Welcome to the Prelude forum!
HERE ARE THE RULES
0. Trial Users Your Trial period will last approximately 7 days. You can't post in classifieds or the other special forums, you are limted to 5 posts a day. Also, it is not necessary to create posts to say 'Hey guys I'm new!'
1. Classifieds/WTB's: Regular users may post here
FORSALE https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=617401
WANTED https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1004849
these threads are sticky. We prefer you link to an actual classified forum post, for FS. we clean up the FS/WTB threads every 3-4 weeks. Trade posts are also not allowed.
In reguards to asking members 'Where is a good place to find XXX at?'
99% of the time it is a way to get by the rules and ends up in members saying 'Hey I got one for 20 bucks.' Threads like this will be deleted and you will be docked 2% upon moderator discretion.
If you have looked through the classifieds, the FS/WTB threads, contacted our Sponsors, did a search on http://www.google.com and still unable to find an item that is from an actual business ... then contact either 'PrecisionH23a' or 'Satan_SRV' to get permission to post up a thread asking members for good suppliers.

Non-Compliance: Posting pictures of your 'ride', asking for opinions on rims , asking if something is 'rice' or not etc, we will use our discretion
4. E-racing/Bench Racing There is no acceptable use of racing here unless it pertains to an actual track event or drag event which produced ACTUAL RESULTS. No guessing contests on power either.
Non-Compliance: "What would my car run?", "Will I beat a XXXX?", we will use our discretion. We also do not allow 'How much power am I going to make?" threads.
5. RESPECT Respect all users, including new ones just because you've been around doesn't give you the right to be an ***. Unless you have something constructive to add keep it to yourself. Also please respect the majority of us who have a literary education and Do NoT TyP3 LyK3 dIz yO! Type like this and you will be auto docked 2%
Non-Compliance: Insulting newbies, telling people to search bluntly, or buy a helms, being argumentative for no good reason, poor attitude in posts, blatant flaming, condesceding tone in posts, being an ***, warping other people's threads for your own benefit etc.
6. Post Whoring: Will be dealt with most dishonorable vengeance.
Post-whoring is defined by Honda-Tech as the following:
Posts which contain no relevant contribution to the thread, topic, or site
Posting responses to a thread for the sole purpose of boosting post count
Posting derogatory and/or 1-word answers to a topic
Posts/Threads that are meaningless and lack the ability to elicit thought-provocative responses
Posting a short/simple response which shows you replied to the title and not the topic
Posting up something that you have already posted in the past
Also, if a thread is locked it was locked for a reason. Think about what you did instead of creating an identical thread again.
7. BE SPECIFIC: Make titles for threads, and questions clear and to the point! Just like this one. Include all the necessary info like year and model/engine
Non-Compliance: Vague titles, general questions
8. Sponsorship/Group Buys
Only honda-tech sponsors are allowed to post up individual threads containing products that are on special or undergoing design. If you are a sponsor, you are also allowed to ask the general public to gauge interest on the demand of a certain type of product. Non-sponsors are not allowed to use the site to use the site to promote the mass sales/group buys of items. If you want to market a product, then you must be a registered honda-tech sponsor. For more information, go here: https://secure.rely.net/ht-ads/
9. Tech related posts only No off-topic posts will be allowed. Anything that is not tech related is considered OT. Use your common sense on this one. Do not create a thread with the purpose of something OT then later add in 'my battery voltage is low, how to i fix it' type of tech-question. There is also a forum specifically for Appearance / Cosmetic so please post 'what color should I paint my car/rims' and 'what type of body kit' questions in that forum. If you want to know what type of rims will look like on your car, go into GDD and ask some of the members to do a photochop of it. These threads will be locked/deleted. Also, if you are going to complain about a company please do so in GDD. Borderline posts of such will be dealt with at the discretion of the moderators/admins. Also, if you are new here do not make a post telling everyone you are new and here are 4 pictures of your car. You will be docked. Do not make threads listing your set-up then asking us what you should do next. It's your car, not ours. Everyone will list something completely different. Do not ask us how much your car is worth either. These threads will also be deleted/locked. Threads that offer to pay someone money for who ever diagnoses their problem are also not allowed.
10. Copyrighted Material Do not post copyrighted material on the board unless you own the rights to do so. This in particularly refers to the .pdf Helms manual and pictures you do not own the rights to. Posting a link for illegal downloadable material is also a violation.
11. Offering payment for answers This is a free site and questions we will not allow members to make threads offering the 'winning answer' a cash prize. We encourage all of our members to participate and help without having money as a reward. Threads made like this will be subject to a loss of %.
12. TRIAL USERSOnce you sign up for honda-tech, you will be a trial user until you have at least 10 posts, belong as a member for 14 days, and do not lose any % points. During this period you are NOT allowed to post in the For Sale or WANTED BAD threads.
If you have a topic that you feels need to be posted in the prelude forum and it is against regulations, send a moderator asking for a thread approval accompanied by the reason it needs to be posted specifically in the forum.
If you are determined to be in Non-Compliance you will have your thread and/or post deleted and/or locked. In addition you will recieve:
1st Offence - Reduction of user rating points
2nd Offence - Reduction of user rating points + loss of avatar
3rd+ Offence - Title changes, more reduction of points, eventual ban
If you feel your punishment was not necessary please read the appeals section of the TOS. Any borderline violations will be dealt with by the discretion of the moderators/administrators. We do not get paid to babysit people and we do not have time to argue over PM for hours at a time. The moderators are here to help the forum run smoothly and help out others. Showing disrespect to the moderators in the use of foul language will result in an immediate ban.
