10. You agree to use EnglishYogi forums and communities in accordance with the following Rules. These apply across all EnglishYogi community sites and services.
(i) About your posts:
Contributions must be civil and tasteful. No disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour: contributions must be constructive and polite, not mean-spirited or contributed with the intention of causing trouble. No unlawful or objectionable content: unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, racially offensive, casteist, or otherwise objectionable material is not acceptable. Be patient: users of all ages and abilities may be taking part in the relevant EnglishYogi community. No spamming or off-topic material: we don’t allow the submission of the same or very similar contributions many times. Please don’t re-submit your contribution to more than one discussion, or contribute off-topic material in subject-specific areas. No advertising or promoting. Contributions containing languages other than English may be removed. No impersonation. No inappropriate (e.g. vulgar, offensive etc) user names. URLs (web site addresses) can only be posted if they do not violate the rules listed here. Deliberate misuse of the complaints facility is not permitted. If you persist in doing this, action may be taken against your account.
(ii) Your EnglishYogi Account:
If you use multiple logins for the purpose of disrupting a community or annoying other users you may have action taken against all of your accounts. All accounts must be registered with a valid personal email address that you access regularly so that moderation emails can be sent to you. Accounts registered with someone else’s email address, or with temporary email addresses may be closed without notice. We may require users to re-validate their account if we believe they have been using an invalid email address. EnglishYogi reserves the right to close accounts if any user is seen to be using proxy IPs (Internet Protocol addresses) in order to attempt to hide the use of multiple EnglishYogi accounts, or if a non-registered user pretends to be a registered user, or disrupts any of our services in any way.
(iii) Safety:
We advise that you never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example: telephone number, postal address, home address or email address or any other details that would allow you to be personally identified) in any EnglishYogi forum or community.
(iv) Legal requirements:
You may not submit or share any defamatory or illegal material of any nature in EnglishYogi communities. This includes text, graphics, video, programs or audio. Contributing material to a EnglishYogi community with the intention of committing or promoting an illegal act is strictly prohibited. You agree to submit to or share with EnglishYogi communities only contributions which are your own original work. You must not violate, plagiarise, or infringe the rights of EnglishYogi or third parties including copyright, trade mark, trade secrets, privacy, publicity, personal or proprietary rights.

Please get a parent’s or guardian’s permission before taking part in any EnglishYogi forum or community. Never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example, school, telephone number, your full name, home address or email address).
(vi) If you breach these Community Rules:
If you fail to abide by these Community Rules (and/or any variations in relevant local house rules) when taking part in a EnglishYogi community, you will be sent an email which informs you why your contribution has been refused or edited. This email will also include a warning that continuing to break the rules may result in action being taken against your account or accounts. This action may include any content posted by you being checked before allowed to go on the site or a temporary or permanent suspension of your ability to participate in any or all of EnglishYogi community areas. If you submit or share offensive or inappropriate content to or with any EnglishYogi communities or anywhere else on EnglishYogi or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on EnglishYogi, and EnglishYogi considers such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated, EnglishYogi may use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop any further such infringements. This may include informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school or email provider about the infringement(s). EnglishYogi reserves the right to delete any contribution, or take action against any EnglishYogi account, at any time, for any reason.
