I would like to see some more concrete Posting rules & guidelines on the new board, that every new member must read and agree to before contributing to threads. Here is an example of the posting rules at JeepForum.com, and FWIW I agree with almost all of them:
Rule and Guidelines for posting.
Rules:
* Please try to keep your messages on topic.
* Swearing,(including ways to defeat the automatic censor) flaming, slamming and spamming will not be tolerated. Posts that do not fall within the guidelines of this site will either be edited for content or will be deleted all-together. This is your only warning. Repeat offenders will find their login-id's and IP addresses banned from using JeepForum.com. Attempts to defeat the censor will result in individual posts being deleted without warning, and if it is a thread with persistant attempts at defeating the censor, it too will be deleted without notice.
Guidelines:
* Pictures maybe posted with your messages. Please check the Registry Section for ideas on how to properly post the pictures that you wish for others to see.
* Topics allowed include anything PG-13.(at moderators discretion) No X-Rated pictures, jokes etc. No racist remarks, gender remarks etc. You will only be warned 1 time about this and you just got that warning. There will be no tolerance on this.
* Please do not post and re-post your questions several times over as the answers are not always immediate. Some people will refrain from answering questions even after reading them if they cannot prove their points of view.
* Posts that are nothing but "padding" the post-counter (ie: "I agree") will not be tolerated for long. If you agree, say so, but please add more to the discussion, you do have opinions that you can share! This does include 1 line story threads and the like.
* F.A.Q. Check the F.A.Q. out for the Board.
As times and members change with this group, some questions maybe asked over again.
* For the old timers, please be patient with those who are new.
* To those who are new, you can search the online databases for answers to your questions. If you feel the answers found do not satisfy you, please don't hesitate to post your question here.
Note: New Rule - 12/01/03
Respect yourself and respect others, else you will be banned without warning and the ban will never be released.
The moderators of jeepforum.com have the right to edit, close, delete or alter in any way they see fit each thread, and or post within this forum without notice.
Update 10-25-04
Free Posting - Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the such. This only serves to clutter the forums.
Locked post - If one of your posts is locked, please do not start another thread dedicated to why it was locked. If you have a problem with your post being locked, please send a private message to a admin/mod describing the problem.
