NEW 4th Gen Forum Guidelines. READ BEFORE POSTING IN THIS FORUM!

[phenryiv1]

General 4th gen forum guidelines:

First, remember:
This forum is for posts about 4th Gen cars, not just a forum for any post by people who own 4th gen cars.

People, please be more descriptive in your subject titles. For example, "cone intake," "red/clears," "suspension," "emblems," are not subject titles...they are isolated words. Describe the main problem/question/comment in the subject line ... please! Don't type one or two words and make the rest of the Org try to guess what you're trying to say.

And of course, this extends to the body of your post. Please be as descriptive as possible.

What is this ... who can create the shortest subject line contest?

"We are going to treat threads mentioning high speed driving on public roads the same as street racing. This means you get an automatic 1 month ban for the first offense and a permanent ban for the second."

If you ask a question and the answer can be found in the FAQ threads, your thread gets locked.

NEW THREAD LOCKING RULE!

If you find a link that doesn't work use this:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=537445

If you post about your CEL coming on before you have checked for the codes, it will get locked. Please do not ask why it may have come on without the codes. YOU NEED A LINK TO THE POST THAT DISCUSSES YOUR PROBLEM TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU DID READ THE STICKY.

The Org is not a CarFax checking service.
Scratched Windshield?
If there is no one that can do a VIN check, and if you post, your thread will still be locked.

Here's a refresher for those of you that may have forgotten the terms to which you agreed when you signed up on the ORG. I've highlighted the parts that most people forget.

"Registration to this forum is free! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below. If you agree to the terms, please press the 'I Agree with the above User Signup Agreement' button at the end of the page.

Although the administrators and moderators of Maxima.org will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Maxima.org or Jelsoft Enterprises Limited will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By clicking the 'I Agree' button, you warrant that you will abide by the follwowing rules and policies:

I agree not to:
upload, post or otherwise transmit any content (including images) that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
advocate illegal activity or discuss illegal activities with the intent to commit them;
post or distribute any material that infringes and/or violates any right of a third party or any law;
post or distribute any software or other materials which contain a virus or other harmful component;
post material or make statements that do not generally pertain to the designated forum topic;
impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to Maxima.org ;administrators and moderators, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any content transmitted through Maxima.org;
upload, post or otherwise transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation, except in those areas of Maxima.org that are designated for such purpose;
interfere with or disrupt Maxima.org or servers or networks connected to Maxima.org, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to Maxima.org;

I agree that Maxima.org administrators and moderators have the right to remove, edit, move, or close any thread or post for any reason at any time without notice.

I agree that Maxima.org, in its sole discretion, may terminate my password, my use of the Maxima.org forums, and remove and discard any content within the Maxima.org forums, for any reason, including, without limitation, if Maxima.org believes that I have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this User Signup Agreement."

All posts regarding legal issues should be posted in their respective regional forums. We don't know jack about the cops or courts in your state. If you want help FIXING a problem, I may allow the thread. If you got a speeding ticket, a tint ticket, want to know how many fog lights you can run, please post that in your region. Or better yet, call your local DMV or research your local vehicle code on your own.

ANY COP-BASHING IS A BAN! This is non-negotiable.

Anyone who posts a question without an answer in any of the help stickies (FAQs, How-to, etc...) gets a 3 day ban.

Everyone read this, especially if your thread gets locked.

Don't complain to me about inconsistency when threads get locked, I cannot spend all my time on the org, when ever I do come on I might go on a thread locking spree. Don't get angry and don't PM me telling me I am being an asshole about it. Only PM me for valid reasons.

Any member bashing another member's vehicle or taste in mods will get treated the same as a personal attack. That means you can be automatically banned for 1 month or permanently, dependent on moderator discretion.

Street Racing threads will earn you an automatic 3 week ban. Continued discussions will earn you a permanent ban.
