By registering and logging into the Learning Disabilities Forum, you agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions laid out below.
We want this to be a safe, enjoyable and friendly environment for all of our Members. These rules will help provide a framework for our Members to achieve this. The boards are read by our Moderators, but posts are not generally moderated before they are added.
You and your Membership
Your account is for your use only. Anything posted from that account will be deemed to have come from you, and you will be held responsible for any activity on that account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
DO NOT impersonate anyone, regardless of whether the other individual is a Learning Disabilities Forum Member.
Please keep in mind that the Learning Disabilities Forum is a community and our purpose is to share, help and support others with learning disabilities, by giving people an opportunity to air their views.
Always display a positive, friendly attitude and be respectful of others' opinions. Rudeness, insults, arguments or threats against other Members are not acceptable.
For each time you find help or answers here at the Learning Disabilities Forum, it would be nice if you could try to help someone else out in return.
Give people a little time to respond to your requests. There may be a lot going on in this forum and it may take a little time for people to notice and respond to your request. Please be patient.
Respect your fellow Members.
Learning Disabilities Forum respects what other forums and websites have to offer. Do not try to degrade or discredit other forums, their administrators and moderators, or their members. This includes slander and other offensive comments.
Learning Disabilities Forum is open to people of all genders, races, abilities and sexualities. Any inappropriate, discriminatory or offensive posts will be deleted and may lead to an infraction or suspension/deletion.
This is a public forum and our Members' reputations are valuable to them – do not communicate anything that is, or could be considered to be defamatory about any person.

Do not post anything that infringes anyone’s copyright, trade mark or other intellectual property rights. If in doubt, refer to the Learning Disabilities Forum Guidelines.
Do not post and threads that advertisement or promote products, any such posts will be deleted.
Forum Abuse Policy

2nd stage - A formal warning or infraction given to the Member, plus deletion of offending post/thread.
3rd stage - Possible suspension or deletion of the Member’s account.
Depending on the situation, the Moderators may bypass any or all of these steps and take whatever action is deemed appropriate.

The Administrators and Moderators will not discuss with third parties reasons for suspension of members or deletion of threads or postings.
