Using our website and community

Our website and community is a public place. It is searchable on the internet, unless you are posting in a part of it which is private to members, or to a group of members. By being part of it you acknowledge this.

Our posts are pre-moderated. This means that they are checked by a moderator before they are posted on the website or on our community.

We request that you:

  • Protect the identity and privacy of other people.
  • Do not submit posts that are unlawful, harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, sexually orientated or racially offensive.
  • Do not swear or use language that could offend other forum participants.
  • Do not advertise or promote products or services.
  • Do not spam or flood the forum. Only submit a comment once.
  • Do not resubmit the same, or similar, comments.
  • Keep your comments relevant to the discussion topic.
  • Do not breech other people’s copyright.

User Content

By posting content on our website and in our community your contributions are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License1. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, we (including our moderators and administrators) have the right (though not the obligation) to, in our sole discretion, refuse or remove any content that, in our reasonable opinion, violates any of our policies or is in any way harmful or objectionable.

Cancellation or Suspension of Your Account

You may cancel your account at any time by emailing us using our contact form, which can be found here. We will endeavour to close your account within 48 hours.

Deleting Posts

Posts that have been made in our online community can not be deleted by members. Moderators and administrators have discretion to remove posts. This is normally only exercised in cases where there are privacy or safety concerns.

Anonymous Posting

We operate in a small local area (i.e. Oxfordshire). At times, it may be appropriate to use the anonymous posting function. This will further protect your identity, as it will not relate your post to your previous posts. Your posts using this function will still be moderated. There are safety mechanisms in the system which allow the poster to be identified by the administrators of our community.

Links to other websites

We are not responsible for the content of external websites, and links to external sites should not be taken as an endorsement of their content.

Accuracy of information

While we endeavour to ensure the information contained on our website www.ldox.org and within our community forum.ldox.org is accurate, we do not provide any guarantee that it is. It is your responsibility to check any information that is given is correct.

Research

From time to time, research will be conducted within our online community. By registering as a member, you acknowledge that you are aware that research may be being undertaken within the community. You also consent to being contacted by email by the researcher(s) involved. While you may be contacted, there is no expectation that you will take part in the said research. Declining to be involved in the research will not affect your membership of the LDOX.Org online community in any way.
