https://i31.tinypic.com/2agt16d.jpg (NOTE: These rules can and will be enforced with Point Deduction, if deemed necessary!) 0. THIS FORUM IS NOT THE MARKETPLACE (http://www.hondamarketplace.com/)! Post in the Mid-West Regional Sales (http://www.hondamarketplace.com/zeroforum/64) forum if you want to be region-specific. 1. Search (https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch) (See Below for a visual tutorial) 2. Use common sense when attempting to make new threads. If the topic seems like it's been covered before, bump an existing thread. If the topic is broad, and could be covered more thoroughly in one of the Technical Forums (https://honda-tech.com/zeromain/3), post there instead. 3. Reporting Etiquette (http://images.honda-tech.com/new/1/report.gif) - Please make sure to use this when necessary. If you see someone getting out of line, don't comment, click the Report Button (http://images.honda-tech.com/new/1/report.gif) under their username and leave a brief message as to why you disagree. This will leave a PM with the moderating staff, and they will deal with it. It's also a good way to let us know about dead image links in the FAQ's, or outdated FAQ information. 4. POSTING GUIDELINES: - a. Use proper grammar and etiquette when posting, especially when making new threads. Sloppy thread titles are cause for an instant lock, with possible point deduction. - b. Bumping - You're allowed to bump once, so use it wisely (General rule of thumb: wait longer than 4 hours for a bump). A second bump will get the thread locked. - c. "Flaming" will not be tolerated here. First offense, you'll get a verbal warning. Any following offenses will result in point deductions, with an eventual ban. 5. For anything else, make sure to read the Terms of Service (https://honda-tech.com/zerohelp?topic=tos) here on Honda-Tech. 6. Trial User Information: However, All new users are assigned to 'Trial User' status. For the first 14 days of their membership, trial users are only authorized to post 5 times in any 24 hour period. They are also not allowed to select their own avatars. Trial members can be identified by their 'Trial User' title, and the obvious Trial User avatar under their name. After the 14 days trial period and 20 post trial limit, if the user still has a 95% or above user rating, the system will automatically upgrade the account to full access with no restrictions. Dustin 7. Private Messaging Information: Quote »1. Trial Users cannot use this feature. 2. Your pop-up blocker must allow pop-ups from www.honda-tech.com and www.hondamarketplace.com. 3. http://images.honda-tech.com/new/1/im.gif - The icon used for Private Messages. 4. You won't receive new messages instantaneously, you will need to refresh the page you are on or open a new forum/thread on the website to receive the new messages. 5. Moderation notes are sent via PM, so if you're confused as to why your thread/post got deleted/moved, you may want to make sure you can see your PM's. ____________ Search Guide ???????????? First off, PLEASE use the existing resources available here on Honda-Tech for your benefit. You'd be surprised, that a vast majority of the questions you have, have already been answered multiple times. This means using the Search (https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch) feature, and checking your board specific FAQ's (usually stickied to the top of the forum at all times). Keep in mind that re-posts are frowned upon and usually dealt with quickly. For those of you who've been consistently unsuccessful when searching, here's a quick guideline for reference: https://img249.imageshack.us/img249/4305/guidelinessearchxx6.jpg Modified by toyomatt84 at 2:10 AM 5/31/2008
