In an effort to make this forum community as clean, fun, informative, and educational as possible to all varying degrees of individual preference and personal backgrounds, I've thrown together a quick short list of simple rules and guidelines to forum use. These guidelines are essential to keeping the peace among members of the forum and maximize member satisfaction and minimize headaches, confusion, and potential confrontations.
Offensive language/content
-Swearing.. It is not necessary to swear while getting your point across, the forum is viewable by guests of all ages, and while offensive to some, may ultimately be disrespectful to others. If swearing by members cannot be controlled by the members, I will reimplicate the filters. Intentionally dodging these filters will result in penalty.
-Vulgar Statements/Drug References.. This goes without saying that the majority of us have no interest in hearing about what goes on in your head about matters of a sexual orientation or what it is you do with your free time.. Refrain from discussion about sexually oriented subjects and matters of drug use/references.
-Explicit videos/photos.. You know exactly what im talking about.. Just don't do it.. If a video/photo you decide to post contains anything that may be considered offensive, it will be removed and your getting your warning now, you will receive penalties.
Thread Jacking
-Stay on topic.. Essentially, don't stray too far from thread author's originally intended discussion and discussing topics unrelated to original post. Want to talk about something different? Start a new thread.
-Undermining threads.. For instance, if someone posts a "For Sale" thread and you posses a similar item to sell, do not undermine the individuals thread to make your own sell and take the interested party from the individual. Start your own F/S thread.
Show respect.. NO drama
Do not blatantly disrespect someone or their threads or questions. Things said on a computer can easily be taken the wrong way even if you are only joking, so please be aware of what you posting. If someone asks a question that you think is "dumb", give an answer or don't post a reply at all, but do NOT tell someone a question is stupid! Knowledge is power, and what may be second nature for you may be a learning experience for someone else.
-Drama.. Simply won't be tolerated.. This isn't a high school lunchroom. If you don't get along with someone, simply do not communicate with that person/people if you can't do it respectfully.
Special Regulations
-Some forum boards may contain board specific rules that apply to those boards directly. All forum members are to follow these rules and board specific rules which will be posted and "stickied" to the top of the boards to which they apply.
All forum rules are subject to changes or additions at anytime, so make sure you stay familiar with this thread to avoid complications later. Offenses will be determined and regulated by moderators at varying degrees of penalties.
Essentially, use common sense and respect while posting and everything will run alot smoother. If you are unsure if a post is okay, simply ask a moderator.
-Enjoy the forums.. Happy Motoring
