Please refer to above policy from Police Specials. THIS forum employs exactly the same policy.

Any member who is 15 or younger MUST inform a supervisor IMMEDIATELY, or cease using the forums.

> for supervisors' email addresses click here <

All other members, please check above policy, so that should you realise that there is a person aged 15 or under using these forums, YOU KNOW what the limitations are. This is IMPORTANT and all the comments made on that thread by the administrator of Police Specials I endorse.

make this a sticky on a couple of the forums boss, I can't see it happening but I don't like the idea of a 15 year old kid being "groomed" by some sicko and you/us getting the finger of blame pointed at us.

i agree matey !

[Jenni]

Dont you have screening that stops this sort of thing?

[CA5]

Its impossible to screen Jenni the internet is quite anonymous.We can do our best to try and filter juveniles out.

Often the posts give them away, we haven't had a problem on here but I have known it elsewhere where people have not been who they purport to be.

Buy me a few ciders and I will tell you a mind boggling story about someone who pretended to be a Sergeant on line and even became a moderator on a police site again nothing to do with here.

We will do what we can so long as we stick to Falks views as posted things should be fine.

If in your minds someone appears who may be underage simply PM Falk Shimmy or DDD or Myself and we will try and sort it out.

Jen, for all we know you could be a 13 year old schoolboy, and that pic on your profile could be fake

[Jenni]

Well my pic is a fake but never mind. Its not a real life pic of me. Thank you for saying i could be 13. Not so impressed about the boy bit though.

Seriously though i see your point. How did you guess people were using the site that were under age?

[falkor]

there is no guessing involved here Jenni

We have just welcomed our youngest ever member onto this site who is a member of the Kingston Police Cadets. He is 16 years of age which was originally within the remit of Police Specials "underage policy"

It was this that made me recheck Police Specials for the exact wording which I have now noticed has been lowered to 15.

So, as they have that policy in place - we do too !!

> the full terms and conditions of our forums are HERE <

[dizzy]

Could we posibly check via police e-mail for those that are in the job , yjat still leaves a % that are aplying , but it is a smaller % ... Although it does give someone the job of checking ............................p.s please may i be a 13 year old boy instead of an 86 year old grampa !!

[falkor]

Hi Falkor,

I am 13 and love the Highways Agency vehicles, I make 1:50 scale models of their trucks and vans. Their Traffic Management trucks are my faviroute and I have done a few of these.

I am looking into doing some ISUs and wanted o join the forum to see if anyone would be able to get me any photos of the HA vehicles where they are based at and to get the workshop board.

I registered about 4-5 days ago now but never recived an activation e-mail (this was the adress I used). I have clicked resend activation e-mail and it said that it has been sent but I have not recived one, even checked my junk box.

Can you help?

Best Regards,
Ben.
