These rules are intended to
make KMA Offroad Forums an optimal experience for everyone.
1. KMA Offroad Jeep Club is a privately owned
website and reserves the right to remove or restrict any user without notice.
Additionally, unwelcome are persons with political or controversial agendas, and
persons who use the forums to link to, or promote, other websites and/or
products.
2. Users must provide a valid e-mail address during registration. E-mail
addresses are blocked from view to protect your privacy, but are available to
the administration. You can select to have the ability to be emailed in your
personal settings. Those that do not provide a valid e-mail address cannot be
approved. The software that we use is not able to e-mail your password without a
valid address. Changing your password or e-mail address automatically forces our
software to e-mail it/them to you for verification. Your IP address must not be
hidden. If you are hiding behind an IP Address your account will be deleted
without any questions.
3. To prevent abuse, members are only allowed one registered account per person.
[exceptions apply with permission]. In the case that you lose your password and
cannot retrieve it automatically, Please use the “I Forgot my Password” link or
you can contact us with your login details and we will reset your password for
you, but DO NOT create a new account. Any duplicate accounts we discover will be
deleted without warning.
4. Usernames, Signatures, Avatars, Posts,
Private Messages, Talk in Chat, etc. may NOT contain foul
(profanity) language, be sexually explicit, or be in such poor taste as to
offend even a truck driver. Automatic censoring will pick up the most offensive
swear words and replace them with our "censored" icon. You also are not allowed
to space out swear words, replace one character in a swear word with an
asterisk, or use any alternative spelling to avoid the auto-censor. That means
do NOT make a swear word using #$!@ or any symbols along with
letters and other numbers. You will be fairly warned once. A second offense you
will be strictly prohibited from doing it again under any circumstances. A third
offense and you will be removed from the website.
5. No obscene/adult material. This means you are not allowed to post links to
such pictures, sounds, animations, etc. Do not post adult or sexually-oriented
material or links to sites containing such material. KMA Offroad Jeep Club is a
family-oriented website and as such we make every effort that the content is
suitable for everyone.
6. No attacks, bashing, insults, or flames - be it on someone's vehicle, their
person, beliefs, religious beliefs, race, national background, sexual
orientation, or whatever. This means NONE!!! This is one of our most important
rules. If you have a problem with somebody, do not flame them in our forums.
Take it somewhere else. No flaming of ANY kind is welcome here. The quickest way
to get banned from our website is to break this rule. FLAMING-: .Click
for Definition This
includes public posts, group posts, Private Messages, Chat Rooms, or contact
methods supplied by the member on this site. If you think your Jeep is better
than another members Jeep then keep it to yourself. We are a Jeep community. Not
a mine is bigger and better than yours community.
7. Post in the correct forum. Read the entire thread before posting. Make sure
you are posting on-topic. Posting something unrelated to the original post is
called being off-topic. While this is permitted somewhat as long as it develops
out of the original post and remains at least vaguely connected to the issue,
starting to post about something completely unrelated to it is not allowed. In
such a case you should open a new thread for it, if needed. If you feel the need
to converse further about something unrelated with someone you can either PM or
e-mail them, or come to our Chat Room and open a private discussion there. If
your post belongs in another forum or on a new thread, put it there, please.
Your post may be moved by staff otherwise.
8. No cross-posting across different topics and/or forums. Do not post the same
message in multiple threads or forums. Make one post, either a reply or a start
a new thread, in the proper forum, and no more. Once you get a reply to that,
feel free to reply more on that subject. But under no circumstances are you
allowed to open multiple threads on the same topic, anywhere. Hijacking other
people's posts to get answers to something unrelated to the original topic is
not allowed either. If you feel that a general announcement needs to be made
please request that the Moderator or Admin do so.
9. Moderators are responsible for maintaining their respective forums.
They volunteer their time and deserve all the respect that you may offer. From
time to time a Moderator may need to edit, move, or delete a post or an entire
thread. Moderators function as an extension of the Administrators of this site
and have policies that they must adhere to. Accordingly, Moderators have the
final say. If you feel that a decision has been made arbitrarily you may contact
an Administrator privately for clarification. Publicly denouncing the actions of
a Moderator or Administrator is inappropriate.
10. Users may not attempt to place Moderators or Administrators on their ignore
lists, or deny receiving e-mail messages from Administrators. Doing so is
grounds for immediate suspension of posting privileges, or removal from this
site.
11. Users may upload custom avatars. They must be in good taste as determined by
the "Reasonable
Man" definition. They may not be larger than 125x125 pixels, or larger than
15k in size. KMA Offroad reserves the right to alter or remove any avatar that
does not meet these requirements. Please refrain from using animated avatars.
12. Advertisements or solicitation of funds of any type are not permitted
without the prior approval of KMA Offroad Jeep Club. If you have a product,
service, or appeal that you would like to promote, advertise, or plea, please
contact the Administration for approval and assistance.
13. Links to other sites with questionable content are not permitted and will be
removed without notice.
14. Please do not post private/personal information about people you know
without asking their permission first. This includes posting the contents of
E-mails or Private Messages without getting permission from the sender.
Drop in the "Introductions"
forum and introduce yourself so we can get to know you a little better. This is
not a rule but if you could only if to just say hi and you are here. We are all
a family here and welcome you one and all.
Please enjoy your on-line experience here at
KMA Offroad Jeep Cub. As you may see from the above, our few rules are simply
common-sense.
Make sure you have fully read and understand these rules before registering or
if directed here by a moderator for a rule infraction.
