In short: If you are honest and decent, regardless of your opinions, you likely will not need to read this page.
Rules:
1. Style: Do not use common swear words (example: as*h***, bull-s***). Political characterizations do not necessarily count as swear words (example: Fascist.) It is highly valued if you write in a civilized way. If you do not write in a generally friendly or at least neutral manner, you risk your posts being moderated, also - or especially - if you argue in favor of the proposals at market.socialism.nl.
2. Opinion: It is certainly allowed to argue against the proposals provided on market.socialism.nl. This is less appreciated on the Action forums, which are more about the right to assemble and achieve something, than about freedom of speech to have an insightful debate about abstract matters.
3. Law: It goes without saying that no illegal material may be posted here, under Dutch law. That primarily means that you may not threaten to hurt anyone, destroy property, etc. Propaganda for explicit Naziism is forbidden, links to Nazi sites is forbidden, calls for the extermination of defenseless minority populations are forbidden, etc. Although this forum is publicly available, it is not public space.
4. Topic: Please keep to the topic at least most of the time.
5. Language: You can try asking for another language on the Forum itself forum.
6. Administration: It must not be assumed the administration is available to read and check all postings.
7. Identities: Only one identity may be used by one person.
8. Competition: It is welcomed to advertise newly created forums and places about Market Socialism.
9. Use: It is conceivable that what you write here may be quoted somewhere else, to illustrate an argument. If you wish to disallow this, than you could mark your posting or profile as such.
10. Enforcement: Hopefully it will be enough for the administration to ask if people improve their posting if it is required. Improper postings may be moved to the in the bin forum, as a collection of precedents and to not hamper freedom of speech too much by the forum rules. The bin can be used to proceed a discussion as normal, or be used to communicate another venue. The bin postings will have a shorter lifespan as the bin might be emptied from old postings sooner then all other forums.
These rules can change, affecting pre-existing material, due to the unpredictable nature of this forum.
