Moderation

The Board is not moderated.

Use of the Board by minors

The use of the Board by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian.  We advise parents who permit their children to use the Board that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online.  Minors who are using the Board should be made aware of the potential risks to them and of their obligation to comply with these Rules when using the Board.

We will do our best to assess any possible risks to minors from third parties when they use the Board, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks.
