• To keep our online community members safe, please do not use a picture of yourself or any other image that could identify you.

8. I’d like to recommend a service or ask for research participants, is this allowed? 
 

• Users are welcome to recommend useful services or provide helpful links for other community users. However, accounts should not be created primarily to advertise or sell products and services. Accounts adding SPAM links to new or old posts will be banned or deleted. 

• Users should only create research posts or posts requesting research participants if permission has been given for this purpose. Requests for research study subjects or surveys should be sent to contact@liamtheteacher.com
   

9. Can I block another user? 
 

• Blocking other users is not an option in the online community. We encourage all our users to try and resolve any disagreements themselves where possible. 

• If another user is being abusive, please report them by first taking a screenshot of or link to the post, private message or comment (when and where possible) and then reporting the abuse via contact@liamtheteacher.com with the screenshot attached with a brief description/overview. This will flag the comment for the administrator. 
   

10. What happens if I report another user? 
 

• The reported post, message or comment will be placed in an administrator queue to be checked by the administrator. They may contact you to find out why you have reported the post, message or comment, please respond within 2 working days or your report may be deleted.  

• If the user reported is found to be breaking online community rules, their post or comment may be edited or removed and we may contact the user in some cases. 

• Our adminstrators are unable to discuss details of any action taken which relates to another user. 

​

11. How do I send a personal message to another user? 
 

• To send a personal message to another user, click on their [user name] and click "Message" at the top of their profile page. 

• If you receive messages that break our online community rules, please contact contact@liamtheteacher.com for advice. 
   

12. Should I arrange to meet another user or link in with them on social media? 

​

• Sometimes online community members become friends and may like to meet one another in person or have contact with them on a different social media platform. 

• If you’d like to meet or keep in touch with another user, please take care and make others aware for your own protection. 

• If another user is pushing you in to meeting or communicating and you are uncomfortable about this, please contact our administrators at contact@liamtheteacher.com for assistance. 
   

13. How can I edit or delete a post or comment? 
 

• If you wish to delete a post or comment, then once logged in, go to the forum you have posted or commented in, and scroll to your post or comment. Then click on the [three dots] at the top right of the post or comment, then click on "Edit" or "Delete".
   

14. What happens if someone posts something worrying? 
 

• If we have concerns about a member of our online community due to a post they have created or comments they make, our administrator will reply to the post or comment. In some cases, we may contact the user directly. 

• If you have concerns about a member of our online community, please report them by contacting contact@liamtheteacher.com including a link to and/or screenshot of their comment or post. Please note, our online community is not moderated 24/7 and it may take a while for us to respond to any concerns.  

• If an administrator has not responded to a specific post, it does not necessarily mean that they are not aware of the situation or have not taken action. There can be a number of reasons for this. For instance, in certain circumstances, the administrator may need to contact a member directly and follow our safeguarding policy and process. If this happens, it will not always be publicly posted on the community thread as we need to protect the member's privacy. 
   

15. Who are the administrators? 
 

• Our administrators are made up of volunteers. 

• You can recognise one of our administrators as they have the Liam The Teacher logo and "Liam The Teacher" as or in their username. 

• Please remember that the administrators are real people, who are volunteers. Their role is to make sure users follow the online community rules and to make sure the environment is supportive and welcoming.
