Hehe I thought this looked familiar. You'll probably want to edit the car ref in item 4

Needs to be rewriten, improve, revise by admons. But i think it needs to be done [front page if possible]. Lots of repost and other stuff going on also i will add for common courtesy to keep posts in English (int'l) whenever possible.

Didn't notice that I do embrace the idea of formal forum rules, and I'm grateful that you posted this. So far this is a refreshingly friendly bunch, and I'd hate to see this forum degenerate into what some of the other ones are like. If the mods wish it, I'd be happy to help customize this document for ft86club. I agree with keeping posts in English (except in the regionals for countries with other languages), and maybe we want to add an item on welcoming newcomers (although this forum is already pretty great for that).

But it does help a lot when calling them out if you can quote an official rule. Some forums direct newcomers right to the rules thread after they sign up and/or include the rules in the welcome email. Of course, many people will just ignore it, but it's helpful for some and at least the others are aware that there are rules.

Great set of rules and pretty much how we've been moderating the site.
With all respect to the source of these rules, we've cribbed it and posted it as an announcement at the top of all forums. If you see violations of any of these posted rules, please report the posts to us (per rule 1 above ) |

I know it won't be popular with many people here but there is one thing and one thing only about this forum that bothers me. That's the use of profanity. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not some holier than thou kind of a guy but I happen to think that profanity has no place in a forum such as this and I believe that any use of profanity would first earn a warning and then would be an automatic suspension for a given period of time after the warning.

But, we won't allow profanity laced tirades/rants or anything of the sort, nor for adult language to be used in an insulting manner of course. If any members here come across any of these, I encourage you to use the report post function. We review each and every reported post and will moderate the post accordingly. Thanks. |

I use profanity in my posts at times, but usually for a purpose and not just to do so and not excessively.

I haven't seen that much use of profanity on this forum. I'm a member on a few car enthusiast website and a bit of swearing and general shananigans is accepted. I mean, you hear worse things in your local pub.
