The rules & terms have now been moved to a proper Help page, please find this here. The link is also in the footer area of every page on the VV forum website.
This post contains the old rules & terms, and will be kept for reference.

MEMBERSHIP RULES
Some forums have additional rules or guidelines which are posted within the particular forums, so please read these before you post there. (See e.g. the guidelines for the Debate forum.)
Note that new members can't post URLs. Such URLs will be automatically hidden by the software.
It is assumed that all members behave in a civilised manner, but also that we're not overly sensitive. If this proves to be a problem for anyone, a staff member will attempt to assist. As a last resort we will consider temporary or permanent banishment.
Moderation will be enforced based on the "best effort" principle.
ACCESS TO MEMBERS-ONLY FORUMS
This board has a couple of forums that are only accessible to members. The moderators will not allow anyone access to these forums unless they have posted an intro thread and have become an established member. Access to a few of the forums are given at the moderators' discretion only. To gain access to the private forums (except The VIP Club) you need to join the corresponding user groups.

MEMBERSHIP RULES
- You must either a) adhere to a flavour of vegetarianism or b) you must be transitioning to such a diet or lifestyle. Vegetarianism excludes the consumption of animal flesh. (Note that non-members can ask questions in the Ask Us a Question forum.)
- You must be at least 13 Earth-years old.
- Don't share your account with others. The account is personal, i.e. for one person, and it's not for companies. You can only have one account at any time.
- Don't use your account mainly for promotion of web sites, web pages, products, companies, or organizations. If you wish to promote a veg*n-friendly product or company, please post this in The Bazaar forum. (This forum is only visible when logged in.)
- Don't cross-post content into multiple threads. While posts / topics can sometimes fit into multiple threads / categories, we ask that you choose only one so as to keep all of the conversation in one place. If you need help deciding, please talk to a mod.
- Don't argue or debate in The Vegan Forum or The Vegetarian Forum unless you identify with the respective lifestyles. These forums are lifestyle support areas.
- Don't post any illegal content.
- Don't engage in name-calling or ad hominem attacks against fellow members or ex-members, and don't click the "Like" button on posts with such content.
- Don't post information from private conversations anywhere unless you have been given permission to do so.
