Welcome to the discussion board of the Electricity Systems Group at Imperial College London. The editorial board champions active and open debate among our members. All that we ask is that it's done in a lawful and civil manner – be it posting on our boards or using our website to email another user directly. Accordingly, you agree to use the discussion board for lawful purposes only. You may not use, or allow others to use, your board membership to:

• Post or transmit any content that is abusive, vulgar, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, unlawful, threatening, harassing, or defamatory or which discloses private or personal matters concerning any person;
• Post or transmit any material that you do not have a right to transmit under law (such as copyright, trade secret or securities) or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (as in nondisclosure agreements);
• Post, transmit, or link to sexually explicit material;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with anyone or entity;
• Post or transmit statements that are intentionally false or misleading,
• Post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation including chain letters or pyramid schemes;
• Intentionally violate the laws, rules and regulations of any of the academic institution where you are affiliated;
• Intentionally violate any other applicable law or regulation while accessing and using our site;
• Collect or store personal data about other users;
• Post or transmit any file that contains viruses, corrupted files, "Trojan Horses," or any other contaminating or destructive features that may damage someone else's computer.

While we can't review all transmissions by our users, the editorial board reserves the right to monitor any information transmitted or received through the discussion board. The editorial board, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, may at any time review, remove, or otherwise block any post or terminate your membership for violating the above provisions.
