Sorry, gotta set some ground rules. I wanna keep this a pretty chill place for people to interact and have fun.

1) If a thread becomes too long and makes it difficult for our members to search and/or quote from, a new thread (part 2, 3, etc) will be created and linked to the thread being closed.
2) Unless specified otherwise, all rules apply to the entirety of EvolutionM.net, including forum posts, tags, blogs, user groups, photo albums, private messages to another, etc.
3) The moderators and administrators of AwooCru.com have the right to edit/open/close/move/delete any thread or post. Decisions are subject to moderator discretion. Disputes and questions about decisions made by moderators should be discussed via PM with a SuperMod or Admin.
4) No advertising for any business unless you are registered with our site and are a representative of that company. This includes, but is not limited to, commercial screen names, threads, posts, avatars, profile information, and signatures. Showing off your artwork is perfectly fine. The Marketplace thread is the place to sell your art. For advertising information please use the contact form.
5) Before posting a question, please conduct a search for an answer.
6) Marketplace rules:

AwooCru.com is in no way responsible for any transaction that takes place through this site. AwooCru.com provides a venue for our members to buy and sell vehicles, parts, artwork, stickers, plsuhies, etc. Like any private transaction conducted via the internet, there are risks involved. Before entering in a transaction with another member, consider the costs and information being provided.
– The Marketplace section of the forum is for contributing members of the site. In order to post in the Marketplace you must have at least 15 on-topic posts and have been a member for 15 days. Post whoring to meet selling requirements is not permitted.
– All “For Sale” threads must be posted in the appropriate subforum of the Marketplace. All “For Sale” threads MUST INCLUDE:
– PICTURE OF THE ITEM
– Price
– Accurate description of item and its current condition
– Location of seller
– Willingness to ship.
– Lowballing in the Marketplace is not allowed. This includes comments on price, where to get it cheaper, or any inflammatory remarks.
– The Marketplace is only for items legal to sell in the state of California.
– Absolutely no postings of nudity or sexually explicit materials, including links to sites with pornographic material and/or inappropriate banners/ads in any of the forum threads except for the NSFW thread. AwooCru.com is “work friendly” but to an extent and any images, avatars, and links deemed unacceptable will be removed.
– No bashing vendors, shops, or other websites without just cause. Before posting a vendor complaint, contact an Administrator or Mod to begin the process. AwooCru.com staff will attempt to resolve any issues between the vendor and customer through mediation, within reasonable limits. AwooCru.com reserves the right to determine when just cause has been proven.
– AWooCru.com is an english-speaking forum. The contents of every message SHOULD be written with proper English. If you have been warned and the content is not corrected within 24 hours, your message will be deleted.
– Thread titles and hyperlinks should give an honest description of the content inside. Thread titles are subject to the same rules as posts, and should not have any derogatory comments towards any race, gender, sexuality, ethnic background, or age. Posting misleading links is not permitted.
– All issues with members should be taken up by email or through the use of our pm system. If you like, you may contact a moderator or staff member to mediate.
– Flaming will not be tolerated for any reason. Name-calling is not acceptable. Moderator’s judgment applies here. “You are wrong” is not a personal attack; “You are an idiot” is.
– New thread topics should be posted in the correct forum with an accurate description. Topics posted in the wrong forum will either be moved or deleted without moderator notification. If you cannot locate your thread, view your User Control Panel or started threads in your profile. If it is not listed it was deleted.
– Tech forums are here to answer important technical questions. Questions lacking technical merit will either be deleted or moved to a suitable forum. Replies to technical threads should include suitable answers, additional technical content, or related questions. Replies with useless and/or unrelated comments or questions will be deleted.
– No cross posting allowed. Do not copy the text from your new thread to another thread in a different forum. You may copy the link to your first thread and post that in another forum if you feel that the topic is related.
– AwooCru.com does not tolerate nor condone illicit activities. This includes, but is not limited to, street racing or excessive speeding (no street pulls, no street testing, no “private roads”), defeating “locked” ECM features, distributing, selling, or trading of copyrighted materials, promoting illegal activities, and organizing events conducive to illegal activities. Street racing is any competition or illegal exhibition of speed on roads that are open to the public. Rule of thumb: if its not a sanctioned event with an overseeing body (NHRA, NASA, SCCA, etc.) or on an official track (dragway, road course, AX). Then don’t post it here.
No posting of copyrighted or proprietary information without consent. This includes software, images, movies, videos, music, service/repair manuals, vendor maps, and other copyrighted materials of which the poster is not the copyright holder. Linking to copyrighted files, torrents that distribute copyrighted materials, or sites which unlawfully distribute copyrighted or proprietary materials is not permitted. Log files (such as evoscan) are permitted, but use of log files to flame or discredit a vendor will result in deletion of the logs and/or the thread in it’s entirety.
– Using the PM system to solicit non-vendor sales or to circumvent any of the site rules or policies is strictly prohibited. Any member engaging in this activity will be banned.
– Multiple screen names is strictly forbidden. Contact a staff member to request a name change and/or account change. Any member found to be posting under two screen names will be banned for a minimum of 7 days and the additional accounts will be removed. Any repeat offense of this rule will result in a permanent ban of all accounts.
– You are responsible for your account. Anything posted under your account is yours. Do not share your account, password, or other login information with others. When using a shared computer, make sure you log out when you are done on the site.

