    Purpose
    This policy sets out the guiding principles in relation to Junior Membership, to ensure that the privacy and safety of all Junior Members is paramount at all times.

    Junior Members are those persons who are under 13 years of age who apply for and are accepted as Members on Platform 1 MRC.

    Platform 1 MRC is a family-oriented model railway forum that wishes to impart information on to the next generation to ensure the hobby of model railways lasts for years to come.

    Platform 1 MRC also recognises that there are dangers inherent in the use of Social Media by children and has therefore created the membership level known as “Junior Member” in an effort to limit those risks on this forum.

    Policy
    * These Rules are subject to change at anytime and without notice.

    * Any persons under 13 years of age who wish to apply for membership will only be accepted as Junior Members.

    * All Junior Members must have a direct family member or legal guardian who is also a Member of Platform 1 MRC (hereafter called the “responsible adult”).

    * It is the responsibility of the responsible adult to supervise the Junior Member while participating in all areas of the forum. All information posted by Junior Member is the responsibility of the responsible adult who should educate the Junior Member on the types of personal information which should not be posted.

    * Platform 1 MRC Moderators have the right to delete any posts made by the Junior Member which they feel are inappropriate or which divulge any information they deem as personal.

    * The privacy and safety of our Junior Members is the priority of all Members. Moderators have the right to delete any post which may be deemed inappropriate, offensive or vulgar in any area accessible to Junior Members.

    * Platform 1 MRC will ensure the privacy and safety of Junior Members as below:

    - Platform 1 will not divulge or make public any personal information of Junior Members including date of birth, phone number and address which it is given at the time of application.

    - Platform 1 will limit the areas able to be viewed by Junior Members as it sees fit to ensure that only appropriate content is viewed.

    - Any suspicious or unacceptable posting or behaviour by Junior Members will result in their membership being suspended until the moderators are able to speak to the responsible adult and resolve any issues.

    - No Junior Members will have access to Private Messaging facilities.

    - No Junior Member is to have an email linked to their membership which is different to that of their responsible adult.

    * Any issues or queries should be raised with the Platform 1 MRC Founder via a PM.

    Reads good to me and Yvonne overlooked it as well. She gives the thumbs up. :thumbs:

    Now, all you need to do now is change the date I don't want everyone knowing what I was doing on Valentines Day ! :avatar:

    Cheers, Gary.
