| Forum Rules |
| Welcome to the club forum FAQ! This is the best archive of information on how to keep your 75 or ZT on the road and in excellent condition. The content is almost entirely from club members and as a result of their own experience - so remember it's sound advice being given. The club is also a community, and these forums are a great place to talk about subjects other than your car. You'll see we have a social section which you will find all sorts of subjects being discussed. Overall these forums are provided to help you, no matter how insignificant the task. These forums are also free to read and to make contributions, but we do have a framework of rules which are set out below. The rules are to help ensure the place remains friendly and non-confrontational where people respect the opinions and beliefs of others. 1. You should remain courteous and respectful to other users of the forums at all times. You may obviously not agree with some views but do not let it descend into arguments or abuse, either publicly or via the Private Messaging (PM) facility. If you consider a post to be offensive then you should report it, not take matters into your own hands. 2. You may not use obscene language within the forums. These forums use a swear filter that will delete words contained within its list and notify the moderators if it has to step in to edit your post. It works by replacing the offending word with a series of asterisks. However, we have a lot of children that read the forums, generally with a parent or the slightly older ones on their own. Parents can have some difficulty in explaining what all the *** words are and more so those that are typed in e.g. t**t. In light of this and our determination to ensure these forums are suitable for any age group to view, you must also not attempt to evade the swear filter by any means including: 2.1 using special characters to blank out part of the word 2.2 using spaces between letters 2.3 adding offensive terms inside other words 2.4 misspelling the word 2.5 using a language other than English for an offensive word or term Ignoring this rule may result in a warning for invoking the swear filter and a summary seven-day ban for deliberate evasion, followed by a permanent ban for repeated non-compliance. Basically there is no need to use such language. So don't. 3. Consider carefully your username when registering. We do not allow names that will cause offence to others or be of an adult nature. 4. You may not publish or provide links to content that is unlawful, abusive, or a nature deemed to be adult, racist, or derogatory to minorities or gender. 5. You are prohibited from posting any material that may infringe on any intellectual property rights, copyright or trademark or any rights of any third party. 6. You may not publish non-contributory or irrelevant information. This is considered to be forum spamming and will result in a ban being served. 7. You may not re-publish content that has been removed by a forum moderator. If you have a query regarding a deleted post then you should ask a forum moderator via the PM facility, where you will be given details as appropriate. 8. You may not use the forums for commercial gain without the explicit agreement of the forum owners and purchasing a Trader Subscription. This includes advertising goods and services either publicly or via the PM facility. Furthermore, the PM facility CANNOT be used for unsolicited trading by ANY MEMBER of the forum - regardless of subscription level. 9. You may not attempt to collect personal information of other members, harvest email addresses or use the content of these forums for commercial gain. 10. Do not advertise commercial products unless it is to aid another members with a problem. 11.You are prohibited from taking any action to disturb the use of the forum by other members. 12. Multiple logins are not allowed, ALL accounts which prove to be multiple accounts will be removed including the original account. 13. The club will not be held liable for any legal repercussions arising from the posts made by registered subscribers. Any legal action which arises from a posting you make on The 75 & ZT Owners Club forum will be your own responsibility. The 75 & ZT Owners Club obligations under such circumstances would be to delete the offending message in order to comply with the law under the Defamation Act 1996. Any litigation for defamation, libel, or otherwise highly offensive or illegal content would then rest entirely with you as the "original author" of the content. 14. - For Sale & Wanted Sections We are keen to ensure that the ability to buy and sell items is as easy and convenient as possible to all people who frequent the club, so anyone can view the For Sale & Wanted sections. However, due to continued abuse by opportunists and profiteers there are some important points with which you are required to comply. 14.1 - Use of the For sale section is for subscribed members only. If you wish to advertise an item in this section you are required to subscribe as a member. To do this, click on the Subscribe button at the top of any forum page. The club cannot be held liable for any adverts published for the sale of goods and or services, either by members or by any other organisation 14.2 - Items posted for sale must carry the asking price. Asking for offers is not allowed. 14.3 - For your own personal security we do not allow the publication of telephone numbers or email addresses. You must use the Private messaging facility or the thread of your for sale item for people to ask questions and contact you 14.4 - While we are not liable for the actions of either a seller or a buyer, and prefer to not be involved in dispute resolution, we ask that you use common sense when offering an item for sale. Always ensure that payment has been made in full before releasing an item, and if there are any issues with providing your item to the person wishing to buy it you must communicate with them immediately and make arrangements to return any monies sent to you. 15. Your political views are yours, and yours alone. Other forums exist for the purpose of debating this topic. You may not use these forums to promote political beliefs or to encourage or persuade others to conform to your views. Criticism or review of Government activities is however permitted, but only if done in a non-abusive and polite manner. 16. If you publish content provided for the care and maintenance of the Rover 75 and MG ZT models, you are deemed to be donating it for the benefit of club members and have released copyright ownership to the club. When published you may not delete such information at any later date without providing the club the opportunity to save the content for future use. 17. If you are unhappy with a decision made by the moderators of the forum then you should inform the Directors of the club, either via the PM system or in writing via email to director@the75andztclub.co.uk. We treat grievances promptly and seriously, and do not allow public debate on such matters. 18. The use of the club's name, address, images and any Logos are strictly forbidden without obtaining prior permission in writing from the Directors. Failure to comply with any of the forum rules may result in your posts being deleted and your account being removed from the 75 & ZT Owners Club forum. The club reserves the right to amend or modify the rules without notice. |
