Community Guidelines

Shoutmag.co.uk should be fun and safe for everyone.

You're a Shout reader, which means you're pretty smart already. So you probably know the sort of thing we're talking about when we say "don't be mean or we'll ban you." Yeah, it sounds harsh but it's our house so our rules!

This is the kind of stuff we mean:

  • When you're having your say, don't insult, bully, or harass other users. It's okay if you want to disagree with someone else - just stay polite and friendly.
  • Be yourself - don't pretend to be someone else, like another user, a celeb, or even one of the Shout team!
  • Don't give out your real life contact details to anyone - like where you go to school, your phone number, facebook page, twitter stream, address, IM screen names, or anything like that. Don't give out anyone else's either!
  • Keep your password and username safe, and don't tell anyone what they are. If you forget them you can go to the My Account page to get reminded. We'll never ask you for your details in email or in comments - if someone asks you for them, don't reply, and let us know about it.


If you see something on shoutmag.co.uk that you don't think should be there, or if you need help or have a question, you can get in touch using the contact form.

Okay - that's it! What are you waiting for? See you at shoutmag.co.uk!
