Policing  
• NGV Network Forum operates a three strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum of three times for any and all offences in a three month period. If the need arises for a fourth warning a temporary ban will be put in place of between 1 to 7 days.  
 
• Arguing with the moderating team after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a temporary ban will be put in place as above?  
 
• Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact the moderator team. If they feel you were treated badly they remove a warning, if you feel their decision is also unfair you may contact any of the committee members. Their decision is final. Contacting committee members over warning or banning matters should be done so as a very last resort ... committee members do not want to be bothered unless vital.  
 
• Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban will lead to that ban being made permanent. Circumvention includes re-registering under a non-banned username; changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban, registering a new email account of evade an email ban. Circumvention includes posting as an anonymous user.  
 
• An exception to the three strike rule applies when users contact team members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban.  
 
• Permanent bans will be the last resort !
