The Forum “A Trieste” was born to talk about our city, make it to be known, learn more about it and it’s open to all, residents and non-residents, immigrants, and those who live far away but keep Trieste close to their hearts.

The running of the Forum is the responsibility of a group of people who are supervising the activities on a voluntary basis and take care of the maintenance. Suggestions and proposals made with a spirit of cooperation will always be welcome, whether they refer to features of the Forum that these Rules.

These Rules will use words with the meaning we specify below.

The term subscriber or user is a person identified by a email address, a nick name (nickname public identifier) and a password (secret keyword known only to you).

The term moderator means a registered user who has administrator rights and can access at any time any given post, modify it, block it, delete it and move it. The decisions of a moderator is usually audited by the entire group of moderators which, if necessary, act by a majority. Moderators may request, for reasons of security, the change of passwords of other users. They are unable, however, to connect to the Forum using the identity of another user, unless he deliberately chose to provide his password and ask for help.

The term netiquette refers to a set of rules to be followed by the user in relation to other users and resources. For a more detailed definition please refer to http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette .

The term flame means a post deliberately provocative and hostile, often intended to cause reactions by others.

The term post indicates a message sent to the forum for publication.

The term topic means a group of posts characterized by a common theme. The sequence of posts in a topic is sometimes called thread.

The term off topic, often summarized by the acronym OT, is a message whose content is beyond the point in discussion.

The term forum refers to a virtual container for topics related to the fact that deal with issues in common. That same term, however, with the first letter capitalized, Forum, also indicates the entire container at http://www.atrieste.eu/Forum3

The term section is a group of forums characterized by a degree of uniformity on content or access permissions.

The term phpBB refers to the software to create communities and released under the “General Public License” (hereinafter “GPL”) and downloadable at http://www.phpbb.com. For further information about phpBB, please visit http://www.phpbb.com/ .

Cookies are small information that phpBB can store on your computer and help identify you on subsequent visits or, simply, when you navigate from page to page.

When you subscribe to http://www.atrieste.eu/Forum3 (hereinafter “we”, “our”, “Trieste,” aTrieste“), you agree to be legally bound by the following terms. If you do not agree to be legally bound by the terms of use, you are encouraged not to use the services offered by “a Trieste”. Conditions of Use may change at any time, we will notify you of these changes, although it is advisable to check these pages frequently for any changes, since the continued use of services “a Trieste” implies the complete acceptance of these conditions.

Registration for the Forum includes the automatic acceptance of its rules. The intellectual property rules are extended, however, to anyone wishing to use the contents of the forum, though not registered.

Good manners, even in the form of netiquette, should be sufficient to ensure a peaceful and smooth operation, but it is better to specify the following rules:

Are unacceptable and therefore prohibited messages that contain:

• abuses, profanity and insults directed at both individuals and racial, linguistic, political or other grups.
• all messages that violate or incite to violate the laws
• apologies of totalitarian regimes
• expressions and statements written in order to create flame wars between users
• commercial promotions, pornographic messages, hacking, unsolicited email (the latter messages are removed immediately, and so the inscription of posters)

If a moderator finds that a post violates these standards, is authorized to remove the message and move it to a reserved area (quarantine). The mod team will then decide whether to restore the message, delete or modify. The group also will decide if further measures will be taken towards the author of the post. Usually, the author will be notified privately and/or publicly of the measures taken.

In case of violation of specific legal rules we reserve the right to make complaints to competent authorities.

We don’t accept the so-called cross-posting, or insert the same message in different forum sections: moderators will retain one of the posts and erase the other, without notice. Repeated cross-posting may result in termination of your membership.

Moderators reserve the right to move messages deemed OT in a more convenient forum, to facilitate the retrieval of messages and information. Authors may be informed of such an action. This notice is not, however, compulsory.

Privacy: Users agree not to disclose data such as phone numbers, email addresses photos of others without obtaining their consent.

If users violate the above rules, the moderators reserve to apply, and completely at their discretion, the following sanctions:

1. Private Warning (advice to change behavior)
2. Public Reprimand
3. Suspension for one day
4. Suspension for a week
5. Expulsion from the forums

Moderators are not obliged to follow the entire progression and, in particular, when faced with particularly abusive behaviour may decide the immediate expulsion from the forum.

It is possible, in case of sanctions, to “appeal” by contacting the moderators with private messages or explanation in the forum section called “Proteste, ricorsi, petizioni”.

We encourage you to notify administrator and moderators via private message to possible breaches of rules.

We invite users to not react to provocations, not to feed flames and not to use the forum to exchange private views.

After it was sent, a post is editable by the author for a few minutes, the time to detect a material error and correct it. After that user non moderator cannot delete or edit his own messages: hence, before sending a message is recommended to always use the Preview function. (This limitation will prevent, for instance, that a so called user A publishes a post, which the user B refers to and, afterward, user A changes the original post. That would render meaningless the reference and may generate misunderstanding).

Typing errors can be corrected automatically by the moderators and you may ask them to change the formal aspects of the message. For substantial changes, you must contact the moderators.

We reserve the right to inform users’ access provider and / or competent legal authorities of behaviour that does not comply with our rules. The IP address of any user is logged to help and enforce these conditions.

Each subscription must be individual, multiple entries are not allowed even if supported by different email addresses: if discovered, these entries will be immediately deleted.

A user can be deleted by decision of the moderators or upon request.

Usually the posts of a deleted user will remain on the forum with the original nickname. The nickname of a user who requested the cancellation returns available to anyone who wishes to apply: in that case, different authors with same nicknames will be clearly identified from the different graphics used to record data of the authors of posts.
