1. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting. Users consistently posting to the wrong forum may be given a warning (see policing below).

2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning. In addition to this posts containing Racism, Ageism, and Sexism are not tolerated at ANY time, and will also result in a warning.

3. Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If members note an issue, which contravenes something in this policy document, they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the Moderators Team. Only do this if a moderator team member has not replied within 2 hours. Members who consistently "act" as moderators may be warned.

4. Members should post in a way that is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive (more than 5 or 6) numbers of emotions, overuse of large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g.?!?!?!! and ?????) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned. In addition to this, the use of “TXT TLK” is NOT permitted, as it is unreadable.

5. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new topic. Examples of bad titles include; "Help me!” "I'm stuck!", etc. Examples of good titles include; "Advice needed for mk2 cag", "Broken faring, please help", etc.

6. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes plugging company websites, over-plugging personal websites and other forums.


7. The moderating, support and other teams reserve the right to edit or remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, Spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not users. And admin has the right to change signatures or avatars without notice, if necessary.

8. CagClubUK operates a three-strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum of three times for any and all offences in a three month period. If the need arises for a fourth warning a temporary ban will be put in place of between 1 to 7 days.

11. Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a temporary ban will be put in place as above.

12. Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact the relevant team leader, e.g. if warned by a moderator you should contact the Moderator team leader. If they feel you were treated badly they remove a warning. If you feel their decision is also unfair you may contact Admin. Their decision is final. Contacting group members over warning matters should be done so as a very last resort. Admin do not want to be bothered unless vital.

13. Any attempt to circumvent (get round) a temporary ban will lead to that ban being made permanent. Circumvention includes re-registering under a non-banned username, changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban, registering a new email account of evade an email ban. Circumvention includes posting as an anonymous user.

14. An exception to the three-strike rule applies when users contact team members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban.

15. Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them. While we may consider lifting permanent bans from time to time this is a rare occurrence.
The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging / shoutbox / instant messaging. Abuse of the private messaging / shoutbox / instant messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of these services.

16. All users have there right to an opinion. We do not remove this like other similar sites. If an opinion of a bike etc is asked for, please post constructive comments only. remember no one can see emotion over the internet, so be careful how you word things.

These Rules Apply To Everyone.
