We have just a few simple rules that we expect everyone to observe. They are just here to help everything run smoothly and make sure everyone has fun. If you ever have any questions about them, feel free to email me.
Different areas may have modifications to the TOS to reflect the needs of that area. If there other guidelines, the moderator of that area will have them posted in that area as a “sticky” thread. Please read them so you understand them.
1. Treat everyone with respect. While we all may not agree with what everyone's opinion, many people come here to get different opinions. Because someone does not agree with you does not mean you should get nasty with them. Treat others with respect and you will earn everyone’s respect in return.
2. We will not tolerate vulgar language, NO exceptions! Not even words with letters XXXXed out. If you have to X out a word then you already know it is bad. We have many younger people that visit here and we want to keep this a place where everyone is welcome and comfortable.
3. No posting of "visit my website" type messages. Links to sites that helps answer someone’s question is fine. We do not want a bunch of "visit my website" type messages or just messages with a link and no more, I don't do it other places and I expect the same respect here.
4. Please refrain from posting about politics and religion. These are two subjects that are sure to cause deep feelings to come about and have no place on a hobby related web site.
5. The above rules are not the only rules, just the ones most likely to come into question. Use common sense when posting and everyone will find the boards much more enjoyable.
6. Registering using more then one usernames is NOT allowed.
7. Privacy Statement: It's pretty simple. We will never sell, give away or allows others access to member’s information. This includes your email address, IP addresses or any identifiable information.
We have a strong "no spam" policy on HobbyTalk and never want to expose our members to it. While we do reserve the right to email any past or present member we have never found a reason to do in the past 5 years.
Violation of our TOS can result in immediate and permanent suspension without notice. Membership on HobbyTalk is a privilege and not a right. This privilege can be taken away for any reason. If your account has been suspended feel free to contact me so we can come to an understanding on further usage.
It is possible that messages that members posts will be used on other parts of HobbyTalk or other media. This could be for, but not limited to, highlighting important news or information on topics covered, compiling FAQs and literature on subjects covered or for promotion purposes.
