a) User Name - User names must be recognizable names or nicknames - cdky_fu, or similar will not be accepted.
b) E-mail Address - Personal email addresses only to be used, Company email addresses, especially those linked to commercial sales sites are not acceptable.
c) Birth Date - A correct date of birth is to be given. The request to join date is not acceptable. Birth dates may be hidden, if desired, but will be checked for viability.
d) Biography - Biography means just that. Limited details of gender, and salient personal facts should be given. E.G. Male, mechanic, nearing retirement.
e) Location means what it says. Potential users giving location as 'XXX', when our routine check shows them living in 'YYY' will not be authorised.
f) Interests - Interests should give some indication of the users interests. E.G. Biking, fine food, ancient buildings etc., etc..
g) Occupation - Occupation may be given (preferred) or left blank. 'Retired' is acceptable as an occupation. 'Retired ex-IT Manager' is even more explanatory.
No one will be authorised until the above information is given to an acceptable standard.
