Our community rules

WestonSuperMare.org is for everyone. These rules keep it friendly, useful and safe.

Last updated 9 November 2026. Spotted something that breaks these rules? Report content.

  1. 1. Be kind

    Disagree with ideas, not people. No bullying, harassment, threats or personal attacks.

  2. 2. No hate

    Nothing hateful about anyone's race, religion, disability, sex, sexuality, gender identity or age.

  3. 3. Keep it family-friendly

    No sexual, violent or graphic content, and no swearing aimed at others.

  4. 4. Be accurate

    Share facts you can back up. Say where information came from. Don't post rumours as news.

  5. 5. Respect privacy

    Don't post other people's addresses, phone numbers, car plates or photos of children without permission.

  6. 6. Only post photos you have the right to use

    Your own photos, or ones you have permission to share.

  7. 7. No spam or scams

    No repeated adverts, misleading links or requests for money outside our petitions.

  8. 8. Petitions and issues: facts, not accusations

    Don't name or accuse private individuals, don't share anyone's personal details, and stick to facts you can back up. Petitions and Issues & Reports posts are checked by two admins before they go live. Petitions are created by individual members - the site doesn't endorse them.

  9. 9. Nothing illegal

    Don't encourage crime, self-harm or anything that breaks the law.

How moderation works

  • Comments are closed. Members can react, vote in polls and sign petitions. Only approved accounts, verified in person or from known sources, can post.
  • Every post gets an automatic safety check before it appears. If the check flags it, or can't run, it waits for a person to review it.
  • Anyone signed in can report a post using the Report button. Reports are private.
  • Our moderators may hide, edit for safety, or remove content that breaks these rules, and may suspend accounts that keep breaking them.
  • We keep a record of every moderation decision.

Think we got it wrong?

If your post was held or removed, you can ask us to look again. A different person will review it where possible.
