It is time for some overdue updates to the General Rules.
There is an unwritten rule we have had from the beginning regarding multiple accounts. We do not allow them (vendor accounts are the exception), but we haven't actually written that down anywhere.
Unwritten rules are not how we do things here, so I'm writting it down.
Also, there are certain things we do allow now in The Moshpit that were not allowed before. This also means two other rules should be updated.
I will post the old rules, and the new rules. For ease of reference,
pure additions will be colored green,
pure deletions will be colored red, and
changes will be colored orange. I plan to continue this practice in the future.
Old rules:
- No Embeded Porn: NWS tags are a must if you plan on linking any type of thing that can be considered remotely offensive. This doesn't mean things like 2G1C will be tolerated. We have many members who work in an environment where peers/supervisors can and will be looking at their screens at any given time. PLEASE keep that in mind. This doesn't just include nudity, things with excessive profanity printed or spoken is included as well.
- No street racing stories or videos: Yes, we know (most) everyone has done it or been involved in it at some point, but we don't support it. We know it occurs we just don't want to be associated with it.
- Political Threads: Political threads are now generally considered acceptable. Please remember that you are expected to be fair and balanced when sharing your view of the topic. No personal attacks or slander will be acceptable as always. You are encouraged to report any abuse. Violators are subject to immediate bans depending on the severeity and prior offenses.
- Religious Threads: All human beings come from all walks of life. Some are more religious than others. Please keep this in mind. We will not prohibit you from practicing your 1st ammendment rights; We only ask that you show restraint and caution with regards to these types of threads. Religious threads are generally taboo, and we'd rather not see overly heated debates on pros/cons of religion in general. There are religious forums for you to openly discuss your position all over the internet. Remember this is an automotive community.
- No vulgarity/cuss words in titles of threads. As mentioned above, we believe you should be able to practice your 1st amendment rights. We do feel that you should try your best to communicate effectively without the use of vulgar words, especially in thread titles.
- No threatening, or overly abusive personal attacks: I know people bang heads from time to time, and that's fine. If it gets to be too much you will be asked to take it to PM. If that gets out of hand you will be dealt with.
- No racial slurs, or offensive terms: We have people on this forum from all ethnic backgrounds, religions, and sexual preferences. We just ask that you think before you type. There is absolutely zero tolerance for this type of behavior. Equality amongst all who visit this forum is required, not requested.
- Don't spam/abuse any other member via e-mail or Private Messages.
