PostgraduateForum Rules
The Postgraduate Forum is here to help current, future and previous postgraduate students to exchange ideas, get advice and generally help each other out. Posts which:
- contain personal insults
- stereotype or offend groups on the basis of ethnic origin, age or sexual orientation
- are purposelessly inflammatory
- can be interpreted as advertising or spamming
- are meaningless
- contain bad language
- are sexual in nature
- discuss illegal activities
- constitute a breach of UK libel, incitement or other laws
- advertise postgraduate courses, PhD places, Postdoctoral or other academic positions
- request scholarships, enrolment on postgraduate courses or employment of any kind
- or are otherwise deemed inappropriate by the Postgraduate Forum
will be removed without prior notice being given. The Postgraduate Forum team will
be the sole arbiter of what does and does not break these rules.
Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is
not allowed.
Private Messaging
Private Messaging must not be used for advertising, spamming or trolling. All post rules listed above also apply to Private Messages.
Removed Threads
The removed threads section contains messages which Postgraduate Forum moderators
think is unlikely to be answered or where the question is answered in other sections
of the site. Where possible a reason will be given. If you wish to reply to a message
in the removed threads section you are free to do so. Moderators will then consider
placing that thread back in the main areas of the site.

We reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the forum rules.
