<dt><a name="abuse"></a>What types of message are not allowed?</dt>

<dd>
<p>See above for our guidance around using WriteToThem only to contact to your own representatives.</p>
<p>Additionally, you may not use WriteToThem for sending messages that are abusive or threatening.</p>
<p>You should not use the service to bombard a representative with several messages over a short period of time.</p>
<p>On discovery of such usage we may, at our discretion, ban you from further use of WriteToThem.</p>
<p>As with all mySociety services and activities, users of WriteToThem must abide by the organisation's <a href="https://www.mysociety.org/code-of-conduct/">Code of Conduct</a>.
This code applies to all activity related to the service, including correspondence with mySociety staff.</p>
<p>Where a user sends a message that is intended to harass, threaten, abuse or distress a member of mySociety staff,
we will, at our discretion, cease communication. We may also ban the correspondent from future use of the site.</p>
<p>Where a message is of particular concern, we will forward details of the correspondence to the police.</p>
