The following Rules and Regulations are ban-able offenses warranting an Account Suspension. Please read them. Any violation of these rules will be taken very seriously.
Derogatory, inflammatory, blatantly false, misleading, and/or nonsensical posts intended to cause a forum disruption and to provoke other members (i.e. Trolling) will not be tolerated. Threads or posts will be removed without notice.
Generally, a 1st offense will result in a "Troll" warning, while a 2nd offense will result in an account suspension. Serious offenses will result in an immediate and permanent ban.
Creating a 2nd account is grounds for a permanent account ban, of all registered accounts, either while actively registered under another account, or after having a previous account suspended or banned. Further disruption of forum activity by creation of duplicate accounts may result in legal action against the offender.
Sharing an account with another member may result in a warning, infraction, or account suspension.
Threads, posts, messages, or signatures that refer, mention, or link members to other (competing) Accord sites may be removed without notice. Accounts found in violation of this rule may be issued an infraction, suspended or banned.
Threads or posts that contain unapproved advertisements or advertisement "spamming" will be removed without notice. This includes posts that contain affiliate links and similar types of revenue generating links. Accounts associated with these posts will be suspended or banned.
DO NOT go into a vendor's/sponsor's thread to crap on the vendor/sponsor or the product/service being offered. DO NOT go into these threads to mention a competing product or attempt to redirect traffic away from the vendor/sponsor either. Anyone caught doing so will be issued an infraction. Those who continue to violate this rule after being warned/issued an infraction will be suspended or permanently banned.
Any thread or post that advertises or promotes your products and/or services will be removed without notice unless you are an approved vendor/sponsor.
At our discretion, any thread or post that appears to be a promotion for your YouTube, Instagram, or other Social Media account/channel will be removed without notice, and accounts associated with these posts may be suspended or banned as this is considered spamming and an abuse of our services. Do not use DriveAccord to try to become a Social Media star/influence or to gain followers.
Violation of the General Forum Rules will result in immediate thread and/or post removal. The violators will be cited an infraction for violating the general forum rule. Multiple offenses will result in temporary or permanent account suspension.
Street racing/speeding is stupid and is an illegal activity and is not condoned by DriveAccord.net. Unless you can provide proof that the racing/speeding was conducted on a closed track (i.e. time slips) or officially sanctioned track or race event, threads or posts that discuss or show racing/speeding (street or otherwise) will be closed or removed without notice.

No threads or posts that involve disabling mandatory safety devices or their associated components will be tolerated and will be locked/deleted without notice.
Ignorance of these rules is not acceptable or an excuse. If you break the rules and we call you on it, we do not want to hear any whining.
Failure to comply by these rules may result in a warning, infraction, temporary suspension, or permanent account ban.

DriveAccord.net is operated as a board viewable by all ages; in other words, we fall in between G and PG rated. If you feel you cannot comply with the rules we have stated here, then DriveAccord.net is not the place for you. There are other sites out there that do allow the stuff that we do not. Feel free to visit them if you cannot follow our rules, or start up your own forum.
Do not mention anything about a group buy or bulk sales or product unless you are an approved DriveAccord site vendor/sponsor or have explicit permission from a site Administrator or Moderator.
Any mention of a group-buy or bulk sales, whether to gauge interest (a.k.a. "feeler") or how to start one, is strictly prohibited without the consent of the site owner or a moderator and will be deleted without warning.
Any thread or post to promote your business or product offerings without first becoming a site vendor/sponsor is prohibited without the consent of the site owner or a moderator.
If you would like to become a vendor/sponsor, please contact sales[at]autoguide.com
Unapproved group-buys take business away from our wonderful sponsors and creates an unfair playing field.
If you want the members of this site to support your business, then you should in turn support this site and its members by signing up as a site vendor/sponsor.
If you're looking to gauge interest before becoming a vendor/sponsor/, consider the sponsorship fee a part of doing business (i.e. advertising cost).
Requesting, sharing or selling CarFax, Autocheck or similar reports/info and memberships with another party is a violation of their terms of use. Any posts, requests, or offers for such will be deleted without notice.
