Registration

The Corpus Racing forums have grown tremendously over the past years and we thank all of you for being a part of this growing community. In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules for the forums here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Staff Members.

General Rules

* While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
* Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or anything of the such.
* Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
* Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum, email, visitor messages, blog comments, picture comments and private message systems to spam other members.
* Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.
* We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate Corpus Racing community standards. The Corpus Racing team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
* Discussion of illegal activities such as illegal drugs and drug use, software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
* Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
* While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about our competitor's, we will not tolerate blatant adverts or the sort of 'ooh look, yet another bulletin board' threads. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other boards.
* We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
* If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
* Posts arguing about Corpus Racing policies are not allowed. You can fill out a support ticket if you have issue with Corpus Racing policies.
* Posts discussing moderator actions are also not allowed.
* Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
* You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal.
* You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests.
* Support should be considered to be confidential information. Support posted in the forums will be deleted.
* We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to our forums are a privilege and not a right. A banned member is not entitled to access to Corpus Racing.

Advertising Services and Solicitation

We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products, services, funds or donations. Explicit advertising and solicitation in signatures is also prohibited.

Links in signatures must follow these guidelines

* Linking to a commercial product/service other vehicle related websites is fine, provided it is not a product or service or website that competes with Corpus Racing and it is not an affiliate program link for Corpus Racing or any other affiliate program.
* A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate Corpus Racing community standards. The Corpus Racing team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.)
* Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed.

Avatars

* Animated avatars are not allowed. Sorry.
* Avatars that may be confused with official staff avatars are not allowed.
* Use of the Corpus Racing logo in avatars is not allowed.

Affiliate Programs

The Corpus Racing affiliate program is designed to allow people to advertise Corpus Racing on their web site and earn a commission on all sales generated through that link. You are not allowed to post your affiliate link anywhere on the Corpus Racing forums, in your signature or send the link through private messages to other forum users. Anyone that does this may be removed from the affiliate program immediately without notice. This rule applies to all affiliate program links, not just the Corpus Racing program.

Signature Size Limits

All signatures should not exceed the following limits

* You can't have both text and images in your sig
* For text signatures: 4 lines normal size, 8 lines small size and up to 90 chars per line. Font sizes above 2 are not allowed. (Blank lines count as lines.)
* Do not use images with large text to bypass the previous item
* For images in signatures: 1 image up to 728 pixels wide, 90 pixels tall and 20k in size
* Animated images in a signature are not allowed

We also have some rules that apply for certain forums

General Discussion forum

The General Discussion forum is where Corpus Racing members and fans can gather to chat about almost anything, technical or non-technical in nature. If you have a question that doesn't fit into any other forum, or just want to chat, this is the place.

Moderation

Although the administrators and moderators of Corpus Racing Community Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Corpus Racing Community Forum, nor Reaxtion Studios (developers of Corpus Racing) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or that otherwise would violate any laws.

The owners of Corpus Racing Community Forum reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
Staff Disputes

Any disputes with the staff of the Corpus Racing Community Forums will be handled in private through the Private Message System. You may contact a Corpus Racing administrator for staff disputes.

Addendum

We reserve the right to update and modify these rules as the needs of the community dictate to ensure the smooth operation of this community.
