I wonder who even looks at the
rules as a refresher.
Some highlights:
1. No flaming: debates are ok, but responding to threads just to incite or start an argument or conflict is not permitted. Personal attacks, if hostile in nature, are not allowed.
2. No pointless threads or excessive posting allowed: Yes, this is an off topic forum, but let's keep the subject matter of an intelligent nature. If you're bored, play a game on your playstation or better yet, wash your car! Posting responses to increase your 'number of posts' is also not allowed.

The Subject line
Please use this to accurately describe what the thread is about. Simply stating: HEY: CHECK THIS OUT! is not descriptive enough. Perhaps try: Check out my new widget instead. Those who are not interested in widgets won't have to check out someone's new toy.
Note that there is no reason to quote the entire post, just use the ". . ." to indicate that only a section of what was originally written is being quoted...
Save some bandwidth!
Also: there is no need to include a picture in a quote... (the most common offense)
And the kicker,
"There is a fine line between censorship and "posting freedom." Please keep in mind that this BBS is intended for auto enthusiasts. It is NOT an 'anything goes' forum...."
And hey, I found this little gem but I can't insert it:
