Forum Rules

Updated: 18.2.2008

Registration as a User implies acceptance of the following terms and conditions:

Public
First think, then post - Remember the human. Never forget that the person reading your posting is, indeed, a person, with feelings that can be hurt. Ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person's face?". If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel as comfortable saying these words to the live person as you do sending them through cyberspace.

Conversation
Be careful about how your words come across - misunderstandings can be common. Without a tone of voice, unless you're a great writer, a sarcastic or otherwise harmless comment can often come off the wrong way. So, mark ironic statements with smilies.
Please do not type in capital letters. This is considered SHOUTING and is EXTREMELY RUDE. SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT?!?

Free opinion
If there are different opinions, be objective and argue. In such a situation, review your statement carefully. Everybody has the right to give his opinion!

Criticism
Never criticize someone for misspelling or grammatical error. If someone else makes a spelling mistake, while it's undeniably annoying, you should refrain from pointing out their mistakes.

Moderation Complaints
If you have a question or comment regarding a moderation, contact the moderators or administrators privately. Complaints posted which concern forum moderations will be either locked or removed, since a lot of members wish to enjoy the forums without having to put up with the drama.

Advertising
Participants may not use the Forums to post or transmit advertisements or commercial solicitations of any kind.

Proprietary
Participants shall not post any material likely to cause offence, that is protected by copyright, trademark or other proprietary right - without the express permission of the owner of such copyright - or that contains personal phone numbers or addresses.

Liability
This web site does not verify or guarantee the accuracy of the material posted to the Forums or bear any responsibility for any loss, damage, or other liabilities caused by any posted message.

Final Statement
This forum is a free service run by a few private individuals to bring cycling travellers around the world together. Anyone who violates the rules to cause trouble will be warned or banned depending on the severity of their actions. The forum administrators and moderators have the right to edit, censor, delete or otherwise modify any message, title, member name, signature, image or related content on its boards at any time, without notification.
While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators and moderators (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable. You agree that the site administrators and moderators reserve the right to delete any message for any reason whatsoever if they feel it is inappropriate.

I agree with the rules and terms of use.
