Forum Posting Guidelines
The following rules are for everyone's benefit. While we don't censor the forums, we want to keep them full of quality postings, and don't want to waste people's time with postings of NO VALUE.
1. Obscene/Pornographic/Violent postings: Will be deleted.
2. Duplicate/Repetitive Postings: Duplicate postings with identical or similar text are not allowed. Click only ONCE on the submit button, and your posting will appear. A new page will load showing your posting. This is your confirmation that it has been posted! Do not resubmit a posting that has been verified!!! Duplicate postings will be removed.
3. Flaming/Trolling: Flames are posts intended to insult and provoke. Posters who speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting subject or with a patently ridiculous attitude will be banned. Repeated posts directed with hostility at a particular person or group of people or their beliefs will be cause for banning. Any individual who chronically trolls, who regularly posts arguments, flames or personal attacks for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion will be banned. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait.
4. Off Topic Postings: Often people post remarks that have nothing to do with the subject of the forum. These will be moved or deleted at the discretion of the moderator. Some topics naturally go in different directions and this is fine as long as it remians somewhat related to the topic at hand.
5. Spamming: Those who come here and post numerous links to other commercial websites, forums, chatrooms or communities, without actually contributing any content to this website will be banned without notice. It's fine to post an occasional interesting link to another website, in the context of a thread's subject, but to only do that or to do it repeatedly is not allowed. If you have your own website, you can put the URL in your profile and a link will be posted to your site in every post you make so there is no reason to add it to your posts or signature. Those who come to the forum to expressly post advertisements will have their posts deleted and will possibly be banned from forum.
6. Personal arguments or comments are not allowed on the forum. This type of discussion should be done through private email. The administrator of this forum will use complete discretion to delete or modify any comments or topics which are inappropriate for the public forum.
7. Banning: People who violate these forum guidelines repeatedly are subject to being banned.
Other than these restrictions, people are free to post whatever they choose. This is a FREE SPEECH site and we respect people's right to have their say. Let's all just be civil about it! This is a public forum not a private grudge match.
Please let us know ASAP if there are any postings that violate these guidelines, especially if they offend you! We need to know the Forum, the Subject, and the Poster, and the URL if possible. Please send violations to carponline@hotmail.com
Thank you and enjoy.
