Please Read & Respect These Community Rules
In order to maintain a friendly and constructive environment we have created a Code of Conduct that we ask posters to follow while on the Road 88’s Community.
By way of participating as a viewer or contributor all posters agree to be bound by the terms of and adhere to this Code of Conduct (COC).
User account and registration
In order to post registration is required.
Please note the following: Although users are allowed to pick their usernames, unsuitable usernames will be rejected by board administrators and they will immediately delete your account. Impersonating other posters or other individuals will result in the termination of your account.
General Rules
By registration you agree to be bound by the following:
#1. Road 88 reserves the right to change this Code of Conduct at any point in time.
#2. Use of this Community is a privilege and not a right.
#3. Road 88 reserves the right to limit the accessibility of the message boards, to individuals and the entire message board community, for any period of time, in their sole discretion.
#4. You agree that the Administrator and Moderators of this Community have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. Off topic threads in non-related sections will be moved, often without warning.
#5. The Administrators and Moderators of this Community have the right, but not the obligation, to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not Road 88.
#6. Violation of any of the following will subject you to warnings or suspension of your posting privileges.
- You agree to never belittle, unduly criticize, offend or ridicule posters and/or members of the Road 88 Community.
- Attacking an opinion is allowed, attacking a poster is not.
- You agree not to post any material which is obscene, vulgar, slanderous, libelous, threatening, sexually-orientated, racially offensive, or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.
- Religious and/or political discussions are not allowed (These debates in these two topics never usually end well).
- No commercially motivated messages, such as advertisements or links to commercial websites are allowed. It is okay to put links in your messages if these are informative and directly relevant to a discussion.
- Spamming the Community will not be tolerated and may lead to immediate revocation of posting privileges.
Community Policy on Warnings & Suspensions
Occasionally we run into the unfortunate situation where we have to suspend members for poor conduct in the Community. A member who breaks the rules outlined above is subject to the following disciplinary action:
#1. First and second offense: Warnings.
#2. Third offense: One week suspension.
#3. Fourth offense: One week suspension.
#4. Fifth offense: Permanent ban
Exceptions to the above:
#1. If you have been previously banned and have returned under a different username you will be permanently banned without warning.
#2. Posting of any pornographic material is grounds for an immediate permanent ban.
#3. Trolling, as defined by the Moderators, is subject to an immediate and permanent ban.
Moderators
The Moderators on this forum are volunteers and therefore cannot be expected to be online 24 hours a day. If you feel a post is offensive and/or violates this COC, please report it to the moderators or the Administrator by using the "Report To Mod" link or by sending a PM to the moderators or Administrator. One of the moderators or the Administrator will then resolve the issue as soon as possible.
