The forum is a place where people can interact and have discussions about our In the Air Tonight Sessions and the different topics covered in them and also chat about model aircraft and drone flying as well as building. It is not a place to discuss politics or the governance of the BMFA. We ask that you follow these guidelines to ensure that the forums have some productive conversation. These rules and guidelines are enforced by administrators and moderators, and at their discretion they may delete posts without warning that do not comply. Also, failure to comply with these rules may result in a ban from the forum.
We rely on all forum members to help keep these discussion forums a safe place for people to share and view information. To do this, we request that all members comply with the following rules when contributing to the discussion forums:
- Keep it friendly
- Be courteous and respectful. Appreciate that others may have an opinion different from yours.
- Stay on topic. When creating a new discussion thread, give a clear topic title and put your post in the appropriate category. When contributing to an existing discussion, try to stay 'on topic'. If something new comes up within a topic that you would like to discuss, start a new thread.
- If you have nothing to say on a subject, don't say it!
- Share your knowledge. Don't hold back in sharing your knowledge – it's likely someone will find it useful or interesting. When you give information, provide your sources.
- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech.
- Refrain from posting For Sale/Wanted adverts.
- Refrain from Posting commercial links unless relevent to the subject or question asked.
