Rules & Regulations:
In general, kent's chatroom is a pretty friendly group. I encourage people to meet, make new friends, go for a ride. This tends to keep the bad behavior to a minimum because many of us are known in person, not just by our facebook but also from other sites. Still, keeping any discussion with a few thousand people in it civil and informative, not to mention going in the right direction, is never easy. I believe it's because our members appreciate and follow some simple rules. Please take a minute to look them over in total. They are:
1) Please follow the basic rules. If you are unfamiliar with how to send post generally behave online, here's the link for the most widely excepted rules of behavior on the net.
We like the golden rule too. If you don't know what that is, feel free to look it up. Sending a rude or angry post to the entire list rather than the list admin. when someone breaks a rule may give you instant gratification, but it also makes you part of the problem.
2) Remember how many people will hear what you are about to say. With the advent of the mass communication it is possible to do damage to another person or business way beyond what is right or fair, deserved or not, with one post or comment to thousands of people. Therefore this list's policy is to please keep personal disputes off line. It's OK to repeat your experience's, good or bad but please try & keep it unbiased. If you have any questions regarding a post prior to sending it please feel free to run it by the list administrators at http://jcjht3teen.cbox.ws/
3) Try to word your post so that your tone is clear and understood. Feel free to use smileys if you are joking. They may be silly but they are a well known symbol of humor and as we all know, humor when misunderstood can seem hateful or mean. If your post is misunderstood or has an unintended unpleasant result please make the correction online as soon as you see the problem. It takes no time at all for the furniture in our virtual living room to start flying when a simple statement meaning something else entirely comes off as raciest or biased in some un-socially correct way. jcjhet3teen owners are a VERY diverse group, please keep that in mind at all times.
4) Please be specific in your subject line. If you are replying to a part of a post that basically changes the topic it is correct to change the subject line as well. For example: If the original subject line was: New 916 but the new post is about brake pads it should now read: Brake Pads (was: New 916) The reason this is important is so that someone who wasn't interested in 916's, but might want to read about brake pads, doesn't miss a post they normally would want to read. It also helps find the post later when it's in the archives.
5) One line replies such as "I agree" and "Me too" should always go to the original sender, not to the list.
6) If you are replying to is more than a few day's old it's incorrect to reply to the group. Chances are the original sender has gotten an answer to his question already. If you think it's possible they have not, then please reply to the person directly. If this result's in a discussion the group would enjoy please C2C: them at that point.
7) PLEASE TRIM YOUR POSTS. In most cases it is not necessary to copy the entire post in your reply. Please copy the pertinent part that you are replying to, make sure it is clearly marked in quote brackets and place your answer ABOVE it. To forget to trim or worse, to copy back an entire digest makes the next digest practically unreadable.
The format below is the correct reply style:
I agree with Sam's opinion on the JCJ8 exhaust. I found them very easy to install and I liked the sound level as well. <<<< I found the JCJ8 exhaust perfect for my needs.>>>>
8) No flaming, no profanity, no posts intentionally designed to incite the members no insecurity no bluffing no posting such as posers/snob because we are all equal here. This behavior will result in removal without warning.
9) No blatant dealer/vendor advertising. We strongly encourage dealer participation but spamming the list with ads is against the rules. However, if a member is looking for your product it is considered helpful to reply with price and availability.
10) Questions regarding subscribes and unsubscribes should go to the list administrator at http://jcjht3teen.cbox.ws/ , not to the list.
11) SPOILERS - Spoilers are posting anything the rest of the group doesn't want to know like a movie ending or especially, a race result. It happens the beginning of every anxiously awaited season, somebody all excited about a result will post the list with the results in the subject line or in the text under a currently existing subject line which slaps those who are trying to watch the race when it broadcasts in the face with the results. Please follow the following, simple rules when you post the group, excited about discussing the qualification/race you just watched:
Do not post ANY VERY BAD WORDS as part of your message subject:
"fuck you!!!!", "putang ina!!!", "bitch!", "yawa", "ukinam!"
Put the word WARNING in the subject if you will be posting any sort of MOSTLY BAD WORDS such as:
<<<<< "SEX", "SEB", "SOP" >>>>>
IMPORTANT: WARNING. in other words, if you add a post like "i bored want some sex?!!" to an existing post named
"pictures of grid girls/nude photos/rude words here"
VERY VERY BAD
These rules will apply immediately.
No further question?!
