Great compilation of posting etiquette!

I *personally* feel the one-strike and you're out (ie. suspended, not banned unless the particular infraction is blatantly egregious and warrants it) works most effectively as a deterrent.

Why give a warning after-the-fact once the damage/insult/personal-attack has already been done!?!

On every-other auto-enthusiast forum that I am a member of and frequent regularly, an immediate suspension (ie. temporary ban) is applied at the FIRST instance of rules violations (regarding 'personal attacks' from the list in the original post in this thread).

As stated in the second posting of this thread, these rules were discussed at length by the mod's. We feel that these rules are fair to all of the members of DA.

You guys/gals are soft! Hey, your sand-box... your rules! :thmsup:

As DA isn't another cookie cutter auto forum and these rules show that.

Uh'huh...?!? :wave:

Surprisingly enough many of the rules are being broken on a daily basis.

Nah, man. The mods' here do a damn fine job of keeping this place tip-top!

Though, I feel the whip needs to be cracked harder & more often in certain instances... however, this is a *personal* opinion.

I still don't understand how you are going to find out whether or not someone has created a second account once banned. People here could have 10 accounts for all we know.

The administrator of the site has a log of I.P.'s used by a particular member whenever they log-on. So, if the I.P. of a recently banned/suspended member all of a sudden reappears w/ a newly registered member... voila!
