Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
Because Internet, there need to be some very basic ground rules.
Rule 1: Don't be a dick.
That's pretty much it.
For clarification:
* Being a smartass is different than being a dick. If you can't handle smartasses, go away.
* If you ARE a dick, the stuff you write will get deleted. If you KEEP being a dick, you'll get booted.
* "You're not the boss of me" - well, I kinda am, at least here. So don't be a dick.
These rules may be revised or amended at any time in the future if it is determined that people are still being dicks.

Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Re: Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
If you are a dick to other people here, and you get called out, stop. You're acting butthurt, and you look silly.
Me and my ragtag group of semi-literate moderators (well, there's one guy currently, but I don't think he's confirmed his email address yet) will look out for dicks and intervene if it seems appropriate, but the goal will be to avoid the heavy-handed moderation unless some is really being...you guessed it...a dick.

I believe the suggested revision is redundant.

Re: Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
"Don't be a dick" is not limited to just this forum.
Some people seem to feel like being a dick in another forum and are, in the process, hurting the reputation of this site and the rest of us here.
Not funny. Not cool. Not not a dick.
Enough.

Re: Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
Say some guy comes into this forum and posts a disseratation on how water may be going into his engine via the air box during a car wash..... and I say something like stop being a vagina.... and he calls me a dick? Does that actually count as being a dick? Sometimes I walk the line between smart ass and a hole. But I felt like, in this case especially, the OP earned it.
Re: Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
If you are an otherwise contributing member of the forum, not a dick. If you then come over here and post to draw attention to said thread, dick. If all you are doing is posting such responses to such blatant stupidity, dick.AnthonyS wrote: ↑Tue May 22, 2018 7:03 am Say some guy comes into this forum and posts a disseratation on how water may be going into his engine via the air box during a car wash..... and I say something like stop being a vagina.... and he calls me a dick?

Now if someone seriously posted (note that "Opie antics" qualify as dick) such a thread here, most bets are off.
Re: Forum Rules and Regulations: Don't be a dick
Also, some people have different definitions of what is being a dick so err on the side of not being a dick in all potentially dick circumstances.
