just a reminder of the site rules to do with accidents

Discussing accidents:

1) If the incident resulted in death, no talking about the specifics of the accident should be discussed until after the funeral attribute thread is fine, however no specifics. There will however be a 24 hour blanket on all discussions of the subject, this will ensure all family has been informed etc. Then the tribute thread can be posted.

2) If the event involves serious injury, then any comments will be removed until after the Police have notified next of kin and the moderators have confirmation of this.

3) The Administrators and Moderators reserve the right to remove a thread.

4) Any non death or serious injury threads, so general “biker down” threads are OK, but moderators will keep a close eye on them. We request respect is kept in these discussions. Any non appropriate comments will be removed.

5) Any accident that happens at a public gathering is fair comment, subject to points 1 and 2.

6) Anybody who posts fiction or malicious speculation, will have their comment deleted and will receive strong censure from the Administrators or Senior Moderators of the site.
