Moderator and Administrator's actions/decisions are final and must be respected and by until users are told otherwise by the Mod/Admin team.


Who to contact:

The following is a list of Moderators and Administrators of the board, their area's of responsibility and what to contact them in regards to if you have the need.

Contact the Administrators for account issues such as problems accessing forums and other such matters.


Contact the moderators with general forum issues in regards to posts, threads, users and behavior please.

Moderators and administrators tends to get the bulk of PM's right now and this creates a large workload for them and also means your problems get dealt with slower. So PLEASE ensure you are contacting the right member of the team with your problem to even this situation out and speed things up.


Links:

1. There is a separate board set aside for links. This can be used by users to alert others to a website of interest, be it about Islam or not.

2. When posting any copyrighted material found on the internet users should link to the webpage or make clear where it was obtained from.


3. Users should not post any links to sites that are anti-Islam, racist, sexually explicit or otherwise inappropriate.

4. Users should be careful that any pictures or video's on the page they are linking to are not inappropriate if there is something that you find questionable please forewarn the users.

5. If Muslims wish to make comment on any anti-Islam site, they are advised to do so in the Muslims Forum.

6. Do not misuse your posting privelges by creating numerous new threads containing only collections of links to other sites.

If Moderators and Administrators of the forums deem any link inappropriate, it will be removed.

Forum Security:

1. To request access to a private forum (Muslim, Brothers or Sisters), please join the Brother/Sisters group (It can be done by clicking the link given in the info below the forum). Do not PM Administrators or Moderators for access; simply join the group to get access.

2. Talking about what is discussed in private forums should be kept to a minimum, revealing detailed information about what users discuss is a breach of trust and action may be taken against this.

3. Users must NOT under any circumstances share or reveal their password to anyone. This jeopardizes the security of the whole forum and is a serious offense that will result in a permanent ban from private sections if not all of the forum.

4. *Users who gain access to private forums MUST read the sticky threads in those forums and abide by the extra rules of the private forums as stated in those threads.*

If Moderators or Administrators deem that a user has acted in a way that has put the forums security at risk, they may take appropriate action against the user.


Admins will never ask you for your password, but we may need to verify you by asking your email address that you registered with. No account Sharing allowed. If there are several posters in the same household you must each have individual account's.

These Rules and Regulation are subject to change when deemed necessary by the Administration of Turn To Allah forum.
