Good afternoon, the new season starts today. Welcome back to the users that have come back after the Winter.

During the offseason the Admin of RLFans have updated the Acceptable Usage Policy for the site, can you please have a quick read through to refresh yourselves with the do's and don'ts.


This acceptable use policy sets out the terms between you and us under which you may access our
website. This acceptable use policy applies to all users of, and visitors to, our site.
Your use of our site means that you accept, and agree to abide by, all the policies in this acceptable
use policy.

1.0 Prohibited Uses
You may use our site only for lawful purposes. You may not use our site:
 In any way that breaches any applicable local, national or international law or regulation.
 In any way that is unlawful or fraudulent, or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect.
 For the purpose of harming or attempting to harm minors in any way.
 To send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material which does not
comply with our content standards set out below.
 To transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or
promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam).
 To knowingly transmit any data, send or upload any material that contains viruses, Trojan
horses, worms, time-bombs, keystroke loggers, spyware, adware or any other harmful programs
or similar computer code designed to adversely affect the operation of any computer software
or hardware.

You also agree:
 Not to reproduce, duplicate, copy or re-sell any part of our site in contravention of the
provisions of our terms of website use.
 Not to access without authority, interfere with, damage or disrupt:
 any part of our site;
 any equipment or network on which our site is stored;
 any software used in the provision of our site; or
 any equipment or network or software owned or used by any third party.

2.0 Interactive Services
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation:
 Chat rooms.
 Bulletin boards.
 Forums

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind
of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is
human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third
parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case
whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of
moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee,
monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our
liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in
contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.
The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or
guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is
important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not
fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks
to them.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of
contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
