No directions to trails!!!

1) Insulting other members will not be tolerated

No flaming will be tolerated. Flaming consists of excessive insults of an offensive nature. Flames can be directed toward individuals, groups, companies, etc., and none of these types are permissible. Posts or threads containing flames will be edited, closed, or deleted by the moderators at their sole discretion. The decision of what is a flame and what isn’t rests solely with the moderators.

2) This is a PG-13 site and only PG-13 material should be posted

The posting of any material which could be considered offensive is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to pornography, graphic violence, and any material which may be construed as illegal in any way (Warez and other file download sites, for example). Any posts which violate this rule will be immediately deleted, and the offending user will be warned or banned at the discretion of the moderators.

3) Do not avoid the swear filter

We have a swear filter for a reason. Cheating the swear filter will result in a warning and then a ban.

4) Thread titles need to actually reflect the thread

When posting a new thread, the title must be representative of the thread’s content. In other words, a thread’s title should inform other users of the topic therein WITHOUT them having to actually enter the thread. Since the other users are here to help you, try to make it easier on them.

5) Post about the topic at hand and make sure you contribute to the discussion

Try to make sure your post will add something worthwhile to the discussion at hand. If all you can say is “yeah” or “that sucks”, then you aren’t contributing any worthwhile information to the community. Remember, in an internet forum all you have to go by is your reputation, and if you don’t contribute, no one will think anything of you. Reminder, sometimes these are a 3 to 5 day temp ban.

6) Chances are your question has been asked before.

Before posting a new thread, try using the “search” function of the website. We understand that sometimes you won’t be able to find the answers to your question, and in that case we welcome you to post a new thread. However, many times people post threads that are re-posted almost every day. Sometimes there are even multiple threads on the same topic that are on the front page at the same time! That is simply unacceptable, as it unnecessarily sucks up site bandwidth. Once you’ve determined that the search function isn’t helping, put a little note in your new thread to let people know you already tried searching; that way they’ll be more eager to spend time helping you out.

7) Do not post in old threads

Do not revive “dead” threads. That means, if a thread hasn’t gotten a reply in over a month or is more than 10 pages back from the main “current threads” page, you generally should not post in it and bring it back to the top. We obviously didn’t care enough about it to keep it going then; we still don’t care so don’t bring it back. We realize that there may be occasional exceptions to this rule but they are uncommon.

8) Let the Moderators correct other Users. It is your job to report the violating posts to the staff.

If you see a violation of these rules occurring, please do not attempt to correct the offender yourself in any way. That’s why moderators exist. Simply PM the moderators of the nature of the infraction, and a link to the thread, and they will handle the situation in a method they deem appropriate. When six users jump on another user for an infraction, all it does is send the thread down the tubes and cause general disruption. Let the moderators do the dirty work.

9) All decisions rest with and are made by the moderators and the staff of OffRoad RedNecks in general.

All decisions made by moderators are final and non-negotiable. Moderators may interpret these rules as they see fit and may act on those interpretations. If you feel you have been disciplined unjustly, send a respectful PM to one of the moderators and we will explain to you why actions were taken. Threats or arguments with the moderators will result in further and more severe actions.

10) Please wait for your thread to be answered with patience

No "upping" will be permitted. If no one responded to your thread, that means they didn't want to. Upping simply perpetuates a thread that will not be answered. Uping is simply posting something meaningless in a thread so it returns to the top of the forum.

11) There is already a picture thread please put your pictures there

Pictures of your Truck should be put into one of the picture threads. Exceptions are only for trucks with something very special/unusual about them. It's at the moderators discretion. Threads with pictures which should have been put into the picture thread will be deleted. Any user posting text or non-truck pictures in the thread will receive a temporary ban.
