Autopia Forum Rules

Hey All,

Welcome to the Autopia.org! Thanks for visiting this site. These rules apply to you if you have registered to be a member and are logged in and are ready to post.

In order to ensure that everybody has a good time, we have a few rules set up to help everyone out. Do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions, comments or concerns about the rules.

1. First off, Autopia.org is an OPEN FORUM where all brands of detailing products can be discussed freely. You do not have to limit product conversations to brands that are available from our sponsors. This isn`t an open door invitation for Spam or shilling by non sponsoring vendors or manufactures. URL`s or links to other retail detailing stores are prohibited. If you are a detailer or car owner not affiliated with a vendor or brand and want to honestly have unbiased product discussion, this is the place.

2. Please refrain from arguing, slamming, bashing or profanity in the public forums. We do encourage spirited debate and conversation. Just be polite and courteous at all times. If you feel that you are being attacked, harassed or stalked at anytime, let a Moderator or the Administrator know about it and the problem will be addressed ASAP.

3. ATTENTION MANUFACTURES & VENDORS - NO SPAMMING OR SHILLING ALLOWED!

4. No buying, selling or want ads. If you have new or used items to sell, we suggest that you visit a website that is designed to accommodate member to member sales such as Amazon.com or Ebay.com.

5. POSTING PICTURES - No provocative, pornographic or obscene photos on may be posted. If you are posting vehicle photos, we ask that you make license plates unreadable out of respect for the privacy of the owner of that vehicle. Pictures with a width of 800 pixels or less work best.
