Specific Thread Rules

b) Posting in 'Technical Q & A' will be entirely restricted to the subject in hand, as it is for the exchange of information only. Periodically, the Club Scuderia support team will visit and remove all extraneous posts/threads without discussion.

c) Posting in 'Running Reports' is restricted to the Club Scuderia Support Team, with the exception on the "discussion" thread which is freely available for that purpose.

d.) Please be careful when using the 'Meets, Track Days & Events' section. It is open to members and non members. Please be aware of this when publicising events; you never know who is watching!


5. Posting in the Social Zone

a) This is an area where, on a social level at least, our conduct is open to all registered users of this site. It is also available to unregistered users, so please play nicely, and if a new user tentatively dips his toe in the water, do not harass, hound or ridicule any user regardless of their situation.


6. Posting in the Club Zone

a) This section is only available to subscribing members of Club Scuderia, but all the same general forum rules apply. Inevitably it will be slightly more loose in the way it is controlled given that most member are personally known to one or more other members, but we will respond to reported posts, and discuss behaviour with the offenders and the offended.


7. Posting in The Bad Boys Zone

a) This zone is off-limits to any users who we can reasonably establish to be under 16. It is for threads of an adult nature, but it is still subject to many of the general posting rules. Users are granted freer use with respect to content, but they are still accountable for their conduct. The Club Scuderia support team will be the sole arbiter of the acceptability of a thread\post


8. Avatars

If you are using an avatar, please do not use an image or text that could cause offence. Animated Avatars are also not allowed as they distract from the main content of a post. The Cub Scuderia support team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not constitute an inappropriate avatar.


9. Login Security

We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and soliciting in signatures is also prohibited.

There is a marketplace available. This is only for advertising single items for sale, not for users wishing to sell batches of merchandise or services.

You will indemnify Club Scuderia, its agents and affiliates from any and all claims brought by any third party relating to content you have posted.


13. Moderator/committee powers

We reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates any of the forum rules, as access to our forums are a privilege and not a right. Any threads/posts of these types may also be deleted or edited.

Bans of 24 hours will not be announced, but bans exceeding this duration will appear in "The Bans Thread" in the "Announcements" section.

There may be occasions at times of crisis where it may be deemed appropriate to implement an immediate 24 hr ban, but the duration of this ban may subject to extension after discussion with the Club Scuderia management team. If this the case then the duration of the extended ban will appear in "The Bans Thread" in the "Announcements" section.

Whilst users may express their opinion to the Club Scuderia management team concerning the validity or duration or a ban, excessive abuse of this privilege may be considered harassment, and may incur additional bans.

Please note: Any request to have your account deleted will be declined.
