1 – It is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted because of the real-time nature of this message board. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of Clubmazda3 or any entity associated with Clubmazda3. The individual member remains solely responsible for the content of their messages, and as a potential poster, you agree to indemnify and hold Clubmazda3, our Members, and Administrators, Moderators, harmless with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). 

2 – Any member who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by Email or PM. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, If we determine that removal is necessary with or without notification to the member who posted the message. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. 

3 – Be tolerant, understanding and respectful of other people’s point of view. If you strongly disagree or are upset over somebody’s posting, simply respond by stating your point of view. Do NOT criticize, censure or ridicule others for their beliefs, opinions or views. Please also take INTO account the difficulty many people have in expressing their precise feelings and emotions in a written message. No posts obviously designed to attract flames (Trolling/Flaming) or otherwise incite other posters to react negatively and aggressively will be tolerated. We are all in the Clubmazda3 forums based on one common trait – our love of cars, and we do not need to try and bait,trap,hate or bash each other. Doing so is a waste of time, space, and bandwidth. 

4 – You agree, through your use of this service, that you will NOT use Clubmazda3 to post any message/material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person’s privacy, or otherwise a violation of any law. 

5 – You agree to not debate, argue or insult any staff member publicly or privately on Clubmazda3 at any time. If this rule is breached then your account and privileges are revoked without hesitation. We have zero tolerance for insubordinate behaviour. 

7 – Excessive and Unnecessary Posting or Posting just to raise your post count (aka post padding) – will not be tolerated in any form. If you think you will get more respect having more posts, you are mistaken. If an Admin or Moderator deems you are abusing your account in this manner, your post count will be zeroed.(Post padding is when you post messages back to back that could have been easily in 1 post or when you have innocuous conversations back and forth with minimal post material or content or even minimal word content for that matter. Please use the Private Message system for such conversations.) 

9 – Clubmazda3 takes no responsibility for all transactions that takes place between consenting parties in the Buying and Selling Section. We DO NOT verify sellers or buyers and will not intercede on either the buyer or seller’s behalf. We advise all members to use caution when conducting private transactions. 

10 – USE the search function of the forum first before creating a topic and do not start more than one topic (in the same OR different forums) with the same question or message. Cross Posting is prohibited here and Moderators will lock duplicate threads immediately with or without any warning. Also please give some thought to which forum your topic logically belongs before posting. Check the Index page first and choose the most appropriate thread your topic will be posted. 

11 – We like to have fun in Clubmazda3 forums, but not at the expense of getting people’s questions answered. Staying on topic is somewhat relative – as long as the original poster’s question is answered in a timely fashion, some straying off topic will be tolerated. But it will always be discouraged if it comes at the expense of helping each other and getting questions answered and problems solved. Administrators and Moderators the right to edit/delete/modify any posts made that is violating the board rules.
