When you post a warning, please include the general location of the incident in the title of your post so that those who may be affected will know they should read your warning. If you're posting about someone who you think would cover a wide area, indicate that in the title. Your title should say something like: Robbery, West London.

If you're posting about a timewaster or nuisance who you don't believe to be dangerous, include the word "timewaster" in your title.

Warnings should include as much information as possible that could help other people to identify the subject to somebody they may contact, such as accent, ethnicity, scars and tattoos. However we can't publicise full names, phone numbers, addresses, car registrations or email addresses which could identify them to others, so please censor part of each. You can include the uncensored details in a private message to another user if she PMs you to ask for them.

If all phone numbers are posted with the same format, it will make it easy to search the forum to see if a particular number has been posted. Therefore, please post phone numbers with no spaces and the last two digits replaced by asterisks, like this: 078123456**. If you want to search the forum for a phone number, just format it in the same way and put it in the search box.
