This page gives more details on what is and is not acceptable content on Stoxnet, what happens if anyone chooses to ignore these rules, and how the rules will be applied. The vast majority of members never need even look at this page, but it has to exist, just in case. We apologise for the abrupt, formal style of some of the following, but it is really the only way to do it.

Acceptable Forum Content

• News, views and personal opinions relating to BriSCA F1 Racing are welcome , providing these are not expressed in a way which contravenes any of the Unacceptable Content rules below.
• To ensure fairness for all members, Off Topic (O/T) Items are no longer welcome on Stoxnet – all topics should be related in some way to F1 Racing. If you want to talk about anything not F1 related, please use a blog.
• Stoxnet does not carry advertisements, so please don't ask. The For Sale & Wanted Section is solely for the use of members to advertise their personal items; it is not the place to be advertising your business.
