Community Guidelines

 

Welcome to the Gulf Stay Community!

Gulf Stay is a fun, friendly and relaxed community. In order to keep it sane, we need to have a few ground rules to make sure people are comfortable hanging out here.

Remember, Gulf Stay is for people of all ages, nationalities, cultures and religions so please bear in mind the following rules:

• Do not use swearing or strong language in your posts.
• Do not create topics or posts that criticize, bully or insult other Gulf Stay members, and do not flame (e.g. provoke other KuwaitStay member into arguments) or impersonate other people. If you wish to make a complaint against another Gulf Stay member, please use the "Report Abuse" form on the Contact page.
• Do not respond to people who post something insulting or who are "trolling" – instead, just ignore them and they will go away.
• Don’t post anything that could be perceived as illegal or offensive (i.e. racist, pornographic, sexist, obscene, profane, vulgar, derogatory, hateful or threatening).
• Stay on topic and do not hijack threads or post off-topic comments. Start a new forum topic or send a private message if you are in doubt.
• Do not bring personal disputes onto the site. If you find that your discussion is becoming too heated or someone is becoming far too passionate about their argument, please take the discussion to private message or email.
• If you are not interested in a topic or think someone is asking a silly question, just move onto another post instead of insulting or mocking them.
• It is never acceptable to reveal a members real name or post their picture on Gulf Stay unless they have consented.
• Do not post chain letters, solicitations or pyramid schemes.
• Do not post messages which support or condone any illegal activities, such as drug use, piracy or warez.
• Do not post anything that could be considered libelous or defamatory or illegal in UAE.
• Please don’t post any copyrighted material to Gulf Stay
• If you wish to advertise your website or business please you can do so by visiting this page. Do NOT post such adverts to the Free Classifieds, your user signature or avatar or any other section of this site. This applies to the promotion of any websites or forums similar in nature to GulfStay.
• Private Messages are meant to be private. Please do not re-post private messages publicly. If someone is abusing the Private Messaging system please use the abuse form to report them.
• Access to internet in UAE is behind a content filter. While we respect the right to free speech, any content that could lead to this site being filtered will be removed without notice.
• Finally, think before you post! You are responsible for what you post so before you hit enter, ask yourself if this is something you would say to someone in real life.

If any of the rules guidelines are broken, either intentionally or by accident, our moderators will either edit or remove your post.

You can help us keep Gulf Stay a friendly place by reporting abuse and spamming by going to the "Report Abuse" form on the Contact page.

 The moderators of this site reserve all right to moderate this website as required in order to enforce the above guidelines.
