NJStangers Forum Rules:

General Rules

Below are some simple rules and guidelines that you are required to know and obey as a member of NJSTANGERS.COM Forums. We require these rules for the security and status of the board and for your own safety. Your cooperation with these rules will help us keep the board a fun place to visit. Please visit us often as we enjoy your presence and input. NJStangers does not take any responsibility for member's actions. The views expressed by members of this website do not neccesarily express the views of NJStangers.com.

By viewing our forums you agree to the rules set forth by NJStangers staff.

1.) PERSONAL INFORMATION
Do not post your or others personal information (phone numbers) especially IP addresses. Apart from anything else, this is for board security and your security. Of course this does not include posting your e-mail/homepage address. Living so close this can lead to alot of problems hence the reason it is number 1

2.) HARASSMENT/FLAMING
Any harassment of other members will not be tolerated. Name calling, picking fights,bashing, etc. Do not make posts that incite arguments, or any post that turns to arguments and flame wars, etc. Posts of this nature will not be tolerated and can result in the immediate closing or deletion and the banishment of the orignal posting members account. Any insults or harassments towards staff will result in instant banishment.

3.) REHASHING
When a post is locked or deleted or when member account is suspended and/or banned, it is for a justified reason. Do NOT I repeat DO NOT make another post in continuation of the locked/deleted posts or your account is subject to being banned. Do NOT make a new post demanding explanation of why a post was locked or deleted. If you would like explanation of a closed or deleted post, PM one of the moderators.

4.) MEANINGLESS POSTS
Do not post any meaningless, or any posts that is a waste of server resources and bandwidth. These type of posts are not allowed and will result in your post count being set to zero and the possibility your account being suspended. However there are Select forums (i.e. Premie Section) and select threads may be alloted for "post whoring," but the posts from such threads will (and the threads themselves may) be purged by a Moderator at anytime.

5.) SEARCH FUNCTION
Please use the search function before posting or asking a question. It is a much more efficient and quicker way of getting your question answered. Another reason is to reduce the amount of duplicate posts and to conserve some server space.

6.) PORNOGRAPHY
This or any "not work safe" material is strictly prohibited. Posting, requesting, linking to, and/or trading of such will lead to being banned. There are also borderline sites and/or pictures which we choose to ban; if you post one of these, the post will be deleted, do not repeat this action or you will be banned. If you find a thread that contains pornography, it should be reported to one of the moderators by private messaging.

7.) DISCRIMINATION
The forum has members from many various backgrounds. People's religion, race, political beliefs, age, sexual preference, etc., vary immensely. Please be mature and caring towards others. Offenders will receive one warning only and failure to comply after that will result in being banned. If you have a personal problem with someone on the forum resolve it by private messaging. - NOT on this board or posting in the forum. NJSTANGERS.COM will not tolerate abuse (e.g. racial slurs, etc.) of another member.

8.) SPAMMING/SPAM
Do not post the same or similar thread in multiple forums. This waste server space and is ridiculous. Post your thread in one place only. It will be seen. Also please refrain from posts of a "spam" nature, e.g. posts for free iPods requiring other users to sign-up. Such threads/posts will be closed (or deleted) and the poster may be banned at a moderator's discretion.

9.) FORUM CONTENT/USE OF LANGUAGE
Considering the real-time nature of our forum, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. Discussions revolving graphically sexual situations, [promoted use of] drugs and/or drug paraphernalia, etc. will be deleted from the forum, so please refrain from such content. Forum content also includes language. Although there is an automatic filter that censors inappropriate/profane language, intentional attempts to bypass this filter will result in one warning and then a ban (Anything Goes forum is exempt). The language filter is implemented for a purpose, thus it should not be intentionally circumvented. Please use common sense when posting pictures. Nudity, gore, violent acts (and results thereof) amongst other images are not allowed.

10.) WARNINGS & BANISHMENT
Warnings are issued for misbehaviors or for violations of the above rules. These strikes carry on to all usernames of the same person. Same goes for banishment; when a person is banned, all of their existing usernames are banned as well. There are ways to track usernames of the same person.

11.) Classifieds
It is the policy of NJStangers to permanently ban any member who after a brief investigation is believed to be scamming another member out of money or goods.All for sale transactions must have a thread in the appropriate forum. This policy is to ensure that scam claims are not made when there is no public evidence of the item for sale through the public forum.

The For Sale forum rules are in place to curb scamming and help avoid people with no standing in the community from perpetrating a scam. The ability to use the For Sale forum is a privilege not a right. Any person accused of scamming another member will be given ample time to respond to the claim and/or rectify the situation. All decisions to ban a member from this site will be final.

This policy is intended to help protect the members of this site from being defrauded. This policy is only to identify those who have taken money and never delivered a product. This is an identifiable criminal act and it is those members we wish to remove.

We will not arbitrate disagreements over condition of product upon arrival or any such matters. Any help provided by the staff in these matters is done so at the sole discretion of said moderator.

If your post within a thread is found to have no value to the thread it may be deleted and depending on the situation you may be warned.

If you are going to use this site, take the time to create a proper for-sale thread. Do not just paste a link to another webpage such as ebay or copy and paste from another add. If you do this your thread will be deleted.

NJStangers is in no way responsible for any transaction that takes place through this site.

12.) Meet Rules
Our meets are designed to have a family atmosphere. Any Member should be able to bring their whole family to enjoy the company without fear of worrying about the police or other members that feel they must prove themselves in a parking lot.

If you are on the forums, and feel the need to act in an unsafe manner during any of our meets, you WILL BE BANNED, no IF ands or BUTS. Next time you come around to a meet, you will not be welcome to stay.

Let me say it again, NJSTANGERS DOES NOT PROMOTE STREET RACING.

NJSTANGERS reserves the right to change these rules at any time and the staff's word is final.

If these rules are broken Staff members have the right to ban at anytime. Please consider these rules your warning as to we need to keep the site in a safe and user friendly operation. Ignorance will not be tolerated as an excuse.

If you receive an e-mail/private message from a "Moderator" addressing behavioral issues please don't take it as a personal attack. The Staff are here to assist with making this site run smoothly and this means from time to time Staff may offer corrective suggestions and/or advice.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and familiarize yourself with our forum rules, policies and guidelines. And thank you for your cooperation regarding changes in the rules.

Thanks to Mike, Nam, Beard, Hau, and everyone else at NJTuners for letting us adopt their rules.

ATTENTION

At any joint NJStangers, NJTuners meets, these rules will be VERY STRICTLY ENFORCED. 2 way radios will be in use, and we will know IMMEDIATLY who is messing around.

Thanks for your time,

Chris, John, Mike, Jonathan, Neil, Mike, and the rest of the NJStangers team.
