Oldie but a goddie

With all the spam we had today I thought it’d be good to bring this back so it’s fresh and in a spot for people to read. If anyone has a problem with what was done fell free to PM me about it.

Hello members of ScinergyIA and users of www.scinergyia.com. Our club started more than two years ago as a group of four Scion owners that just wanted to hang out with other scion owners and have some fun. Since that time we have grown into the largest and most active free Scion owners’ club in the Midwest. Since we are a large club we are destined to have personality conflicts from time to time. We will always present ourselves as a professional and respectable group. Therefore we must now have some guidelines to govern our conduct on the website. These are not difficult guidelines to follow and are not in any way beyond the capabilities of any of our users.

This Code of Conduct is in effect as of now. The rules have been agreed-upon by your club President and Vice-President and are not open for debate.

We are still the same club with the same values. Friendship, support, and a love of our vehicles are still our prime focus. We will continue to promote the Scion brand in the fashion we always have with enthusiasm and support. These rules will only serve to strengthen our values and make our club a better place to be.

Here they are:

ScinergyIA Website Code of Conduct
Please note these apply to all areas of the website, including but not limited to the forums, and Chatroom

Be polite. All other rules will mostly be a clarification of this rule so you should probably read it again. Keep a polite and civil tone in everything you do on the site and it should all be smooth for you.

Keep your posts relevant and helpful.
-Be helpful and do no harm!
-Post that have veered off topic or bashing WILL be redirected, split, locked, or deleted in that order.
-Any personal attack to a member, that member’s family, or pets will not be tolerated.
-You ARE allowed to disagree. Simply keep your criticism constructive instead of abusive. If you can’t say it nice, don’t say it.

Make sure that the forums are kept family-friendly. We are a family friendly club and will present that as our public face both in reality and cyberspace.
-Use only language acceptable in public. Misspelled profanity is still profanity. If you must cuss, use "#&$*#@%!!"
-The same applies to images. If it isn't appropriate for display in public, it isn't appropriate for display on our site.

If you are having problems with another member, please bring those problems to one of the website admins. These members are Roy (IAxB), Joe (Scion515), Alex (grizzly_choppers), and Mark (Point_oH). We will handle the situation.

Members of our club and our website found to be in frequent or flagrant violation of these rules are subject to dismissal from both the site and the club.

If you have any questions regarding these rules pleas don't hesitate to ask. there will be a link to these rules from the home page, as soon as Joe gets a chance to add it.
