  1. Treat other members with the respect they deserve. This should go without saying, but treat others like you would like to be treated! We welcome all discussions and understand everyone might not see eye to eye but keep it civil.
    1. Educate, Don't Irritate (trolling)
    2. Few enjoy posts that offer little or no information, contains emotion at the expense of reason, or attacks another person. Trolling will not be tolerated.
    3. Do not post racially controversial images or make racially disparaging remarks. It will not be tolerated here.
  2. Please do not spam. The definition of spam is an irrelevant or advertising post. Any post considered spam will be removed.
    1. If you wish to advertise on this forum please contact @Admin and we will set something up.
    2. Dealers wishing to conduct business MUST create a new post for their dealership and not poach in the build and orders discussion threads.
  3. Only one account per user is permitted. Members found to be using multiple accounts will be permanently banned. Members temporarily banned caught creating another account will be permanently banned.

  4. No cross posting between forums.

  5. Please do not post text in all CAPITALS since this is considered to be shouting and is not necessary. Please limit the ALL CAPS in thread titles.

  6. Using red text is forbidden. Only moderators and administrators may use this. It's a mod visual trigger.

  7. Insulting and flaming or personal attacks against forum staff will be not tolerated in public or private. Disagreements regarding Moderator actions should be discussed via a PM. Under no circumstance is it OK to cuss or hurl insults when conversing with a mod performing moderator duties. Doing so may get you a temporary or permanent ban.

  8. Please be considerate in language you use on the forum. A filter is in place to safeguard this system. This includes using alternate characters or abbreviations to simulate obscene and profane words.

  9. No hacking, and illegal activity, such as torrents and illegal downloads, this will not be tolerated, and if appropriate, may be reported to local authority.

  10. Please do not post inappropriate material, I think everyone understands what is meant by this. The policy goes that if you would not feel comfortable viewing it at work, or in front of children or parents, don't post it!

  11. Please use the search function before posting. A lot of times the same questions have already been asked and answered. Keeping the same things in the same topics helps make things easier for everyone.

  12. Please keep threads on topic and do not spam threads with excessive unrelated conversations. Side conversations are subject to removal or movement to a new thread. This includes excessive or inflammatory political comments in an otherwise apolitical thread. Be respectful of the spirit of the thread topic.
    12a. No politically divisive member names or signatures allowed.


  13. Rules are subject to change and interpretation by site staff. Decisions are final. Contact the site Admin if you wish to dispute.

  14. Moderators may delete posts as needed for any rule infraction. Openly calling out the staff or talking about how you disagree will not help your cause. If you would like to discuss something, PM a staff member but keep it civil. Cussing at staff in public or via PM may incur an immediate ban.

  15. Buy/Sell/Trade only in the buy/sell/trade forum and those forum rules must be followed.

  16. Sigs: Signatures are limited in number of lines (currently 3). Please don't abuse this by posting large images that use excessive screen space. Please limit your image sizes or they will be edited. No political statements in sigs.

I think these rules are clear, and easy to follow. These are only in place to ensure our community is a fun place to be, and a comfortable atmosphere for all.

Please report any blatant violations using the Report button that's at the bottom of every post.

What happens if I break a rule ?

Depending on the severity of the infraction, a different course of action may be taken, but the usual practice is as follows :
  • 1st rule break (Minor offense) :
    • A PM may be sent, no further action taken. Posts may be deleted
    • For a more serious offense, a warning will be issued, this is a mark against your name letting us know you have broken a rule
  • 2nd rule break
    • Another warning, length and points determined by staff
  • 3rd rule break
    • On your 3rd warning, you will receive a temporary ban, the length of which will depend on the severity of the incident
    • Attempts to sign up with a new (fake) member profile will be caught and you will receive a permanent ban
  • On another breach of rules :
    • After this it will be assumed you will not learn your lesson, so you will receive a permanent ban, meaning you will never be able to visit the forum again.
Moderator private messages and actions are not to be discussed in public by members. Posting a private moderator communication will get you an immediate and permanent ban.

If you have any questions regarding the rules feel free to PM any member of the site staff, who will be able to clear things up for you.