7) Signature rules:
– All rules that apply to regular posts apply to signatures as well. Words or phrases that would be deemed inappropriate at work are inappropriate for signatures as well.
– Only members who have met the requirements to post in the market place may advertise items for sale in their signatures. Any items listed for sale in signatures should include a link to a valid thread/post in the Marketplace forum.
– Signatures should not be too large and must be easily read by everyone. Long paragraphs, excessive font sizes, massive lists, and obnoxious fonts/colors are discouraged and the staff may request you shorten it. If you wish to document your entire car build, create a thread and link to the first post.
– Baiting, flaming or derogatory remarks toward another member will be removed. This includes quotes from posts that were removed.
– No commercial links of any kind or business contact information without being a vendor or artist.

*****Point System And Forum Rules*****
I’ve decided to add a new point system to help control some of the issues we have been experiencing lately. We all have to remember that this is a car/furry forum first before anything else.

The points scale is listed below. All the points listed will NEVER expire so be careful that you don’t break any of the rules below because it will lead to a ban. Also know that the admins can at any time assign a custom set of points. It will depend on the severity of the infraction.

Hopefully this will help everyone stay focused on helping the site grow into a more positive resource.

Causing a thread to go off topic = 2
Posting off topic threads in the Advanced Sections = 2
Multiple Posting = 3
Misleading Link = 3
Breaking any forum rule not mentioned here = 5
Spamming = 5
Dodging the 15 Post Private Classifieds Rule = 5
Insubordination = 5
Other (See private message) = [B]5[/5]
Dodging The Swear Filter = 5
Flaming = 5
Posting Street Racing Content = 5
Vending without Vendor Membership = 5
Vendor Bashing = 5
Posting Inappropriate Content = 10
Vendor to Vendor Flaming = 15
Disrespect Towards Staff (Mods, Admins, EvoM staff members) = 15
Racist, Prejudice Remarks = 15

Total Amount of Points = Ban Time
10 points = 1 day ban
20 points = 3 day ban
31 points = 2 week ban
40 points = 1 month ban
46 points = 6 month ban
50+ points = perm ban

Also note that the list may change so make to check back here!!

Causing a thread to go off topic
Thread: What heat range spark plugs to use for my car?

I have a STI with a XYZ turbo back, XYZ tune, running 20psi and I live in FL where temperatures are general hot.

Ex1:
Why the hell would you be using a an XYZ exhaust and tune when it’s a much better idea to get an ABC exhaust and go to Bob for a tune. XYZ exhausts suck

Ex2:
I hear FL has a lot of alligators. I once saw an alligator when I was 10 and I wouldn’t want to live near them.

Misleading Link
Ex1:
Hey, check out the pictures of my new BMW here (actual link goes to **** site, business site, **************, or any other site that is not at all what was described)

Insubordination
Ex1:
EvolutionM admins/staff/mods ask you to remove something from you signature and you do not

Ex2:
EvolutionM admins/staff/mods ask you to stop instigating a fight and you proceed

Dodging the 15 post minimum
Ex1:
Place for sale/wanted posts outside the for sale section.

Ex2:
Repeatedly post whoring with such posts as “cool” or “I like that”.

Post Whoring
Ex1: Posting meaningless, non-contributing posts that do not move the thread along.

Ex2: Bumping, +1, Cool, Nice

Ex3: Openly admitting to post whoring.

Anything street racing

Disrespect towards staff

I don’t care what you guys say you are all just a bunch of fascist jerks and can go to hell.

Racist and or Prejudice remarks – self explanatory

This pretty much sums up the rules. These rules are borrowed from a Lancer Evolution forum and modified for our use. So props to them.
