- Please use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new topic.
- Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes offering services (charged and free) etc.
- The moderating, support and other teams reserve the right to edit or remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not users.
- The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.
- "The forum "Liturgy Matters" is for the discussion of matters relevant to the liturgy only and not for publicising or promoting other matters. The moderators have the right to determine the relevance of postings in their absolute discretion.

- Text sizes should be between 9 and 12 (small and normal). Text in signatures is subject to the same conditions as posts with respect to decency, etc.
- Links are permitted in signatures. Such links may be made to non-SSG material, commercial ventures, etc. Links are included within the text and image limits above. Links to offensive sites may be subject to removal.
- You can upload your own, or link to external ones. They should be no bigger than 80 pixels square and less than 7KB.
- Same rules of taste and decency apply to these as to the rest of the forum.
- SSG operates a three strike policy. Three strikes and you're out!
- If you feel you have been unfairly warned, you are welcome to contact me ([email protected]).
If I feel you were treated badly, I will sort things out.
If you feel my decision is also unfair, tough. My decision is final! - Permanent bans are a last resort and considered thought is given before implementing them.
