Many of us longtime members of many Forums know the importance of Forum Rules. Without them, new, and existing Forum members can claim that their posts did not violate any Forum Rules, so they should be allowed to post anything, regardless of content. We all know of the issues on other Forums where people have gotten way out of bounds "discussing" politics, religion, etc. Others post completely false information about a product or go completely off-topic. Some even become very abusive and hostile The list of abuses is enormous, including spam posts; hence, the reason that every Forum I frequent, about 12 per day, have Forum Rules to protect the company, and to protect its members in good standing.
Forum Rules would make it clear that Hasleo intends to protect its good name, and that their Forums are not available to be used for other than the purposes stated; for example, discussion politics, religion, race, etc. The stated purpose of these Forums is to respectfully discuss Hasleo products, not anything else.
I would be willing to undertake to prepare a draft set of Forum Rules for review by @admin and other members. I am guessing that the more senior members of this Forum, like @Froggie would accept, if asked, to assist in the review process.
I submit this for your consideration. Have a great day.

Phil
Dear Phil,
This is an excellent suggestion. Thank you. You are absolutely right that clear forum rules are essential for the long term healthy development of the community.
As we are genuinely short on time, we greatly appreciate your willingness to help draft the initial version. Please proceed with the preparation. Once completed, you can reply directly in this thread or send it to us via private message. At that point, we will invite senior members like @Froggie to participate in the review and discussion.
Thank you for your contribution. This benefits all of us.
Best regards,
