General practice regarding posting messages

Spell-check; refrain from chat-speak; use the shift key (capitalise). Please be courteous and make an effort to use proper punctuation, capitalisation, spelling and grammar. Since this isn’t a real-time, teen chat room, you have the time to check for errors as well as the ability to preview/edit a message before it is posted. Using good writing habits is courteous and projects a more credible professional image to other members.

General practice regarding use and storage

You acknowledge that Brickish may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Discussion Forum service, including without limitation the maximum length of time that postings or other uploaded content will be retained or archived within this Discussion Forum, the maximum size of any message that may be posted on the Discussion Forum and the maximum disk space that will be available to all members for messages and/or file storage.

Suspension or modification of the Discussion Forum

We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify, suspend or discontinue the Discussion Forum (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
