Brexit and political comments - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Paul Stenning · 20th Feb 2016, 8:29 pm

With the EU referendum date announced and campaigning started, we would like to remind everyone that these forums are a POLITICS FREE ZONE.

Therefore members are not permitted to post any comments or opinions on this issue (or any other political matter). This is not just in posts but everywhere on the website including signatures, avatars and profiles etc.

Please be especially careful in threads that mention EU legislation as these are where opinions on the referendum are more likely to be inadvertently expressed.

The mod team will be keeping a look out for anything that violates this, and as always we are grateful to members who report anything untoward they may see.

Hopefully we can all enjoy the lack of politics here and regard it as an escape to talk about vintage technology - which is probably more interesting and enjoyable!

Thank you,
Paul and the mod team

Just a quick reminder of this as we enter the final fortnight of campaigning. We have had very few problem posts over the last few months and hopefully it will continue that way.

Thanks everyone.

Just a quick reminder that this still applies post-referendum and through the processes over the weeks and months ahead.

Thank you.

A further reminder following today's General Election announcement, that discussions about Brexit, the forthcoming General Election and anything else political are not welcome or appropriate here.

Please see post #1 for more details.

This forum is a politics free zone - a place to escape and discuss vintage technology etc. Let's keep it that way.

Thank you.

Bumping this.

Another bump.

We won't tolerate racism either.

Bumping this again.

Just bumping this again. We haven't had any problems here recently but with the current activity this seemed a good time for a gentle reminder.

Paul Stenning · 9th Dec 2018, 12:26 pm

Yet another reminder. I have had to close a thread this morning...

Bump!

Don't think you can get away with it by posting in a foreign language.

Bump! Two posts deleted or edited so far today.
