General Rules of AngloINFO Discussions

AngloINFO Discussions, just one of AngloINFO Costa Blanca's many services, allow the site's users to support each other by asking and answering questions about life in the region.

You do not need to be a registered member to view postings in the Discussions but you are required to register or login if you wish to make a posting. By registering, you agree to follow AngloINFO's Terms of Use.

In order to make this a useful and supportive place for as many of our users as possible we ask our members to comply with a set of basic guidelines as follows:

Posting Style and Format

• Please always be sure to post your thread in the right category. If we think your thread belongs in another category we may move it. Duplicate posts in multiple categories are not permitted.
• AngloINFO’s language of communication is exclusively English
• Give threads subject titles which are clear and concise – it helps people to know what is being discussed
• Avoid use of excessive punctuation, capital letters (SHOUTING) or inappropriate language
• Replies to a posting should always follow the original topic.  If you want to discuss something else, please start a new thread (off-topic posts will be removed).
• Repeated/duplicate Discussions will be removed.

Content of Postings

• Postings should be local and relevant to the AngloINFO Costa Blanca region.  If you want to discuss a non-local topic with your fellow AngloINFO Costa Blanca members please use the Non-local category.
• Hate speech, aggression or intolerance, racist remarks, and vulgarity are not permitted
• Postings must not breach any local or international laws
