Below are some simple rules and guidelines that you are required to know and obey as a member of MyG37.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.

By viewing our forums you have agreed to the following rules:

1.) PORNOGRAPHY
This or any "not work safe" material is strictly prohibited. Posting, requesting 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 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.

2.) DISCRIMINATION
The forum has people from many walks of life. People's religion, race, political beliefs, age 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. G35DRIVER.COM will not tolerate abuse of another member.

3.) OTHER G37/G35 FORUMS/SITES
You are not allowed to post links to other G37/G35 forums or sites, unless the topic on hand is related to the topic elsewhere, but you must link directly to the topic, not the site itself. We pride ourselves on the information available here and on our integrity. We will not be affiliated with any other forum which may have lesser standings on rules and policies. If we catch anyone spamming another site via PM or in the forums they will be banned.

4.) 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.

5.) APPROPRIATE FORUMS
Please post your topics in the appropriate forums. This makes it easier for all members as well as the forum staff. Failure to do so will results in warnings. Multiple warnings will cause banishment.

6.) FORUM SECURITY
Any attempt that is made to gain unauthorized access to our Gallery, database or server will result in your IP address being automatically banned from the forum. As will any attempt to brute force another Member/Moderator/Admin account. This action will be taken immediately and is required for security purposes. We log all IP addresses so can easily find out who is doing what and pass on these details to the relevant authorities if necessary.

7.) 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.

8.) MEANINGLESS POSTS
Do not post any meaningless, roll call posts, or any posts that is a waste of server resources and bandwidth. They are not allowed and will result in your post count being set to zero and the possibility your account being banned.

9.) COMMERCIAL/PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
No commercial or promotional materials or links in posts and signatures. Any posts or signatures that can be competition of our sponsors or MyG37.COM, or obvious traffic stealing posts "may" be removed without notice. Understand that we have sponsors paying money for advertising.

10.) HARASSMENT/FLAMING
Any harassment of other members will not be tolerated. Name calling, picking fights, 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 or editing of the post and the banishment of the posting members account. Any insults or harassments towards staff members will result in instant banishment.

11.) SIGNATURES
Please keep signature sizes down whether it be picture(s) or text. For pictures please keep it below 1MB and at a reasonable resolution. Signatures load on every post, so having a large one will take the page to load longer (especially for those on dial-up). Do not place any advertisements in your signature unless you are an approved sponsor.

12.) POLLS
Polls older than 2 months old will be locked. The reason for this is to make space for newer threads. Polls are bumped every time someone votes; that can cause it to stay on the 1st page all the time.

13.) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
Do not post anything "for sale" if it is not yours. This includes videos, photographs, literature, or anything subject to copyright laws.

14.) SPAMMING
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.

15.) 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 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.

16.) PRIVATE CLASSIFIEDS
The "Private Classifieds" forum is for private sellers offering the sale of individual items. It is NOT for any person, company or business of any size or type (including salvage yards and used parts companies) to sell merchandise of any retail nature or to make a profit. Any company attempting to sell multiple quantities of items or in a retail nature without being a sponsor of this site is subject to being banned.

17.) BUYER BEWARE
Internet scams can happen at any time. The owners and administrators of MyG37.COM are not responsible in any way and cannot guarantee the ability of a seller to complete the transaction or the quality of the items. It is strongly recommended that you use C.O.D. or an online escrow service. Always use common sense and do research on the product and the seller before making any deal.

18.) GROUP BUYS
Members are to post what they would like a Group Buy on, and wait for a sponsoring vendor to reply and set it up from there. If a vendor is willing to make a profit from this site, they should be willing to step up and become a sponsor and give back to the site that is helping them make the profit. Any post made containing information on a Group Buy being handled by a company who is not a paying advertiser of this site will be locked or deleted. Any company attempting to set up or promote a Group Buy without being a sponsoring vendor is subject to banishment. If you wish to set up a group buy and are not a vendor then please follow the Group Buy GUIDELINES.

19.) ADVERTISING
If you are, or do represent a business, and wish to purchase advertising space on MyG37.COM, please contact SPONSORSHIP@MyG37.COM for rate information. If it is brought to our attention that you are a company or business using the MyG37.COM to promote your business or to sell or distribute products or a retail nature, you will be subject to INSTANT banishment, whether it be through your username, signature, postings, etc. For advertising information click here.

20.) FORUM CONTENTS
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.

21.) STRIKES
Strikes or warnings are issued for misbehaviors or for breaking 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.

MyG37.COM reserves the right to change these rules at any time and the staff's word is final.

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 of MyG37.COM 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.
