Forum Guidelines

[Seth]

Dear members,

In order to make this forum a better place for all to enjoy we have made a few rule changes. Most of you are familiar with our zero tolerance policy on personal attacks and it seems to be a success. We are now going to implement a few new rules to keep the serious side of the forum on track. We need to separate the serious sections from the play section because childish behavior in the general forums has a way of ending most serious discussions and turning off those who come here only to discuss technical matters.

We can no longer allow foul language, post whoring, idle banter, thread hijacking or any other sort of playing around that some of you have gotten use to doing lately. If you keep that sort of stuff in the OT section, we will not have any problems but in the general forum, it can earn you a strike or eventually lead to you being banned from the forum. The same 3-strike rule will apply to these new rules.

We also ask all of you to review the signature rules and try to limit your avatar and signature to car related matters. If you still wish to use the female form, then make sure they are in good taste and have their clothes on. Furthermore I would like to remind everyone that racial/gender slurs and nudity are not allowed on this forum and they can earn you an immediate restriction. This applies to all sections of the forum.

When it comes to your username you are only allowed one forum identity. Do not register mulitple times. Creation of mulitple usernames, identities or surrogates is strictly against forum rules and if you are found to have more than one username you may be subject to banning without notification. There is no reason other than surreption to have more than one board username. This rule is in place to protect the integrity and open nature of this forum. I hope you understand to reason behind this rule.

Finally; posting of private messages, either via the forum (PM's) or through another private medium (Email/Instant messages), from another member is not something we like to see on this forum. They are private and should be kept as such unless you need it as proof of a misrepresented purchase and then only with the approval of one of the moderators.

Thank you
