Boostcruising Forums Rules - User Agreement to the Site  

The following are the conditions of use for this Forum

Please remember that we are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message.

The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this bulletin board. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by this bulletin board.

1. No pornographic material of any media kind will be posted or linked from this forum unless otherwise specified.

2. Other material that may be considered offensive/illegal will be reviewed on a case by case basis and may result in deletion, warning or banning.

3. Excessive personal abuse based on religion, racial grouping, beliefs or other flaming may be deleted and poster given a warning.

4. Posts referring to threats of physical violence will be deleted and the poster banned without warnings.

5. Attempts to use any software tools to produce a Denial Of Service (DOS) attack or "hack" will result in immediate banning without warnings.

6. Moderators will NOT edit or delete posts without giving an explanation as soon as possible following the action.

7. Advertising of commercial products or services will not be allowed without prior approval by the forum administrator.

8. The administrator and/or Moderators reserve the right to take any action necessary with posts they deem unsuitable but that do not fall into any condition mentioned in this document. This action rests on the proviso that they post an explanation for their action(s) either on the forum or via email to the poster within one hour of said action and in the case of moderators inform the administrator of their reasons who may review and repeal any actions.

9. Mindless spamming will NOT be tolerated in the Forums. Any user found posting pointless rubbish (such as multiple posts with no text, only smilies - for example) is likely to incur a warning, followed by a ban. Filling the boards with pointless or nonsensical posts simply to gain a Forum rank is not acceptable either.

10. These conditions may be amended at any time by the forum administrator and warning of the changes will be given within the following 24 hour period.

Moderators have been appointed to help enforce the above conditions. Moderators are chosen from nominations within a forum group and as such can still contribute opinions and ideas while maintaining the COU. Moderators are obliged to inform a poster of a reason for editing, deleting or moving any thread or posts. They may chose to contact the poster in private message or by public comment.

If you do not agree to any condition listed here you should not use this forum.

In general:

Use your common sense, if you find it offensive so will the Moderators.

Healthy debate is good. The moderators brief is not to nursemaid you if you get called a bad name.

If you are offended in some way contact one of the Moderators and lodge your complaint in writing via E-mail. Resulting actions are at the discretion of the moderators.

If a poster requests a thread stay on topic or has no spam please respect their wishes. Moderators will enforce this.

Excessive posting of threads that have no purpose other than to annoy, flame or provoke negative reaction will not be tolerated

These rules are in place because we do not wish for this sites quality and reputation to be degraded by a minority of people that wish to act inappropriately.

I for one, would hate to be forced into closing the forums down in the event of an endless battle against inappropriate behaviour like many other sites of this nature have done in the past.

Your understanding is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Under no circumstances will DUAL ACCOUNTS be tolerated, on discovery all accounts will be banned and IP restrictions put in place.
