The Riders Pace site rules.
Here's how to make your stay here at The Riders Pace a pleasant one.
1. Respect both forum moderators and administrators. It is a thankless job that they do, and cleaning up other peoples messes is never fun.
2. Post to the forum that is most appropriate for the topic being presented. Each forum has a sticky that explains the purpose and rules. Look at the top of each forum.
3. No cross-posting. (This is posting the same topic in more than one forum) However, there are times when it's okay to do so. Proceed with thoughtfulness.
4. Observe all copyright laws.
5. Lurk before you leap
6. Think before you hit reply. Re-read it. Your posts live on forever in search engine servers. Remember that we're all in this together.
8. If you need help, contact a mod/admin or two or three. Currently, the only Admins are justjoe and Cabnfvr.
9. If for some reason your post got moved or you find yourself under banishment, go back and read the forum rules. You can always find your recent posts by going to your Control Panel if you don't know where something got moved.
10. If yours is the last post and you want to add more info, consider editing it instead of adding another reply.
THE RULES:Time-outs, Vacations, and banishment
How banishment drops around here:
The software upgrade has a new feature allowing the moderators to issue infractions as warnings before banishment falls. Occasionally infractions will get bypassed and banishment will strike.
If you think someone should be under banishment:
Please consider whether a post really is in violation of the rules before hitting the report button. When we get it, the Admins will decide what action, if any, is needed. Giving us a heads-up on a post that has problems is always welcome.
If you're getting the hint that you might be under banishment:
In many forums, the inmates who have been here for a while will be helpful and give you hints--some subtle, some not--on how to avoid getting into trouble. Listen to them. Everyone here has a vested interest in keeping the site running smoothly. If someone suggests you should change your Flea Market post, pay attention. If someone suggests that what you've posted in NSFW is about to get you banned, think hard about editing your post.
If you've found yourself on the wrong side of banishment:
Rules infractions can result in anything from a day or few days off to cool off, to long or permanent bans. You will lose your subscriptions if you are banned. If for some remote reason you think the mods have made a mistake, you can contact justjoe via joe@theriderspace.com.
If your best buddy is under banishment:
Don't start threads to "Free __________". Unless you want to join your buddy in Banned Camp.
