5th Gen Forum Rules and Regulations - Revision December 2007. These rules are in effect forum-wide.
* Before asking a question either by posting a new thread or an existing thread, please review any applicable stickied threads (threads that have been "stuck" at the top of the page) and use the search function.
* Please keep posts generally positive and polite. We do not censor opinions or ideas but we do take action against posts or topics that go beyond a civil disagreement or have the potential to cause unrest in the community. We do not tolerate personal attacks, flaming or moderator bashing.
* Do not post Not Work Safe (NWS) material. If you see an inappropriate thread or post, please use the "report post" button and a moderator will review it.
* Do not post profanity. We have word filters in place for the most vulgar terms. Circumventing the word filters will result in punitive action.
* Street-racing, kills, and reckless driving threads are NOT allowed. This is an automatic 1-month BAN for basic posts on the subject. Penalties may be more severe depending on the severity of illegal and/or dangerous actions posted about.
* Do not cop-bash or post threads complaining about tickets, etc.
* You may not advertise or promote companies or products unless you are a site sponsor. This includes advertising in signatures. You may post personal For Sale/Want-To-Buy threads in the appropriate classified section.
* Do not register multiple user accounts. If you are banned, serve it out. If you re-register under a new username both accounts and your IP will be permanently banned.
* Avatars and signatures, read these rules:
Avatars | Custom User Text | Signatures
* If you have an issue concerning our policies or staff, please contact a staff member by private message.
* Users may not argue a moderators decision publicly. Complaints directed at a moderator must first address the moderator via Private Message. If you are unable to resolve the problem with the moderator you may appeal to a forum administrator. Decisions by the forum administrator are final.
