It has come to our attention that the old thread that allowed queries about what to do at SFFWorld is broken, thanks to various Forum changes over the years; so I thought I'd better rewrite a newer one.

This notice shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Norwegian law. If any provision of this notice shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
These are rather longwinded, we know, although these days sadly needed.
But the main points are:
That this is a moderated website and you agree to that when you sign up;
As a result, any material deemed inappropriate by the Staff/Owner will be removed;
Any Member similarly (it rarely happens, but when it does it can be without warning or notice.)
Politics and religion are usually not to be discussed here unless it is in the context of a book/film/TV series etc.
Promotion material for your own work should go in the Promotion Zone;
Filling the Forums with multiple copies of the same post or promotional material may lead to a member's removal;
AI work is generally not accepted.
I may have to add to this later if there's anything really obvious I've missed out, but generally, be nice and respectful to staff and other Forum members; if it sounds wrong, it probably is!
And lastly (for now), If you're not sure, please ask! (You can post below here for any general enquiries.)
Thank you, everyone. (And thank you to @Amberwolf for pointing this out!)
