5. All posts must be in English.
Perhaps in due time we could have some international forums :) Not for a while through.
Good set off rules. Must of taken you ages to write that up.
good job but you might want to expand on the copyright thing a bit. Mention "fair usage" i.e. they cannot post the entirety of an article but only a portion (usually less than 1/3) unless permission is granted for the entire article to be used. All quotes MUST be cited and if in doubt about citation please contact a moderator,
How to describe Australian politics? Perhaps this quote from former Prime Minister Paul Keating:-
"Mr Speaker can I have some protection from the clowns on the front bench ?"

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Sounds very reasonable... and clear. Hope you mods will be cognizant of the fact that more forums fail due to heavy-handed moderation than the presence of irksome posters. So far, things seem to be fairly balanced here... hope it stays that way. ;)
Can we assume that this doesn't include common phrases or words such as "Adios" and "C'est la vie" as long as the main content of the post is in English?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. -- Edmund Burke
Yes, phrases are fine.
@Benjamin,
The idea of it is that we, as moderators, are unable to moderate foreign posts. We don't know what they say, therefore cannot remove invalid content. If we happen to have a bilingual staff member in the future, a forum in another language may be viable.

Yeah, I know :P

just what would you consider an off-post comment ??
SmartMouthWoman , it seems to me that we have landed in a lily pond of tadpoles that are trying their best to be bull frogs , but they ain't got the kahanoos to fake a deep voice... if you take my meaning..

How many posts are required before a newbie can vote in polls, add avatars, signature lines etc.?
Appears to be a great forum, a little tighter controlled than what I am used to (can you tell?), but nice.
