Forum Rules
The Owner and Moderators are not responsible for any information on Midnight-Racing that cause you harm, your vehicle harm, or anyone else any harm. You use all information gathered here at your own risk!
THE BIG RULES: Violation of these rules is grounds for IMMEDIATE banning of your account. If you think we're kidding, think again. Do not post anything that could interfere with the viewing of the forum by other members - including any Java or Java script, MARQUEE or other page altering tags. No spamming the forums. Commercial messages may be removed at the discretion of either a forum moderator or administrators. A link to a commercial website in your post or sig is okay. Posting a thread that advertises or promotes a company, while pretending to be not affiliated with the company is grounds for banning. No flaming of other members to incite or perpetuate a conflict or argument. ANY personal attacks or name calling will get you suspended, if not banned. No flooding forums or threads with pointless posts. Pointless posts or one liner replies to push up one's post count is frowned upon. Repeated posting to disrupt the forum is not allowed. Moderators will delete excessive posts as they see fit. No linking or posting of pornographic or objectionable material. Objectionable material includes graphic gore (i.e. Car Crashes with cut up and dead bodies, or mangled living people) or porn. We know it when we see it. Do not link to websites that are known to have porn, or gore or snuff pictures or videos, real or not. This is grounds for banning. If you argue about the post being deleted you will be banned or suspended. Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself. Do not discuss, suggest, engage, or encourage any illegal activity on the forums. Linking to locations that deal with any such activity is also forbidden. Do not place the forum owner in the position of being perceived as condoning any illegal activity. Posting Information on how to defraud any company or promotion of any kind of illegal or unethical activity is forbidden. Posting under secondary usernames or alias user names other than your main account for the purpose of arguing, degrading or belittling other readers is grounds for having your posting privileges revoked. Having more than one account is grounds for immediate banning. You must have a valid e-mail account in your profile so you can be reached by a forum moderator or administrator. THE LITTLE RULES: These are here to help you (and others) have an enjoyable experience here. Violation of these rules is grounds for a warning and/or a suspension. No signatures with more than 5 lines of text total at a resolution of 1024x768 and/or a single image of 500 pixels wide x 100 pixels tall and 30kb in size. Any violators will have the image removed and/or replaced with our special board sig images. No profanity in subject lines or signatures. We need to project a more professional image and offensive thread titles make the place look like a pikey slum. No Avatars of sexual acts (we do know what these are), bestiality, or graphic violence. Have respect for your fellow posters. Respect both forum moderators and administrators. It is a thankless job that we do, and cleaning up other people's messes is never fun. Questions about the forums, or moderator decisions should be handled by private e-mail or by the private message system. No SHOUTING. Don't use all caps when posting. It is difficult to read and annoying. Try to post to the forum that is most appropriate for the topic being presented. Threads will be moved at the moderators discretion. No cross-posting. (See spamming above). There is no reason to post the same thing in many forums. Cross posts will be deleted at the moderator's discretion. Refrain from gross use of profanity or cr3ative spell1ng to get around the censor filters. Respect the privacy of other members and individuals. Do not post personal information about them (i.e. addresses, phone numbers, passwords, pictures, etc.) These things may only be posted with permission of the person who owns the pictures, numbers, etc. Moderators may delete or edit text until it is determined that proper permission has been given. Observe all copyright laws when posting copyrighted material. Do not post links or instructions, designed to get around copyright laws. Do not post messages that laws which include, but are not limited to, anything that violates a copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or is bound by NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). Threads with the expressed purpose of bashing, flaming and/or defaming of law enforcement officials (police) will be closed down, and/or moved to the deleted thread storage. Thread bumps – annoying, these can be deleted from a thread at the moderators discretion as long as they do not contain any real information in them other than a method to bump the thread. General info: Moderators and administrators frequently review forum messages for those that are in violation of Forum rules. Any messages found to be in violation may be deleted without warning or explanation. The Forum also reserves the right to ban any user, at any time, and for any reason. There are going to be topics and discussions that will have heated debates. Please think before you post and re-read what you type before you post it. Keep your comments limited to the debate at hand and not make this a personal issue between you and another reader. There is tremendous diversity in age, race, gender, language, location (worldwide) and more here and there will be a lot of varying opinions on different subjects. We're all human beings and we we're all drawn to this site because we have a common bond as modified car enthusiasts. It is extremely important when using electronic text based communication, to not read too much into a post. If you go looking to find a flame, you will find one that was never intended. On the other side, people may read what you typed in the wrong way. A liberal use of IMO or emoticons go a long way to keeping things from getting too heated. If you feel you have been personally attacked on the forums, please do not respond in kind, but ask a moderator to step in. Contact a moderator or admin via email or the private message system. The moderators and admins rely upon the users to notify us when a thread is getting out of hand. Please notify us, we can't check each and every thread. Many times, a small word or email will stop a situation from getting out of hand. The Kiddies Board Forum will only retain threads for a maximum of 30 days before they are deleted. BOTTOM LINE: Midnight-Racing is a website for people interested in modified cars, cruises and car shows. Please remember this when posting!
