What do we want from this site?


• PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
  
  To record eye witness testimony of any UFO Sighting, the person who saw it, writing an account of what they saw on our forums. We have reserved an entire forum for this precise target material. Look at the top forum listed "UFO SIGHTINGS" - this is reserved for eye witness testimony ONLY. NEW TOPICS started by anybody who is not recording eye witness material will be MOVED to other areas of the sight without notice or warning.
  
  
  
• SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
  
  To promote a coming together of people who do not seek to deride any other member for what they believe, particularly as to the existence or otherwise of UFOs. We want a community of people who can discuss many other subjects without casting ridicule upon any key members who are known to support or not support the existence of UFOs. Basically we welcome ALL. Whether you believe in UFOs or not BUT show respect to all other members on here and get along! Anybody who is intent on ridiculing others, making light of UFO issues or using insulting or abusive comments will be warned, asked to leave and finally if they continue, chucked off the site.
  
  
  
• FINAL OBJECTIVE
  To stack worthy and genuine articles in respect of UFOs in a reference area for our members to enjoy. We particularly seek photos and news items.

Excellent Falk,

I think it important for people to come here and discuss anything with out the fear or ridicule no matter how crazy their thoughts may be.

[falkor]

I think there is a HUGE problem out there

a person sees a UFO

they feel they will be ridiculed

so they say nothing

OR

they report the incident and hugely regret doing so after "negative" feedback from press and friends

SO they then backtrack

I think this is a significant element in the whole situation of assessing what the hell is actually going on

as for our rules - please don't forget the "FINAL OBJECTIVE" we need tons of photos 600+ wide please!! just email them to me

1. On registering, a user who is under age must contact an Administrator or any Moderator to confirm their age.
   
2. The user agrees that they will immediately make a parent or guardian aware that they have registered with Ufo forums .co.uk, and a parent or guardian should confirm to a Moderator that they are content for the user to participate.
