* Please use correct English. Do not post in other languages unless you provide an English translation. Do not use aimspeak, txtspeak, 1337speek, etc. Spelling mistakes are only frowned upon when it makes your post illegible, in these cases we recommend using a spell checker.
* Abusing the administrators or moderators is a fast way to get a permanent ban.
Advertising, Spam, Illegal content
* Please do not use the forums to advertise.
* Do not post spam messages. This includes posting the same thing in multiple forums, and thread bumping.
* Do not post about torrents, file sharing, where to source drugs, etc. These are against the law and will not be tolerated.
* Do not post about pyramid or other similar schemes.
Defamation, Slander and Libel
* Do not post slanderous comments about companies, people, professionals or breeders.
* Do not post slanderous things about other forum members. If you would not like them to do it to you, chances are they don't want you to do it to them.
* Ultimately, responsibility falls onto you, the members, for things you may say. If they are slanderous, you may open yourselves to legal action. Aussie Rats & Mice is not legally responsible for your posts.
* We will, if confronted by a court, fully comply with their wishes and tell them what it is we know about you and the comments in question. You are not anonymous (even when using the anonymous post function - the administrators can see who you are). Every post logs an IP address among other details and you can be tracked through those details.
Morals and Ethics
* This is a forum for the discussion of fancy rats and mice bred and kept for pets. We are not a forum for discussion about feeder breeding.
* There is a standard of care expected of your pets, and these issues can be quite touchy for many people. We promote education, and hope that our knowledge is taken on board and you can change the way you do things if your current practices are detrimental to your animals and their health.
* Example of the above include, but are not limited to, the use of pine and cedar shavings, diet and nutrition, breeding practices, selling to pet shops, feeder breeding and cage space.
We at Aussie Rats & Mice reserve the right to revoke your access to these forums without prior notice.
