The general rule of thumb is simple: Contribute to the site in an ethical, positive, or community-entertaining manner. If you do not, you will be given an infraction by an admin/mod.
> Respect my moderators. What they say goes, as if I said it. Period. No exceptions. End of story. If you have a problem with a moderator, post documentation in the Private Support forum.
> No abuse of ANY of the site features.
> Post no illegal comments (racism, threats of bodily harm, etc), copyrighted content, hacking/cracking/password content, or explicit adult content (such as vulgar sexual content/jokes).
> No nudity or graphic visual adult content in Avatars, the Uploads or public Forums.
> Sales or promotion of multiple products, special order items, or services that appear to be business-like (not a single item for sale by a private party) REQUIRE a vendor account. This includes linking to sites with referral links or other for-profit or for-product situations (i.e., free iPods).
> Listing fraudulent, misleading, or otherwise non-existent products in the classifieds. This will result in your personal information being listed publicly on the site as a warning to others.
> No spamming the site.
> No attempting to hack, crash, or otherwise disrupt the MX5 Atlanta server or site.
> No trolling.
> Posting misleading links (i.e., it says one thing but goes somewhere else.)
> Maintain a good fellowship with all members.
> No personal attacks on other members.
> ABSOLUTELY no classifieds hijacking, price comparing, or cross-selling in someone else’s classified listing. (i.e., "You can get it for less on eBay" or "I'll sell you one for less" or "You're asking too much" or "Don't sell Toyota stuff here").
> All private party items for sale should use the Classifieds.
> Please do not register multiple user accounts - one user, one account please. Multiple accounts found will be deleted.
> Do not post a person’s private information (like their address, phone number, email, pictures, and name unless cleared by the moderation team).
> Please keep signatures to standard sizes.
> If there is anyone that you don't get along with, you can choose to ignore them under your Buddy/Ignore Lists (http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/profile.php?do=ignorelist).
> We do not have the time (or desire) to babysit members. There are plenty of members that the administrators wouldn't consider friends, but it's not our job to silence members that we don't agree with. If someone says something that breaks the site rules, the easiest method is to contact that member directly. They have the ability to edit their own posts, and if you ask politely they may choose to do so. If they decide not to, please report the post.

> Violation of any of the rules may result in your account losing several "Infraction Points" After 25 points, the site will automatically ban you.
> Infractions can be given by the moderators.
> You can review your Infraction points in your User CP. If there are none listed, you don't have any.
> Some infractions "expire" after a period of time (i.e., 10 days or a year.) If you accumulate 25 points during any period, you'll be banned.

Why these rules exist?
I created this site as a place for everyone in Georgia with an interest in Miata's who found nowhere to converse with other people of the same passion without having to trawl through masses of unrelated posts on other websites.
This community is a place where I expect everyone to be treated fairly. I never want to see anyone being belittled, bullied, fights break out, or etc. It's a fairly simple premise. I simply ask you to respect the time and effort I've put into this website by acting like a responsible adult. If you're about to post something that you think may upset someone, the likelihood is you shouldn't be posting it, so just think a little bit.
Nobody is exempt from these rules. Be it moderators, vendors, paying members or regular members, everyone will be punished in the same way.
I really like this place and for the most part I like you guys too ;)
So let's make things easy and just avoid creating any drama. The less problems you cause, the less work you make me do, so about it eh?
Thank you,
