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)

Free Posts
“Free posts” or posting solely for the purpose of boosting your post count is not allowed. Many people judge members credibility based on post count, so please obtain your post count legitimately. Furthermore, free posts waste server space and ISP bandwidth unnecessarily. Threads to announce your post count are considered free posts and will be locked. Abusers will have their post count started back to zero.
Signature and avatar tests will be allowed in the “The scrap yard” forum where posts do not count towards your post count. In other forums they will be treated as free posts.

Poop Threads
E“Poop” threads or similarly immature and offensive topics (graphic sex or sexual acts) are NOT allowed.

Drugs/Illegal activities
Threads/replies promoting illicit drugs/narcotics will not be allowed. Also, threads/replies encouraging other illegal\unethical action (i.e. best way to kill neighbor’s dog”) will NOT be allowed.

Police Bashing
Persistent or purposeful “cop bashing” is not allowed. Referring to a LEO, cop, policeman, etc. is appropriate but unproven defamatory remarks for titles will NOT be tolerated.

Posting Harmful URL’s
Any member that posts malicious or a harmful URL links that cause other member’s PC’s to become locked or have to be rebooted in order for the PC to regain functionality is subject to losing posting privliages
“screaming” content may also be considered harmful if it cannot be viewed safely around all audiences

Violation of the forum rules/guidelines

First Offense -Warnings will be given via private message, e-mail, and/or moderator reply in the offending thread.

Second Offense – could result in a Temporary Ban which will consist of a Three (3) day lock of your ID depending on the nature of the offense.

Reapeated Offense – longer ID lock, possibly permanent.

Please realize that the nature of the offense will determine the action to be taken. If the violation is extreme enough, or has been repeatedly warned enough in the past, a member can have his/her ID locked without warning. Threads or replies that do not comply with our guidelines may be locked, edited, or deleted, depending on the nature of the offense. We will make every effort to state why such action was taken via private message, e-mail, and/or moderator reply in the offending thread. For this reason, we ask that you check your private messages often. You can find out whether or not you have received any private messages by logging into your usercp. You can set your options so that the board notifies you when you have received a private message if you so desire.

The above rules and guidelines are necessary to make Z28.com’s forums comfortable and more enjoyable for ALL F-body and automotive enthusiast.

If you feel you cannot comply with the rules above, please refrain from using Z28.com’s forums.
