Forum Rules

Post by brentp »

In an effort to improve the signal to noise ratio on our forums we are putting new rules in place and making a few changes here and there. With many registered members from all over the world we have reached a point where tremendous diversity, age, education, location and more are all factors to consider when participating in our forums. We want to promote a clean, healthy, respectful atmosphere where people are not afraid to ask questions, participate in this community and generally have a good time discussing the relevant topics.

With that in mind, here are the rules:

The Owner, Administrators, and Moderators are not responsible for any information on The MegaJolt Lite Jr. Forums that cause you harm, your vehicle harm, or anyone else any harm. You use all information gathered on The MegaJolt Lite Jr. web site at your own risk.

PRIVACY RULES:

You may not collect any email addresses from this web site to use to promote other web sites. We will NEVER sell or give away any email personal information, email address or IP address, unless requested by law enforcement. We will prosecute violators of these rules per Anti-spamming and Data Collection laws.

THE BIG RULES:

Violation of these rules is grounds for IMMEDIATE banning of your account. If you think we're kidding, think again.

Do not post anything that could interfere with the viewing of the forum by other members - including any Java or Java script, MARQUEE or other page altering tags.

No off topic posts: Off topic is any subject that is not primarily about the projects/produts offered and developed by Autosport Labs. This includes: other hardware or software offerings, (and especially links to related web sites), any religious, sexual, political, or lifestyle discussions; etc. Off topic material might be in post content (including links), signatures, private messages, web links, avatars, the files you upload, etc. Off topic material is not allowed anywhere.

No spamming the forums. Commercial messages may be removed at the discretion of either a forum moderator or administrators. Posting a thread that advertises or promotes a company, while pretending to be not affiliated with the company is grounds for banning. Please review the Advertising Rules.

No flaming of other members to incite or perpetuate a conflict or argument. ANY personal attacks or name calling will get you suspended, if not banned.

No bombing forums or threads with pointless posts. Pointless posts or one liner replies to push up one's post count is frowned upon. Repeated posting to disrupt the forum is not allowed. Moderators will delete excessive posts as they see fit.

No linking or posting of pornographic or objectionable material. Objectionable material includes graphic gore (i.e. Car Crashes with cut up and dead bodies, or mangled living people) or porn. We know it when we see it. Do not link to web sites that are known to have porn, or gore or snuff pictures or videos, real or not. This is grounds for banning. If you argue about the post being deleted you will be banned or suspended.

Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself.

Do not discuss, suggest, engage, or encourage any illegal activity on the forums. Linking to locations that deal with any such activity is also forbidden. Do not place the forum owner in the position of being perceived as condoning any illegal activity. Posting Information on how to defraud any company or promotion of any kind of illegal or unethical activity is forbidden.

Posting under secondary usernames or alias user names other than your main account for the purpose of arguing, degrading or belittling other readers is grounds for having your posting privileges revoked. Having more than one account is grounds for immediate banning.

You must have a valid e-mail account in your profile so you can be reached by a forum moderator or administrator.

No political or religious threads. History has shown us that these thread topics can go bad in a hurry. Please take these discussions elsewhere on the internet. First offence will be a warning and the thread deleted. Second offence will be a 2 week suspension. Third offence will be a 1 year ban.

ADVERTISING RULES
eBay auction links are NOT permitted under any circumstances.

Any items for sale must be listed in this site's for sale forum only, DO NOT link to another site for your sale under any circumstances.

The For Sale forum is strictly for individuals selling project related parts and components, and is *NOT* intended as an Advertiser's section, i.e. companies or individuals offering for sale MJLJ units, parts or kits.
