Site Guidelines and Rules Just wondering what the "Site Guidelines" and/or "Rules" are for posting a specific thread in the Regional Forums - Western Members Section.
What can we post threads about?
What can we NOT post threads about?
Any reasonable explanation would be much appreciated.

Here are a few good rules to start with:
GENERAL RULES
1. Absolutely no mindless flame wars. We encourage you to speak your mind and argue points, just make sure you state your arguments in a mature manner.
2. This site is intended to be a work-safe environment. Please do not post anything that would not be permitted in the typical work place.
3. Anyone caught post-whoring will be given a warning. After the first warning, the account may be removed .
4. Spamming will absolutely NOT be tolerated in any form.
5. Always attempt to keep post material mature and relatively on-topic. Childish behavior or comments may result in the removal of your account. This is a site for MEN, not little boys.
6. Do not link to controversial topics on other forums.
7. Any members who threaten anyone with intent to harm financially or physically will be removed from the site. We do not mind a little trash talking, but if it gets to the point of violence or stalking, you will be removed. We will also gladly work with the Law Authorities in any case related to these actions.
DO NOT POST
1. Web surveys.
2. Charity or Donation threads.
3. "Vote for so-and-so" threads.
4. Paging threads. That's what private messages are for.
5. Political and religious debate. See the politics forum on www.SeatStaysUp.com for political conversation.
6. Babe threads. Again, see the section on SSU for this stuff.
7. Relationship help threads = SSU.
8. Illegal topics (marijuana, other drugs)
9. Carfax request threads
10. General nonsense threads that don't promote intelligent conversation, an example being the age-old "what did you have for breakfast today" thread. Act like an adult, make sure the threads that are posted have an acceptable maturity level.
MULTIMEDIA RESTRICTIONS
1. No pics or links to any type of nudity or pornography.
2. No pics or links to gore. Meaning mutilated animals or dead humans. This includes death/killing whether real or fake.
3. Signature banners may not exceed the 500x150 pixel limit and may not be animated.
OTHER
1. Under the guidelines presented, moderators reserve the right to judge which threads belong and which do not and act on that judgment. If you have a complaint about a certain moderator's activities, present your complaints to one of the forum administrators. The control of content is ultimately decided by the forum administrators and lounge moderators, but use your own judgment. If something doesn't meet the maturity level of typical adult conversation, it will likely be locked.
2. If you are a troll and/or a tool who floods the forum with meaningless or aggressive posts, prepare to be flamed. Users are always promoted to speak their mind, but being a tool almost always equates a good flaming. Keep this in mind while posting.
3. By posting or reading this website, you agree to waive all legal rights and hold harmless this site, the staff, and the owners. If you cannot agree to these terms, please do not use the forum.
4. Enjoy your frequent visits!
Any questions?

That is sexist. There are women on this site as well.
2. Charity or Donation threads.
We had one for the fire victims. Got a lot of donations for that. Seemed to be no problem with that. There has also been a thread about the guy who died in the Supra, for a charity thing for him (my heart goes out).
10. General nonsense threads that don't promote intelligent conversation, an example being the age-old "what did you have for breakfast today" thread. Act like an adult, make sure the threads that are posted have an acceptable maturity level.
If you are saying thats what we did, I disagree. Our thread stating that the California members post the most of the Regional Forums - Western Section was completely legit.

If you want to keep starting threads like this, hammering on this topic you can take a break too....I'd rather that not be the case, so get to posting about things that don't have to do with this...
. I'm not losing any 
over this.
