Forum rules

Keep it friendly, keep it about beer. The short set of rules every member agrees to, and how moderation works. Last updated: November 2026.

This forum is for people who like beer and want to talk about it. Keep it friendly, keep it about beer, and you will be fine. The short version:

  1. Be civil. Disagree with the beer, not the person. No insults, slurs, harassment or hate speech, in any language.
  2. No adult or offensive content. Images are not allowed in posts. Links to adult, violent or illegal content are removed and the account is banned.
  3. No self-promotion outside the Promote Your Brewery board. One thread per brewery, shop or brand, kept up to date in that thread. Promotion in replies elsewhere is removed. Affiliate links are not allowed anywhere.
  4. Links. New members cannot post links. After ten approved posts you may include one link per post, where it helps the discussion.
  5. Drink responsibly. You must be of legal drinking age in your country to take part. We do not allow content that encourages excessive drinking or drinking and driving.
  6. Stay on topic and use the right board. Search before starting a new topic; duplicates are merged.
  7. Your first posts are reviewed before they appear. This usually takes less than a day. It is how we keep the forum free of spam.

Moderation

Use the Report link on any post to flag it. Moderators may edit, move or delete posts, and may warn, mute or ban accounts. We work on a three-step basis: a warning, a seven-day mute, then a ban. Spam, hate speech and adult content skip the steps.
