New Penalties

photn · 25-03-2009, 07:35 PM

As of recent events i feel its my duty and obligation to warn anyone that attends this part of the Ford Forums of the rules and regulations imposed.

i know that myself and Zetec will enforce these rules under guidance from the moderators of course (report function) to maintain order and peace within the Euroford community as i believe that it is imperative that the sexual commentation and the degrading comments made in this part of the forum is no longer due.

This is not a stab at anyone nor is it a emontially filled post. i will agree that recent events have led me to post this up and i believe the users in these parts should be warned and informed.

New Rules that will govern the Small Fords section and the rest of the Ford Forum site.

You should have put it into a nice spreadsheet to make it easier to read.

ohh it still is,

im just saying that these are the new rules that will now be enforced onto the whole site,

i thought it would be a good idea to post it in here to let people know the penalties are, no special treatment will be given to the small fords section that i am aware of, but as i said, i thought we could benifit from the information.

It should be noted that all members are bound by the AFF site terms and conditions, that they agreed to when they first registered as a user.
There has been nothing added to the site T&C, and members should already be well aware of the fact that should they wish to abuse these T & C then they will be held accountable for their actions - always have, & I would presume always will. Whilst the process being utilised now may have changed the actual system is still the same.
