House Rules

It seems some members have pushed their luck. In return you get reminded of the (now updated) house rules. Please follow them if you wish for this forum to succeed:

===================================================================

A while ago we had the house rules up, they were taken down as the forum was going well so we assumed things could just run their course. Since we have a lot of new traffic here I've decided to repost the rules for the remainder of the season.

Firstly Not606 is a Fresh Start for everyone. This means any grievances you may have with other members should be left at the door. So far everyone has been given a fresh start and this has allowed our forum to grow healthily. Insulting fellow Not606'ers is not welcome here and any insulting posts will be removed. If you are unable to post without insulting members then you will be shown the door.

House rules:

-Play nice! Try and be civil to everyone
-Respect everyone's opinions even if you disagree
-Please avoid personal insults ### Any post with an insult towards another member, regardless of its quality, will be removed ###
-No WUM articles (See definition below)
-No accusing people of being WUMs or Trolls just because their opinion differs to yours.
-Where you make heavy use of material from elsewhere, please say where it came from.
-No Spam posting - meaning repeatedly posting the same content, making multiple threads, or repeatedly advertising a website/service
-Refrain from posting new threads when an existing thread covers the same topic.
-No Racism or other forms of discrimination
-No slanging matches with other users. Either report them or Ignore them!
​

Wum Articles

A WUM article is any article aimed at provoking a reaction from other users of the forum. Any article containing attacks on an individual, whether a figure in the sport or forum member, is a WUM article. To avoid this, when stating something controversial, please make sure you use some sort of reasoning and logic, ideally with some facts.

On breaking the rules:

Every case will be viewed independently by all 3 mods.

The ignore function:

Sometimes there will be someone who you simply can not see eye to eye with. Debate is always good but sometimes a line can be crossed without the house rules being broken. There is a way round this!
Click on the persons profile and then under their avatar you can press "add to ignore list". This will make all of their comments invisible to you like they where never there.
Ignore list
Of course if you feel a member is being problematic then a message to a Mod could also be advisable.


Play nice folks!
and remember, Any post with an insult towards another member, regardless of its quality, will be removed

Off Topic
The dedicated off-topic board is for discussing any non-F1 related matters, and is also where all forum games are ran.

[These rules were drawn up by our members for our members]​

 

To discuss ideas for the forum see:

Forum Ideas

and

Not606 F1 Board meeting

 

Just a quick reminder:

If you see a post which you think is "naughty" either press "report" or PM a mod. That way we can investigate it much sooner. No amount of a slanging match will make the original post go away.

Also, remember the IGNORE FUNCTION, click that link and then enter the name of the member you wish to ignore. Their posts will never appear to you so its like they've been deleted and banned, before that really happens

Edit: This thread has been opened for those who wish to discuss the house rules.

 

Miggins & Jimbo,

The ignore list is a great thing but so is Personal messaging (PM)...

As for Chelsea Forever, he was a LewisWDC/PMC clone that has been sent to the scrap heap along with the rest of his fails. Unfortunatly we may expect more so please if you have any suspicions PM a mod. Dont voice them over the public forum as that breaks one of the rules above 'No accusing people of being WUMs' and possibly also the rule 'Please avoid personal insults'

 

Excellent advice there Bando.
PMs are the simplest, most effective and perhaps more important still; most discrete ways of dealing with potential trouble, since what is said is not public and consequently is far less likely to further inflame a situation.

 

Well I'm buggering off to Scotland again, be good guys

 

Have fun. And don't forget some pictures for Pits 2.0 this time!

 

Oh yeah, will do

 

Don't forget to put the new background up lol hahaha

 

I shall now obey every rule you guys set. I am at your mercy (but please stop editing my inoffensive posts, it wears me out a bit)

 

The thread we shall not speek of seems to have been deleted now

Yay!

 

How very obliging…

 

I'm back to my normal self now. The ban made me realise i'd been a complete arse.

 

Is there a way of seeing if you are on someone's ignore list?

 

Not as far as I know.

 

Well, thanks to their sig I can see I am on one persons list anyway

 

Ha Ha. What did you say about schumacher?

 

Nothing that isn't true

 

My god the banners changed.

 

A shocker I know
