Forum Rules And Guidelines - Read This Before Your 1st Post

WFC Forums and its moderators:

Reserve the right to decide the length of any ban wholly at their own discretion;
Reserve the right to ban users for life;
Reserve the right to alter these Forum Rules at any time;
Are not liable in any way for the postings of members.
A Reminder:
WFC Forums are a free service provided to you for the benefit of Watford supporters everywhere, however we welcome supporters from other clubs, (except Lu*on), for good natured comment and banter. All members who abide by the rules are very welcome. Like all forums there is a certain level of etiquette expected from all users. Therefore the following would be best avoided:
Posting in 'txt spk' as it is not understandable to all users;
Spamming the boards with advertising or threads with entirely off topic posts;
Supporting Luton;
'Bumping' of random old threads back to the top of the forums for no good reason
Posting threads in the incorrect forums. WFC Forums has a forum for pretty much everything, football related or not. We welcome non-football chat but please try to keep it to the non-football forums provided;
Posting in Capitals is considered shouting and can be annoying if over used
Entirely personal conversations. If you're making match meeting arrangements try to stick to the appropriate forum - otherwise we have a wonderful Private Messaging (PM) system available to all members. This can be found in the top right-hand corner of any page.
Obviously this is primarily a football forum and as such you can expect the language used at times to be passionate and to the point, while debates can often get heated. By all means be controversial - we like a good debate as much as anywhere else - however please be aware that threads that are too controversial will be moved from public view at the discretion of the moderators.
Try not to take anything too personally however if you feel you are being unnecessarily abused you can click the 'Report Post' button at any time (the small '!' in a triangle). Reported posts are seen by all moderators and are often discussed before action is taken.
Please remember the search function which can be found in the menu bar across the top of every page on WFC Forums. Try to do a search before starting a thread on a topic - particularly if your topic is likely to have been discussed in the near past. By doing this you'll be saving the moderators from having to constantly merge threads.
Finally, if you're unsure about anything you're about to post feel free to contact a WFC Forums moderator first for guidance. Suggestions for further forum improvements are also welcomed - already we have seen several popular innovations suggested by members which have later been made into a reality. Once again, welcome to WFC Forums!
