The Rules

Core rules

Our core rules are simple:

• No naming names — we will never reveal our sources unless compelled to do so by a court.  The anonymity of our contributors is assured.
• Keep it nice — we do not publish hateful, sexist or obscene material.  While we may offend fom time to time, posts are intended to be humorours and light-hearted.
• Complaints okay — if you feel strongly that a story is incorrect, and we are satisfied on the basis of material that you provide to us that this is the case, we will publish an apology and alter or remove the original story accordingly.
• Right of reply — if you feel strongly that a story is incorrect, but cannot substantiate your objection, we will publish your side of the story, subject to our editorial discretion.

All Firm Spies remain anonymous.  If we find out who you are, we will never reveal your identity.

We may modify your contributions to comply with each of the above rules.
