1. Be respectful of your fellow posters
We wish to encourage all posters to remember we have an open inclusive and family orientated policy. Therefore we encourage posters not to post or make:
· Personal attacks including abusive, defamatory, threatening or intimidating posts
· Trolling or targeting other posters with intent to provoke
- East End Bounce respectfully request that personal conversations be conducted via the available personal messenger facility rather than within threads
· East End Bounce will also not tolerate any posts that are sexist, homophobic or racially offensive
· The use of unnecessary swearing & explicit language will invite the attention of the moderators.
2. Poster responsibility
All posters on "East End Bounce" are accountable for what they post (check before you send!) "East End Bounce" will not be held liable for the views expressed by posters. However posts considered libellous and detrimental to "East End Bounce" will be removed and an explanation will be provided to the poster by admin.
3. Reporting Abuse
There is a facility to report abusive posters. Please remember that board moderators are not available 24/7 and do not read every post therefore your co-operation is appreciated. Moderators will remove posts considered offensive but an explanation will be provided.

Abusive, insulting posts targeting DAFC players, management, employees and board are unnecessary and are not helpful to the club we support. However constructive criticism can be warranted and is allowed. Equally the posting of rumours are not a basis of fact. Any such posts which could be harmful to the business of DAFC and any of it's players, management of staff may be deleted.

This forum and site is intended to provide a fun, online community, whilst observing rules which will serve to keep it's members safe. As "East End Bounce" grows and develops so will the rules. Please bear with us if we get it wrong - we are all full-time Pars fans with families, commitments and work to do as well as making this the number one UNOFFICIAL website for Pars fans.
