I've read and agree to the Terms of Use <strong class='bbc'>Last Updated:</strong> 19th September 2009<br /><br />The aim of FordXR6Turbo.com is to have an online community to discuss and feature the Ford XR6 Turbo and other performance vehicles from the Ford Motor Company of Australia and Ford Performance Vehicles.<br /><br /><strong class='bbc'>Please read the following rules as they affect your access to the site. The rules have been put in place to ensure that yours, as well as others experience on FordXR6Turbo.com is an enjoyable and safe one.</strong><br /><br />The rules apply to <span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>all</strong></span> methods of communication between community members eg: forums, private messages, e-mail etc.<br /><br />As a member of the site you agree to abide by all the terms and conditions set out by the following rules.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>1. No Spam</strong>.</span> Spamming can be defined as either posting multiple times about the same thing or starting multiple topics about the same thing. Spamming is also defined as constantly posting off-topic as well as providing links that have nothing to do with the forum or thread at hand. Spam will be deleted without warning and/or notification.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>2. No Slander.</strong></span> While we encourage lively debates and discussions, we will not tolerate personal attacks of any kind on the open forum. Any person attacking another forum member will receive a warning and have their offensive posts removed. Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. Insults, offensive language or anything offensive will be deleted without warning and/or notification if considered unacceptable by a Moderator. Content that is insulting to anyone based on gender, lifestyle, religion, ethic group, race etc. is unacceptable and will be deleted without warning and/or notification. FordXR6Turbo.com will not tolerate posts which defame individuals, other on line forums, businesses or car companies. Every member has the right to post about problems but this must be done in a factual manner.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>3. No flame wars.</strong></span> There is no place for that on these message boards. Topics that are designed to start a flame war (defined as an offensive argument that serves no purpose but to make others upset.) will be treated as Spam and deleted without warning and/or notification.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>4. Stay on-topic.</strong></span> There will be some leniency on this, and we don't mind if you bring in another comment or two, but try to stay focused. If you think it's a good enough topic, start a new thread about it. This also prevents losing a good idea amongst a thread about another topic. Threads that wander off-topic will be closed and/or trimmed or moved to the appropriate forum, and your post count may be deducted by two for every off topic post. Off topic threads and posts may be done in Off Topic and Donating Members sub-forums. Posts in those sections will be allowed to run their course without interference unless deemed necessary, all other sections of the site will be monitored more closely if threads are tending to stray off topic they will be closed, trimmed or deleted.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>5. No illegal topics.</strong></span> Illegal software, copyright material, or items that may offend others are not welcome and will be removed without warning and/or notification. Posters of such material will be dealt with on a case by case basis; this may include warnings and/or being removed permanently from the site.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>6. No Impersonating.</strong></span> Attempting to pose as a FordXR6Turbo.com staff member, an employee of any affiliates or any other registered user will not be tolerated and will result in the deletion of that user name. This also applies to variations of registered names. Members are not permitted to have more than one user account. Any members found to have multiple accounts will have the extra account(s) deleted and a warning placed on the remaining account.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>7. Signatures & Avatars.</strong></span> Images within your signature must not be larger than 460x130 pixels. Images within Avatars are set to 64x64 pixels for members and 150x150 pixels for Donating Members. Any text within your signature must not exceed 5 lines. Avatars and signatures should not have any offending images. Anything which is considered offensive will be removed immediately from the site without warning and/or notification. The site should be able to be viewed in front of children. Please keep it this way. Signatures should not contain advertising or links to non site related products and/or services. Doing so will have your signature removed or changed without warning and/or notification.<br /><br />Signatures are allowed to contain the names of non-sponsoring tuners providing it is displayed in the default font, colour and size only. Any signature found to be in breach of this guideline will be removed or changed without warning and/or notification.<br /><br /><span class='bbc_underline'><strong class='bbc'>8.
