4. Respect designated topic areas (categories and threads) and moderator requests.

5. Excessive off-topic or pointless posts are not allowed.

8. Threats or discussion of suicide and/or self-harm are not allowed and will be removed.

9. Respect other members' identities.

10. Do not promote or endorse anti-vaccination, medicine conspiracies, or other anti-scientific misinformation about healthcare.

11. Depictions of realistic graphic violence or injury of an animal is not allowed. (This rule was introduced in August 2025 as a direct consequence of the UK's Online Safety Act).

A breach of rules 1-3 will result in an immediate ban depending on the particulars. Breach of rules 4-11 will result in a warning or a ban depending on the particulars.

If you read a post that you feel breaks one of the above rules, please report it to the moderators using the report button, do not attempt to moderate it yourself. Alternatively, just PM one of the moderators. Moderators reserve the right to move, edit, or delete posts deemed inappropriate following a breach of forum rules, without warning or notification.

Forum PM statement/rules (introduced 9th April 2018)

Only forum rules 1-3 apply to PMs. This means the PM system can be used for private off topic discussion. PMs that break forum rules 1-3, if flagged to the moderators, will be acted on accordingly.

PMs belong to the sender and recipient. The Dinosaur Toy Forum therefore holds no responsibility for private messages subsequently shared publicly on the forum, or elsewhere. Members use the forum's private message (PM) system at their own risk.
