In a recent thread,now closed down, Ryan indicated that rules of the board had been violated. " We don't have many rules around here. A ****ing monkey could follow what few we do have..." I've only been posting about a month and a half and I do respect that there are rules and that Ryan makes the rules.No problem there. However, although I've searched the boards,I haven't been able to locate a listing of these rules anywhere. I gather that politics and religion are not to be topics of discussion, what else? Would it be possible to post these rules,written or understood, somewhere, maybe in the new Intro section, so that those of us who are new, yet well-meaning, don't run afoul of things through our ignorance? Perhaps there could also be a listing of common acronyms as well for those of us too naive to figure them out. I got FNG and most of the others without help,but what is bttt anyway? Thanks.
Thank you guys.That makes this easier. Would have been easier before, but I joined before the "Introduce Yourself Here" section was apparantly up and running. At least I never made my entrance that way,tho I did post an introduction. And the thread you posted didn't come up in my search iunder "rules". So now I know and won't go astray-that stay on the topic one doesn't seem to be followed much. Thanks
Make sure you read the whole thing: "The HAMB is dedicated to spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and kustoms to hoodlums world wide. That’s right – TRADITIONAL. And we aren’t talking Beach Boys and poodle skirts here fellas. If you are into a-side 50’s pop, lawn chairs, ruler contests, and all things that make hot rodding warm and cozy then you might want to find another message board. If you aren’t sure what we mean by “traditional”, then you might think twice as well. If you’ve come here to set a rep, talk some ****, and make some fun then you had better turn around right now. We aren't patient. Even if you have come here for all the right reasons, don’t expect posting to be easy. We don’t cater to new fellas unless they show a dedication to spreading this tradition of ours first. We welcome young, old, foreign and all – but our original members and our staff expect a certain level of respect and an effort to keep things true and on topic. Maybe you are an old fart with a past. Maybe you are one of the guys that started this tradition we cherrish. We built this place for you and your posts mean the world to us. Hop on and introduce yourself. This is your board. Still reading? Then you must be cut out for this, right? We recommend you read some more. Check out all the forums, develop an understanding for how things work around here, learn the “do’s” and “do not’s”… The key to a happy HAMB newbie is to understand the joint BEFORE you begin posting. You want to be happy don’t ya newbie? We have very few written rules here on the HAMB and that’s the way we like it, but we won’t hesitate to dump disruptive posters, ego freaks, or **** talkers. We are all here to learn and teach - please keep your other perogatives on the sidelines. Rules: 1. No profanity in subject lines 2. No political/religious/racial posts 3. No ****. 4. All personal information listed on this board is private and protected. The HAMB does not sell this information and you are not privy to use it for your own reasons. Test us on this one and we will bite. 5. New Users must fill out thier profiles. Every bit that you can. Simply click on "User Cp" above and get to work. 6. New users must introduce themselves in the intro forum. Guidelines: 1. If in doubt, don’t post it 2. Stay on-topic and relevant with your posts… OT posts aren’t generally appreciated by our membership. 3. Gotta easy question? Try using the search function first. 4. Your life here would probably be easier if you complete your profile and introduce yourself before jumping into the deep end..." __________________ Ryan Cochran "Skating the same line since 1976..."
