Ceroc Scotland Forum - Registration

Welcome

This forum is a place for adults to talk about dancing and the community around it. You must be at least 18 years old to register or use an account. If you are under 18, please do not register or post. Please be considerate of members from different backgrounds. Some older attachments are not currently available.

Looking after each other

Do not bully, threaten, harass, exploit or impersonate anyone. Do not share another person’s private information or photographs without the necessary permission. Do not send spam, scams, malicious links or unlawful material.

Never share sexual images of anyone under 18 or ask a child for sexual images. Do not post pornography or content that encourages or instructs suicide, self-harm or eating disorders. Respectful discussion seeking help is different from encouraging harm. Do not use the forum to arrange or promote abuse of children, terrorism or other illegal activity.

You are responsible for what you post. Before sharing a picture, video, quotation or other material, make sure you have the right to share it. Respect people’s privacy, especially in photographs taken at events.

If someone is making you uncomfortable, stop engaging and report it. You can turn off private messages from ordinary members in your personal preferences; administrators and moderators can still contact you. The forum does not currently promise that its foe list stops an individual sending a private message.

Reports and decisions

Use the report button beside a post or private message where available. Reporting a private message makes its contents available to moderators for review. You can also email forum@cerocscotland.com with a link or description. Guests can use the report-by-email link where offered. Do not send or forward suspected illegal images as evidence.

Posts reported using the forum’s report button are normally held automatically from ordinary public view while they are reviewed; the post is not deleted. Reports sent by email do not trigger an automatic hold. A restricted AI assistant, Tilly, may help with public-post reports. Franck handles reports from private forums and private messages. Automated checks are planned at intervals and will not provide emergency or continuous monitoring.

The forum operator will review reports and take appropriate action. This may include hiding or removing content, restricting an account or referring a matter to an appropriate authority. We aim to act promptly on illegal material identified, including terrorism content, child sexual exploitation and abuse material, and other priority illegal content.

If you disagree with a moderation decision, or are unhappy with how a report was handled, email forum@cerocscotland.com and explain the decision or report. Franck will review your complaint.

Your account and privacy

Keep your password private and do not use another person’s account. The privacy notice explains what information the forum holds and how to contact us. Do not put your address, phone number or other sensitive details in a public post. People can copy or quote information that you publish.

Urgent help

If someone is in immediate danger in the UK, call 999. For concerns about online child sexual exploitation or grooming, see CEOP. To report suspected online child sexual abuse images, see the Internet Watch Foundation. Do not download, forward or request copies of suspected illegal images.
