Notice to Forum Members
I have noticed that the standards of the forum have been slipping and this needs to be rectified, hence this notice.
The main area that I am very concerned about is the negative comments about people, especially bushcraft teachers and personalities. This must stop. I have had to edit or delete a number of comments that should never have been posted. Do not make comments of a personal nature about anyone. I am not saying that you cannot banter between yourselves as friends. But that is a far cry from making remarks that negatively reflect on other people. Please respect people and the things they do even if you have a different opinion.
To summarise
Do not make negative remarks, participate in gossip or hearsay on this forum in reference to any persons. If you feel the need to do so, do it somewhere else. If you cannot resist doing it on this forum you will be banned.
People also need to refrain from stating things as fact when they are untrue, badly researched, assumption or personal opinion. If you have an opinion, idea or theory you are free to voice it. But do not make it sound like anything other than what it is. If you do state something as fact, make sure it is.
Bushcraft UK does not check the validity of the information posted on this site and it cannot, or the contributors to this forum cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or omissions.
Outdoor activities and the use of specialist equipment such as knives, carry a risk. Take all necessary precautions and if you are in any doubt, seek expert advice.
Please also remember that you must stay inside the law. We do not condone any law breaking activity.
For further information please read the Rules and Regs.
