If you have a question about work you are doing with a Development Officer, please contact them directly via email or by telephoning 029 2055 4955.
Responsibility for Posts
The Forum Moderators monitor messages on this forum. We will do our utmost to remove inappropriate comments or correct inaccurate information. The views expressed in forum posts belong solely to their respective authors and do not reflect the views of the Wales Co-operative Centre, or its associated organisations. The Wales Co-operative Centre and its associated organisations shall not be held responsible for the content of any messages or the results of acting on that content.
Acceptable Posting
Users of this forum agree not to post any material of an offensive or abusive nature, or any deliberately misleading information. Where disagreements arise, users will agree to disagree respectfully. Please report inappropriate postings to the Moderator using the "report this post" button on the forum.
Right to delete
Any material which the moderators feel is offensive, abusive or deliberately misleading may be removed without warning.
No copyright material
We encourage you to post resources you are willing to share in the community area, but please be aware these may be distributed or modified by others. None of the content posted on the website is available for resale.
Users may not post copyrighted material on these forums, except under existing fair use laws.
You can post links to articles that exist elsewhere on the web. Posting links to pirated material not permitted.
No advertising
Genuine recommendations of products are acceptable, but this is not a forum for advertisers. The moderators reserve the right to remove any post they believe to be intended for commercial gain.
Acceptable usernames
Usernames must not be of an offensive or abusive nature. Users who select usernames deemed by the moderators to be offensive or abusive will have their accounts and all posts deleted without warning.
Logging in
Logging in as someone else is not permitted. Users suspected of logging in with another person´s credentials will have their accounts suspended.
Disputes
Moderators may remove inappropriate posts, or suspend the account of a user who does not stick to these terms. Where a user feels a moderator has acted unfairly in deleting posts or suspending an account, the user should contact the site administrator. The site administrator´s decision is final.
Recording of information
The IP address used to make any post is recorded. This will only be used to identify posters of offensive or illegal material, but may also be used to prevent nuisance posters from posting.
