Quick Snooker

We encourage:-

• Friendly chat about Snooker or pretty much anything else.

We tolerate:-

• Sensible promotion of tournaments
• Arguments
• Rants
• Banter/teasing/joking/gloating/showboating

We discourage:-

• Rudeness including swearing - and avoidance of the swear filter.
• Promotion of any product or service for commercial or personal gain.
• Promotion of software piracy/copyright theft.
• Posting of distasteful material.
• Cheating or exploiting any loopholes in the game (please report any loophole for closing)

Repeat offenders in this category should be kicked, or given a short less than 24 hour ban. (generally - a three strikes policy)

We will not tolerate:-

• Deceit
• Racism
• Hate or incitement to hate
• Death threats
• Sexual threats or harassment
• Bullying
• ANY threat extending into any players 'real life'
• Deliberate interference with the operation of the room/game
• Pornographic, obscene, violent or distrubing images - images posted to invoke disgust
• Impersonation - attempting to pass off yourself as another player (in posts or games)
• Religious or political extremism, evangelism or recruitment.

Offences under the above can (at the moderator's discretion) result in an immediate and permanent ban.

Rather than descend into a massive list of exactly what is or isn't acceptable - it will be left to the judgment of the moderators, but:-

• Keep a cool head
• Don't take sides
• Try and diffuse the situation
• Use your powers to stop a situation getting out of control
• Use the shortest ban you think will get the point across - kick first, ban later
• If two or more parties are involved you should consider equal treatment of all
• Gloating - on the part of the 'surviving', 'victim' should not be tolerated
• When issuing a ban - please provide a reason - the player will be presented with this information

QS management reserve the right to overturn or reverse bans (but we would very much tend not to)

IMPORTANT NOTE:- Neither QS or the moderators censor, or (generally) read anything from private or 'in-game' chats between players. Only in extreme circumstances (ie when directed by The Police or Security Services) would QS get involved in any way with these messages.

Players are provided with the tools to block each other and should be encouraged to use them as and if necessary.

It probably goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. If you abuse your powers as a moderator they will be removed. They may also be removed at random - if the room is reset, the database is changed, for other technical reasons - or, simply to 'share it around' a bit. - Don't be offended.

Thanks for your support
