• Do not discuss other forum members in chat and remain polite at all times, as we would expect members to do so in general at NFHiB.
  
  
• Respect people's anonymity. If someone doesn't wish to reveal their true identity (or specific circumstances, e.g. their age or geographical location) within the chat area, please never force the issue. Don't ask any members personal or intrusive questions in the 'public' chat room, even if you know that person well. Chat users should only answer what they feel comfortable in saying or answering. For one-to-one private chats, please ensure you use the 'private' function in the chat room.
  
  
• Please do not refer to any information, details or events that have been discussed during a live chat conversation within any other area of the NFHiB Forum, unless you first have permission from the particular forum member who has given you that information.
  
  
• As in real life, please imagine the chat room as a social club or 'pub' like area - people in live chat are real, they are human beings and can be offended or distressed identically as in 'real life'. Even though we are all 'behind' a keyboard, we are all still human beings.
  
  
• Please do not use offensive, abusive, vulgar or foul language. Users that do this will be asked to refrain from such chat and will be asked to leave (and will also possibly be permanently/temporarily banned from using the NFHiB Live Chat service and NFHiB Forum if they persist).
  
  
• Do not show disrespect of others or cause a deliberate disturbance/annoyance or be disrespectful of anyone for any reason, for example: their gender, nationality, race, religion or sexual orientation, background, etc.
  
  
• Do not Spam or Troll: 'Spamming' is when you cause the chat window to 'scroll' unnecessarily by typing or entering un-needed and/or multiple characters (sometimes referred to as 'flooding'), or by promoting a product. Trolling is generally making a nuisance of yourself.
  
  
• No 'Shouting': Please do not use all capital letters when talking live in the chat unless you have a specific reason to emphasise a point. The use of capital letters constantly is considered to be shouting and is seen as very poor chat room etiquette (or sometimes referred to as 'netiquette'). "THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SHOUTING IN A CHAT ROOM".
