- Always be friendly and as helpful as possible. (If you ever feel that there could be a slight chance that your post might be viewed as unfriendly, then please, don't do the post).
- Within your posts, please don't mention, in any way, shape or form, anything to do with any social networking websites.
- Email address's :
- Because of spammers, and to encourage maximum activity on the forums, members posting anything to do with their own email address, or another members email address, in any way, shape or form, risks immediate permanent deletion from the forums! This includes offering to text an email address or asking for an email address to be texted!! For anyone who is easily confused, anything to do with their own email address or someone else's, means exactly that, anything to do with their own email address or someone else's!
- If any more details and/or photos are needed in a post, please, don't mess around trying to communicate it by email, whatsapp, instagram (or via another website!!), or communicating email address's by phone. Either post the needed details/photos, or ask for the details/photos to be posted!! It makes much more sense to help as many members as possible, as quickly as possible, rather than by email, helping just one member at a time!! (Asking for, or posting a contact telephone number is always okay).
- Please note, going against any of this, or trying to be 'inventive' with posting anything to do with your email address or another members email address and/or mentioning any part of this page on the forums will usually result in your membership being immediately terminated, so PLEASE be careful with what you post!
- To ensure your membership isn't permanently deleted, please don't mention in any way, shape or form, other websites, including newspapers, etc, or details of anywhere that is in competition with any part of these forums, including for example, other places, shops, businesses, etc that have secondhand items/cars/property for sale! (It's always okay to mention shops like for example, Carrefour, Leroy Merlin, Aldi, etc, as these shops don't usually sell secondhand items).
- The paying advertisers here financially contribute to these forums,
which then helps the forums to run as successfully as possible for everyone.
When posting links to other websites, please ensure that they are not, in any
way, shape or form, in competition with any forum advertisers. To check if

- Asking and answering questions - when asking a question and another member has answered that question, please take the time to thank them, it's only common politeness. However, when answering a question, and you've not received a thanks, please remember that there could be many reasons why the person asking the question hasn't thanked you, they may be on holiday, simply forgot, problems with their computer, etc, etc, so please don't get upset if the person hasn't thanked you for answering their question. Just answer the questions where you can, because it always feels good to help others!
