Z28.com’s forums were created to
form a friendly environment for F-body enthusiasts to interact in a family orientated environment.
In order to foster this friendly interaction and create an environment where ALL enthusiasts feel
comfortable posting and hanging out, we have created a set of rules/guidelines which all members
are required to follow. These rules are general in nature, as it is impossible to single out every
possible offense that may result in a thread being locked, deleted, or edited.

Rules List (Last Revised 4.28.06)
Post in Appropriate Forum Sections
Please try and post your topics in the most appropriate
forum (I.E. tech threads only in tech forums). If you post a thread that would be more appropriate
in another forum, a moderator will move it for you. If you are dealing with a TECHNICAL topic and
it could appropriately fit in more than one forum, you may post it in multiple forums. Multiple
posting should be held to a maximum of 2 forums (E.G. LT1 engine tech, LT exhaust)
Controversial Topics
Controversial topics, such as religion, racism, politics, abortion,
retardation, etc., are NOT allowed. These topics start out civilized, but over time invariably develop
into all out flame wars and heated arguments.
Posting “attitudes” need to be kept in a civilized manner.
Trolling
“Trolling” or, making posts with the intention of creating problems
on the forum are obviously against the rules. This includes registering an alternate ID for the sole
purpose of creating problems on the forums. “Troll ID’S” will be locked immediately and permanently, and
can be locked without notification to the offender.
Flames or Derogatory Insults
Direct insults towards other members are strictly prohibited. If you
disagree with another member, reply in a mature and civil manner. Do not respond unless you have something
positive or helpful to add.
If you find yourself being harassed by another member, please DO NOT
satisfy them with a reply. Notify a moderator/administrator immediately to let us handle the situation.
If you feel you must respond, please DO NOT do it on the board. Use private message or e-mail. If you are
still fighting the urge to reply, click on that person’s profile, and select “Add to ignore list”. This
will make that person’s posts invisible to you.
Attacking Forum Moderators/Z28.com
Attacking Forum Moderators/Administrators will not be tolerated.
Posting a thread or reply to question or criticize a moderator/administrator action is not appropriate in
a public forum. Please utilize the board’s private message or e-mail if you with to discuss any issue.
Treat us as you wish to be treated. Bring up your issues and concerns in a mature and civil manner to the
moderator/administrator. We will do our best to address all issues and/or concerns.
Threads/replies
attacking Z28.com’s policies will not be allowed.
Expletives
Expletives (swear words) are NOT allowed. Many people are deeply
offended by vulgar language. If you feel you must swear to get your point across, please censor your
language appropriately so as to not be overly offensive (e.g. "S***!") Replacing one or two letters
in an expletive by using ASCII characters (! for I, etc) is not an acceptable solution.
Bypassing
the language filters is prohibited!
Spamming
Spamming or business advertisements by businesses that do not sponsor
Z28.com are not allowed. Threads or private messages determined to be "spam" will be deleted or forwarded
to the administrator which could possibly result in revoked privileges or deletion from our board without
notice. Lottery schemes being advertised on this board are considered spam. Excessive advertisement or other
"for profit" forums are also considered spam, and will be dealt with accordingly.
If you are interested in sponsoring Z28.com please contact our Administrators.
Porn
Porn is not welcome here. Pictures showing nudity are NOT
allowed in our off-topic section even if an appropriate “Not Work Friendly” warning is posted in the
subject line. Nothing over a PG-13 will be permitted. R-rated, X-rated pictures, sites or links are and
will remain strictly against the rules. If you have a picture that is questionable, send it to a moderator
through a private message/e-mail before posting it.
Avatars or Signatures
Avatars, user titles, and signatures must be WORK SAFE. Please keep
that in mind when adding them. If you put something offensive or unsuitable in there, we will turn off
your avatar and or signature privliges.
Signatures are limited to 500 pixels width x 150 pixels height or less.
Avatars are limited to 100 pixels x 100 Pixels
Signature tests and avatar tests are allowed in the "scrap yard" section, where posts do not count towards your post count.
