Forums are governed by a set of individuals commonly referred to as administrators who are responsible for the forum's conception, technical maintenance and policies.
Most forums have a list of rules which detail the wishes, aims and guidelines of the forum's creators.
Also, there is usually a FAQ section containing basic information for new members and people not yet familiar with the use and principles of the forum.
Rules on the forum usually apply to the entire user body and often have preset exceptions, most commonly designating a section as an exception.
For example in an IT forum any discussion regarding anything other than computer programming languages may be outlawed with the exception of a general chat section.
