Guidelines

Age range

You need to be aged between 5 and 18-years-old to take part

Privacy

To make sure your personal contact details aren't out there on the Internet for everyone to see, you must follow the rules below:

• No surnames
• No email addresses, instant messaging ID's or other website usernames (eg: Bebo, MySpace)
• No phone numbers of postal addresses
• No personal website addresses (including things like a MySpace or Bebo page)
• Messages posted using your nickname(and not your real first name) will not be published. Please do not mention your school’s name in the message boards.

To identify yourself use just your first name, and country.

Be respectful to other people

Everyone taking part has a right to express their opinion, and you should respect that, even if you strongly disagree with the ideas of some people.

Any messages breaking the following rules will not be published:

• No swearing, or obscene or insulting language
• No bigoted, hateful or racially offensive comments
• No abusive, threatening or insulting comments aimed at other users

As all messages are checked before going live, it can take a short time for your messages to appear on the site.

Express yourself and have fun

Ok, so it's not really a rule - more a friendly reminder. This online conference is a chance for you to share your ideas with people from around the world. Sure, you can sit back and read what others have to say, but its much more fun if you throw away your shyness and join in on the messageboards.
