UK Cheer Forum Terms and Conditions

The UK Cheer Forum allows people to post in real time without requiring a login. This is how UK Cheer Forums have worked historically and is something that should potentially be phased out over time. The advantages of this are an active forum, fast posting and fast responses. However, this type of forum has the potential to be abused by people who do not follow the posting guidelines.

The forum is monitored by moderators. Whilst the site encourages freedom of speech, unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated. Cyber bullying, other offensive actions and complaints will be taken seriously and investigated. This website is happy to work with anti-bullying organisations to help investigate such issues. To make contact regarding the content on this site, please email 'admin [at] ukcheersport [dot] com'.

The UK cheerleading community requests that you do not abuse the ability to post anonymously. This includes unnecessary nasty comments and personal attacks on individuals. The forum should be fun for all, not hateful.

If you would like to see this site require an account to be able to post then please set an example and use an account yourself; by posting anonymously you are voting to keep the forum open.

The content on this website is supplied by users. The content, views and opinions expressed here are not that of the site or anyone associated with running it, by using this site, users agree that they are responsible for the content they supply and will be accountable for their actions if found to be cyber bullying.

UK Cheer Forum moderation guidelines

General forum use

1) Threads must relate in some way to cheerleading, which in turn is indirectly related to the UK cheerleading community. Acceptable example: Aren't Topguns new uniforms amazing?!? Unacceptable example: Wayne Rooney shouldn't play for England.
2) Freedom of speech, personal opinion or constructive factual reviews (whether positive or negative) about groups of people, i.e. teams and organisations is acceptable. Acceptable example: Team A's stunts are so bad they don't deserve to be in level 4.

Personal identification

1) Naming individuals is acceptable regarding cheer related issues. Acceptable example: Person A is very good at tumbling but their stunting isn't good enough for level 6.
2) Unnecessary abuse of individuals is unacceptable. Unacceptable example: Person B is so fat they will never be able to back tuck.
3) Supplying information about an individual's personal life is not acceptable.
4) An extra level of privacy protection should be given to minors, those under 16 years old.

Slander

1) It is unacceptable to make unsubstantiated statements about an individual that could be damaging to their reputation. Unacceptable example: Someone told me that person A had sex with an underage cheerleader they were coaching.

Privacy & Protection

1) Event photos: Yes the password is available but think before you ask for it / post it. Whilst we want this site to provide all your cheerleading information; we don't believe a password should be available on a public forum. For privacy / child protection, posts on this topic will be removed.

Advertising

1) Naming / linking to company websites selling products online is not allowed. Unacceptable example: You can buy cheer apparel from http://www.mycheerstore.com.
2) Advertising services such as coaching, camps or competitions is allowed. Acceptable example: Check out Future Cheer's website for a list of their competitions this season.
