The AlfaDriver Rules - PLEASE READ!

Recommended Posts

We want AlfaDriver to be a very relaxed and open environment where people can feel free to post as they want to and 'self-police' in a way that keeps things civilised but doesn't encroach on anybodies freedom to speak their mind.

 

This website is for over 18's ONLY. By registering and posting you confirm that you are over 18 years of age.

 

That said, there must always be rules and guidelines to make clear what is and isnt acceptable on AlfaDriver and as such, breaking these rules could result in punishment. There are several types of punishment:

 

Warning - You will be contacted by a member of staff and given the chance to explain your actions. Whether further action is taken will depend on your reasons, response and attitude. We hope that this is as far as we will ever need to go.

Muting - This is where you are not able to talk on the board. You may still view it.

Temporary Ban - This is where you are not able to view the board for a certain period of time.

Permanent Ban - You can never again view the board. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

 

The following rules list the most serious violations:

 

No Hacking - This should go without saying, but you are not permitted to hack the board. Guessing someone else's password and succeeding counts as hacking. Members who hack will instantly be permanently banned without any warnings.

 

No Discrimination - You may not insult anyone based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs, or sexual preference. AlfaDriver is a place where everyone is equal and discrimination will NOT be tolerated!

 

No Bullying - Do not pick on other members. The worst kind of bullying is where new members are picked on. This hurts the member as well as the board.

 

No Flaming - Flaming harms the nice atmosphere of AlfaDriver. A bit of friendly banter is fine and to be expected but when it crosses the line and becomes deliberately inflammatory it becomes an issue.

 

No Advertising - Unless you are a trusted and approved trader, you are not permitted to make money using AlfaDriver on a regular basis. Its ok to sell a car, clear out your shed or get rid of an old phone through the for sale sections. But if you are seen to be running a business of any kind using the forum as an outlet you will need to be registered and approved to do so.

 

No Illegal Activity - You are not allowed to break the law using AlfaDriver. This can get us into legal trouble. Posting links to roms, illegal downloads or illegal content is (not surprisingly) illegal, so this counts as a violation of the rules.

 

No Topic Bumping - Its really annoying. If nobody wants to reply in your thread, asking them again and again won't make it happen. Just accept that your post is rubbish and move on.

 

Breaking any of these rules may result in punishment.

 

The Guidelines

 

Swearing - There is a very limited swear filter on AlfaDriver. As car owners and drivers we are all grown adults so you can say what you want... within reason. If swear words are being used to break any of the above rules it is NOT ok. But everyone swears a bit in real life so why not do it here. As long as it is not excessive or meant to attack a person then go for it. You will be warned if you cross the line but as you are all sensible adults we hope to not need to do that.

 

Porn - No porn!! boobies, bums, any nakedness will not be tolerated.

 

Deal with it - There are no excuses for breaking the rules. It doesn't matter if you were angry, stressed or drunk at the time and weren't thinking straight. It doesn't matter if you were only kidding around. If you break a rule, you break a rule. Its not rocket science.

 

Give us a break - Staff abuse will not be tolerated. Unless we really deserve it.

 

Thats the lot. As has been said we really want AlfaDriver to be an open and free environment so have tried to keep the rules to a minimum. Its mostly common sense so do us a favour and don't break them, we don't need the hassle and neither do you.

 

If you get punished and disagree with it, don't whinge about it. Speak to an admin or moderator and, if it wasn't deserved, appropriate action can and will be taken. But don't expect miracles... we want a nice relaxed forum so if you've been bad enough to get punished you must be a bit of an asshole.
