Adds a final paragraph about how we treat abusive correspondence to site volunteers and staff.

I've also changed 'House Rules' to 'Conditions of Use', as per recent discussions. Not sure if this also changes it in the navigation links to the left of the page though?

It doesn't. That'd need a change to _sidebar.html.erb here:

<%= link_to_unless_current "House Rules", help_house_rules_path %>

Thanks Helen - I'm a bit scared to adjust that code as I'm not sure how it works!

Thanks for this - it all LGTM 👍

I think there is a minor glitch (double space), but it isn't a blocker.

I've added two commits on 1 which should take care of the sidebar in the help pages, and the footer elsewhere on the site. 😃

If we still want to make these changes, we might want to consider the language used in light of the Online Safety Act. I don't think there's a legal requirement to use a specific term, but we might want to have alignment with Ofcom's recommendations anyway.
