These are the rules of this forums. We provide this as a service to the community, a place to allow you to talk, discuss, find out releases and information, and let others know of your work or questions. We do not do this for our health, we PAY for this server and we all have real jobs. Therefore we are not going to be lenient towards those that cannot respect these 8 simple rules. We will ban people without question for violation of any of these rules.
Please note that while we (the administrators and moderators of this forum) will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible for us to review every message and hence we will not be held liable for any content not posted by us.
1) No foul curse words. What are 'foul' curse words? Those that directly refer to sexual interaction or what could be determined as blasphemy towards God. D@mn, shi+ and h3ll are not considered in the above category, but it is preferred that your conversation does not entirely or frequently consist of those terms. As well replacing a letter with an apostrophe or other character will not get you off the hook.
2) Cussing out or flaming other people is not allowed. You are more than welcome to disagree with someone, but cutting them down and calling them names is not good.
3) Disparaging remarks that refer to someone's nationality, country, race, religion, creed or sex is out.
4) Posting links to copyrighted material that is being posted for download without the owner's permission is not allowed at all.
5) Inflammatory remarks. If someone posts a message about something they just built, if you can't give constructive criticism, don't say anything at all. Nobody is interested in your opinion of "I don't like dirt tracks, so this is crap". If you do have some feedback, say it constructively. Most authors do not mind if you have some good feedback..."the sign is the wrong color, here's a picture", "the downhill section is too steep, there's an in-car vid at this website". Please note that smart ass comments towards an administrator or whiny posts like "you said you were going to release XXXXXX, why is it taking you so long???" will be construed as inflammatory remarks, and dealt with likewise.
6) Posting pics or links to pics (including videos, MP3s or other forms of media) with questionable material (blatant sex, drugs, disgusting or immoral, insulting to someone's race, religion, sex or cultural beliefs) will be axed just like saying it would. That also includes sigs, smilies or avatars.
7) Posting spam to advertise a non-racing website promoting commercial goods or services is forbidden. A very recent example was someone posting about their website selling cigarettes. If you wish to promote a commercial racing product or service, you need to contact The Administrators first.
8) Accusations of piracy or copyright violations are NOT ALLOWED on this board. If you feel that someone is committing a violation of someone's intellectual property, contact the author and let them work it out. If you are the author, contact the party directly. Most times things should be worked out before making public accusations. If you did not get anywhere with violators, THEN you may contact a moderator of these forums to ASK if you can let the public know about it.
