• Are insulting, abusive, racist, sexist, or
  derogatory in any way to others, whether they are individuals or
  companies, social or religious groups or people of a different
  background, users of the Forum or not.
• Threaten, intimidate, victimise or harass others.

• Make libellous comments about individuals or
  companies, including Archant newspapers, magazines or websites, and
  their staff or contributors. The law against defamation protects
  individuals or organisations from attacks on their reputation. This
  means the publication of any statement which: exposes them to hatred,
  ridicule or contempt , causes them to be shunned or avoided, discredits
  them in their trade, business or profession, or generally lowers them
  in the eyes of right thinking members of society. Unlike other charges,
  the onus is on you in cases of libel, as the author, to prove your
  statement or comment is legal.
• Result in contempt of court – do not post
  anything which could prejudice court proceedings currently or in the
  future. It is basically contempt of court to comment on any crime once
  someone has been arrested for it, even if they have not yet been
  charged. That is when proceedings become active and potential jurors
  may be swayed by what they read.
• Contain explicit language or vulgarities

• Use foreign languages 

• Impersonate or represent any person or entity in an attempt to deceive, harass or otherwise mislead another member.

• Incite illegal activity including the glorification of terrorism or incitement to racial hatred. 

• Infringe intellectual property rights or
  transmit any material that you don''t have the right to transmit under
  law (such as copyright or trade secrets)
• Link to and/or references content not allowed under these guidelines.

• Use the service in a manner deemed inappropriate by Archant.

• Impede or disrupt the flow of the discussions in the Forum.

• Include personal information about others,
  or publish private correspondence or report conversations where there
  has been a reasonable expectation of privacy from other parties

Oui, cependant je crois que il y a beacoup de raisons pour ca.

Ok, I have read and understood most of that, and will respect that.  But what happens if, as does sometimes happen we get a person of the foreign persuasion come on here?  Or are they banned?

exactly, bit vague....also, many english words are derived from latin and other languages...can we not use them?

It''s obviously to stop some people abusing others in a foriegn language. Makes sense to me.

As for making libellious statements, you''ll find that this extends to nearly all forums nowadays. Surprised you have not come across it before.
