All other forum rules also apply to the 'sigs' area. Promoting car clubs or other car forums is not permitted and will be dealt with on a user by user bases. Clubs or forums who charge membership fees or have forums with commercial advertisers are considered commercial on this forum .
You will receive commercial warnings for your signatures and or be banned.

This site point system is automated. If you are found to be violating a rule you will be warned at a touch of a button. The system is fully automated after that. You may reply to the warning and it will be sent to queue for an administrator to review. Do not repost your item until you have heard from the admin. Failure to abide by this rule may result in a banning situation
Personal Attacks
Personal attacks will not be tolerated and are subject to editing, or deletion at the discretion of the moderation team. Offenders will be warned and may even be banned.
Personal attacks stemming or taking place on other forums towards our staff will be treated as if they are posted here.
Trolling
Trolling, which is known as making posts with the sole intention of creating discontent or problems on the forum is prohibited.
This includes registering an alternate id for the sole purpose of creating problems on the forums. Troll Ids will be locked immediately and permanently and can be locked without notification to the offender.
A second ID by the same person on this site is considered trolling unless you have permission from the site owner to be using a 2nd ID.
Generating, or creating posts on other forums to cause a disturbance on our forum is also considered trolling. We reserve the right to cancel and or delete your account without notice.
Threats
Threatening other board members will not be tolerated. This includes threats of physical violence, threats of property damage & death threats.
Sponsor Bashing
Our paying sponsors deserve respect and restraint. Attacking a sponsor on the board is inappropriate. If you have a complaint with a sponsor, you may post the information in the appropriate forum and show the facts pertinent to the problem at hand. If you do post on the board about a specific problem involving a sponsor, please remain calm and state the facts. Do not let emotion cloud the issue at hand. We really hope situations can be resolved off-line but we will not prohibit a statement of fact but we will control the thread so as to stop the hate or me too replies these threads often generate.
Spamming
Please do not spam our forums. Spammers will be given violation points and possibly banned immediately.
Spamming is defined as trying to lead people away from the current site. Ie: please join site xxxxx
Users found posting links with the sole intention of taking members away from our forum will be warned and banned. If the situation continues the link will be banned.

The spamming rules apply to private message areas as well.

Controversial Topics
Controversial topics, such as religion, political debates, etc are allowed here... However, it is expected that you conduct these discussions in a calm, civil manner without resorting to personal attacks or flaming. If you are unable to do so in these discussions, you may find your posts removed from the thread.
Staff will declare topics controversial or not at their discretion.
Commercial Posts / Vendors
Please message GregK directly, or send me an e-mail at [email]admin [.at.] CMOC.ca[/email].
All non-sponsoring commercial posts will be removed and warnings given out. Your advertisement may be deemed commercial at the staffs’ discretion. You may question the warning and points given for the violation, but 9/10 it will stand. Some reasons your post may be deemed commercial is because you’re selling multiple new items in a post, multiple new items among posts, selling items with an business email (smith @ carparts . Biz) etc etc
Selling items through private message will be looked upon in the same manner. Warning points will be issued.
All advertisers are subject to local tax! We reserve the right to cancel advertising at anytime for any reason. It is our practice to refund any monies owing.
If your advertising expires, this does not give you the right to continue or solicit business. All vendors are asked to finish up current dealings and if approached, tell the potential client you’re not a vendor of the forum and you cannot service them. Soliciting via private message or taking business off the board is considered commercial
