Forum Rules

The Ireland Question Forum is a place to discuss Northern Ireland's place in the United Kingdom. It is pro-Union by purpose, and respectful disagreement is welcome.

The rules

  1. Be civil. Argue the point, not the person.
  2. No hate. No abuse of anyone because of their religion, community background, nationality, race, sex, sexuality or disability. Sectarian abuse will be removed.
  3. No threats or violence. No threats, intimidation, or praise or support for violence, terrorism or any proscribed organisation, from any side.
  4. No personal information. Do not post anyone's address, workplace, phone number or private photos. Doing so leads to a ban.
  5. Nothing illegal. Illegal content is removed and may be reported to the PSNI or other authorities.
  6. No spam, advertising or pretending to be someone else.
  7. Back up your claims. Link to sources where you can.
  8. You must be 18 or over to join.
