For various reasons, it has become time to institute rules in the Lounge section. They are as follows:
1. Keep OT-ness to a MINIMUM. If you have something to say that is completely off-topic, think at least twice before posting a response to someone else's thread. Entirely OT posts that are meant to derail a discussion or offend another's opinion will be deleted immediately.
2. Long rants are not allowed. If you have something to say to another user in particular (that will most definitely result in a response), use the Private Message feature. PM the person to keep long, OT (see above) rants to a minimum. No one wants or cares to read your conversation for five pages.
3. Personal attacks will be deleted immediately, several repeat offenses will result in administrator action. Personal attacks, unwarranted regardless, on NEW members will be deleted immediately.
4. Please be respectful of religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and so on. Were not asking you to be politically correct, we just want all to feel welcome here and some may take offense. Keep your language respectful and clean.
Failure to comply with these rules WILL result in moderator action; repeat offenses WILL result in temporary banning and/or post restriction. If a moderator feels like something is offensive or inappropriate, it WILL be deleted. Feel free to PM a moderator if you feel the need to protest a decision, but do it with kindness and respect. These rules apply to EVERYONE, no exceptions.
Another related topic is one of taste and composure. Please make your best effort to be kind and courteous, and respect the fact that others CAN and WILL have differing opinions and views on topics. Take the phrase "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all" to heart, as it will make everyones forum experience more satisfying. Yes, there will inevitably be those whose sole purpose on the internet is to annoy and berate others, through useless, hostile posts. These rules are being put into effect to cut down on needless, destructive forum behavior such as this.
This is a forum BY and FOR Madison Motorsports. That is its main focus and purpose. Recognize and respect that.
- Thank you
