Policy Statement
SydneyPubGuide.net policies are as follows
User Comments
At the time of writing, the user comments feature is NOT open to anonymous
access, but logged in users are able to use pseudonyms for display purposes.
This allows posters to freely express their views without fear of reprisal, but
allows SydneyPubGuide.net to trace back comments to a particular account, and
therefore a particular email address and IP address. Should you find a comment
which offends, please contact us and let us know where on the site you found
it. Be aware that in some cases we will require proof of identity from you
before we can remove this content. In the case of plainly illegal or
excessively offensive content, removal is immediate. In the case of identity
abuse, proof of identity will be required.
If you are a pub owner or manager and you disagree with a comment posted, we
would expect you to make a case fitting to the standard of the comment in
question, on headed paper by fax or mail. By 'fitting to the comment', we mean
that to refute a simple bad review you will have to demonstrate that the
conditions outlined in the review are no longer, or never were, the case.
Obviously incorrect or directly offensive comments require less stringent
proof. There is no need to go straight to your lawyer - don't waste your money,
contact us first. If you then disagree with us, feel free to bring out the big
guns.
Editorial discretion is a reserved right of SydneyPubGuide.net
Listing policy
SydneyPubGuide.net lists pubs. For this purpose, we define a pub as licenced
premises to which public access is available, with no membership requirement
and whose primary business is serving of drinks.
This means we don't currently list RSL clubs or members clubs, or licenced
restaurants where you must order food to get a drink, or theatres such as The
Metro or Enmore Theatres. However we may make exceptions from time to time for
premises which we feel merit inclusion as a stand-out venue, such as in the
case of Soup Plus and
The Gaelic Club
Offensive Language/Expletives
This site is plainly not meant for kids - It's aimed at adults 18 years and
over. In view of this, we do not have a strict policy on the use of explicit
language, either in our own content or in users' submitted content, anonymous
or otherwise. We draw the line at an arbitrary, imaginary limit defined as
"would you get away with it in the pub?". This policy is of course open
to interpretation. If you're offended in any way, please make a case for
yourself by email and we'll come to an agreement.

or in part at our discretion, without prior notification. Please refer to our
privacy policy for exclusions. We make no claims of perfect accuracy or of
comprehensive coverage. If you find content which you know is in error, please
contact us as soon as possible, and we will rectify the error
