For the purpose of this document and the forum contents: Owner and webmaster refers to D. Stewart. Admins and moderators (mods) refer to those members that have volunteered their services for non-financial gain and are clearly identified by icon tags within the forums.

Please remember that we are not responsible for any messages posted by members or guests etc. 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 the Admin and moderating staff.

Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by the 'report post' facility. 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.

While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message; therefore, you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and the opinions of the author and not the owner, administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.

The UK Discus Association Forum is intended, for discussions about the Discus fish and other aquarium related subjects. Discussion of some of the topics often become heated, primarily due to out passions, personal beliefs and experiences; therefore, please remember:

Do not state your opinions as fact - doing this will get you into trouble with other members who disagree. A lot of flame wars start off by a person stating an opinion as fact.

Do not bash the subjects. No matter how bad you think it is, there are probably people out there who do like it. If you feel the need to criticize a Subject, do that, criticize - give reasonable explanations for why you feel the way you do.

Tone is the key. Comments should always be factual and spoken gently, never in anger. They should be to the benefit of those spoken to.

If a person is asking for medical advice on their fish, offer an opinion that is based on your experience, point them in the right direction of proprietary medication and or a local vet. 

Remember 1) - people will have different experiences and opinions to yourself - respect this at all times. 

Remember 2) Allow people to use their own judgements on what path of treatment or remedial action to take; after all they are the ones that have all the parameters, and experience with their stock.

This condition may be invoked at any time.
