The aim of this board is to provide a forum for Blues fans around the world to discuss matters relating to the club as well any general topics of interest they have (within reason).

However, as with any message board and in order for it to run smoothly, there are certain rules which need to be adhered to.

By registering for the board you agree to abide by the rules which are detailed below.

If you do not agree with them or indeed with the way this board is moderated you should consider using other Blues message boards instead! There are plenty of them out there and details can be found here Please remember using this message board is a privilege NOT a right!

1) Treat your fellow posters with the respect that you yourself would hope to be treated. That means no derogatory posts aimed at other users.

2) Racist posts are unacceptable.

3) Please avoid bad language and themes of a sexual nature - This board is used by people of all ages.

4) No posts advocating hooliganism.

5) No spamming (that includes such things as advertising commercial ventures or other message boards) without the EXPRESS permission of one of this board's administators. We are happy to allow links to the likes of MySpace or Bebo on the understanding that they do not contain adult material.

6) No repeatedly posting responses to your own messages to 'bump' your thread back up the board.

7) No text speak! Many users find this way of communicating irritating. Text speak should be saved for your mobile phones. Posts in text speak will be deleted.

20) Users should try not to start multiple threads on the same topic. If this happens admin may well move these other threads into the original.
