Rules:
please respect these and try to follow them!!
1) No spamming what so ever! it is alright to post one or two forsale ads on here but if you continue to do so you will be banned... also rather than reposting it, find the thread and post in it so it brings the thread back up... if still no one replies, give up!
2) Posting... do not be a post whore! that will result in suspension if not being permenantly banned! also if you feel like you are just talking among yourselves try to keep it to the PM's unless it pertains to the thread and you feel it is useful information for others!
3) When posting new threads... do a search before you post new threads or expect people to behave different towards you... if you find a thread and you still have a question about it please inclued a link to the thread so we know what you are talking about! remember when posting, we are not all here just you help you! everyone is here to help everyone, so treat people as you want to be treated or you wont be helped! DO NOT get mad if someone tells you that a question that has to do with "How much HP does my car have" or "which car will win if" can not be answered cause questions like that can never be truely answered so either dyno your car or go see what car will win!
4) Language... i havent yet really had a problem with the laungauge issue! if you feel like swearing... good for you go ahead, just dont over do it! if any language is used racially or any slur terms are being used towards or against someone they will be banned permenatly... we are not here to listen to you rant and rave about another person, its your personal business, if you want to go at it, keep it to the PM's!!!
5) Bashing... no one really has a right to bash anyone! although most of the time it is fun and yes i have even enjoyed it, i now must be responsible and tone it down! i will not ban anyone if they do it once in awhile but if it gets outta hand the thread will be closed and over with!
6) Spelling... if you are going to type up a post and expect people to reply and know what you are talking about then spelling and grammer is a must! we are not really picky but if you do type as if you have certain way of talking and somone either bashes you or cant understand what you are tring to say, do not get mad about it!
7) Off Topic... anyone that feels like talking about anything they want can post it in the off topic thread... thats why i made it! although the same rules apply to the off topic thread to as far as language, bashing, spelling and spamming!
8) FAQ...there has been way too many questions asked that have been answered a million times already! if you feel like you have one of these questions check out that thread first...A simple search goes a long way.
UPDATE ON OT-THREADS: Currently, it is okay to use the main forum as an OT hang-out area. Performance, non-performance and problem diagnosis will continue to be posted in the appropriate sub-forums- Shpyder
9) Everone just have fun with this and respect eachother! so far there has been no problem and i havent yet had to ban anyone and i would rather keep it that way! thanks everyone for helping out!
10) Posting threads like "What will my car run with such and such mods" and "Which car would win" are unacceptable. If you have to know, post it in the OFF TOPIC thread in the Non-Performance sub-forum. We do not bench race here so there is no need to start!
11) Pictures- Examples of pictures that are allowed, a picture basically of anything car related is allowed as long as there is NO nudity of any kind in the pictures, girls in bikini's are allowed, but any pictures showing parts that wouldn't be deemed appropriate in public are NOT allowed.
I'll add some if i have to as i go, but the rules haven't changed, there's no need to as of yet.
12) For Sale Threads- List all important available information of what you are selling. These threads will NOT be used for discussion, post-whoring, chat, or flaming. Take all converstion to PMs outside the post
If it is a car, put the following (minimum):
VIN,
year,
make,
model,
mileage,
location of vehicle/state of registration,
transmission type,
asking price,
a way to contact you in the thread to avoid post-tag.
For parts, give a minimum of the following information:
year, make and model of car the part was taken from,
asking price.
Any For Sale threads missing the above information will be locked as soon as they come to mod attention
13) Use of Sub-Forums - They are there for a reason; use them. Moderators will usually leave redirects when a thread is moved to a location deemed more appropriate and fitting than the previous, though regular violators will have their threads moved without redirects or warning. Sometimes it is difficult to select the appropriate sub-forum, so go ahead and post it and the moderator(s) will take care of it.
14) Sig requirements - No porn. Listing your year, make, model, and upgrades is compulsory.

Let me reemphasize the number ONE item on this list. Spamming, members who join this site strictly to sell their parts/services are called SPAMMERS, these people will have their threads closed and if they continue to sell their items without permission from a moderator they will be banned. Members who are productive, who have contributed in some way/shape/form to this site are allowed to have an open sale, to an extent.
Starting today on April 05 2006, this will be strongly enforced.
