We want the Radio Academy's website to be a place where you will always find lively, informative and, above all, intelligent discussions. To make this happen, we may, very occasionally, remove or edit some postings. This is not something we will do lightly, but in the best interests of the Radio Academy's members.
The big "No's" which may cause us to wield the editorial hand are:
1. No adverts - people want to learn about and discuss topics.
2. No obscenity, abuse or personal attacks on other people.
3. No racism, sexism or homophobia.
4. No content that may put us in legal jeopardy, such as potentially libellous or
defamatory postings, or which is posted in potential breach of copyright.
5. No overly long discussions or messages.
By using the website, you are deemed to have accepted these conditions.
