(The following is an update to our @U2 Forum Rules.)

About the @U2 Forum

Registration is free. You may view most forum messages without registering, but some parts of the forum are open to registered members only. In addition, registration is required to actively take part in any discussion. Some members-only sections of the forum may have a more specific set of rules that apply in addition to the rules listed below.

By registering, you agree to abide by the rules and policies listed here or in other areas of the forum.

We have several moderators who are here to help users and make sure everyone is playing nicely; they're also here to enjoy and take part in the discussions on the boards as regular fans.

We don't review messages before they're posted. However, all users and moderators are able to review and report questionable messages. Messages that are deemed to not meet the guidelines of this forum may be edited or removed at our discretion. If we all work to keep the forum running smoothly, it will be more enjoyable for everyone. Neither @U2 nor our hosting provider will be held responsible for the content of any message.

Our Common Sense Rules

By registering, you agree that you will not post any message that is obscene, vulgar, hateful, threatening, inflammatory, disrespectful, or otherwise violates any laws. In other words: Be nice. Respect other users, respect the moderators, and respect the forum system. Personal attacks and flaming will not be tolerated. Foul language is automatically filtered and should be avoided.

Use discretion when posting a message. This forum is read by thousands of U2 fans every day from around the world. What you say will be seen and read by many. It will likely show up in Google and other search engines. To borrow from Hollywood's content rating system, we expect this forum to remain PG-rated.

Respect U2 and their associates. Discussions that venture too far into the band members' personal / family matters will be considered inappropriate and removed from the forum.

Nicknames and avatars that we consider to be rude, inflammatory, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate will be deleted.

Unsolicited advertising is not permitted. The administrator and moderators are solely responsible for determining what constitutes an advertisement.

Be descriptive and succinct in your messages, including your Subject titles. Don't post a message titled "I heard the new U2 album" as an attention-getter unless that's what your post is actually about.

Post your messages to the appropriate Topic. We realize discussions often go in a variety of directions. When a discussion begins to change substantially from its original content, please continue by starting a new discussion (in a different Topic/Subject if necessary). We reserve the right to edit or move discussions that veer too far off-topic.

Do not cross-post your message to multiple Topics. Find what you think is the most appropriate place to post, and post your message once. If we feel a message has been posted in the wrong place, we may move it.

Post your messages in English. While we are glad to have members from around the globe, the use of a common language helps ensure that the forum runs smoothly.

Forum rules and moderation are not a topic for public discussion. If you have questions or concerns about the rules or how the forum is moderated, please email us and we will do our best to reply when appropriate.

@U2 retains the right to remove, edit, or move any message for any reason.

Your failure to follow the rules of the forum may result in permanent or temporary termination of your access to the forum. If you are banned, we may invite you to request that your account be reinstated after a fixed amount of time. In those cases, we will email the address associated with the banned account to inform you when you may request to rejoin the forum.

These rules may be modified from time to time, with revisions to be announced on this page. Continued access of the Forum by you will constitute your acceptance of any changes or revisions to the these rules and policies.

Thanks again for being part of our forum community and following these rules!
