We will assume good faith when dealing with users who violate our guidelines and rules. Administrators
have the final say in interpreting and enforcing these guidelines and rules. Violations of our
guidelines and rules may result in posts being modified or removed entirely and users being banned from
the forums.
Reporting a suspected violation: If you believe that someone has broken a rule or is
behaving in a disruptive manner on any of the forums, alert the administrator using our contact form. Don’t try to deal with it yourself by responding to the
member. As soon as your message is submitted, the administrator will be notified of the report by email.
Please note that the forum post will only be edited or removed if deemed to be in violation of the rules
and guidelines and at CommunAbility’s sole discretion.
