Guidelines

The following are the WI BIMMERS Guidelines. As we continue to grow it is essential that we provide these guidelines to promote a professional atmosphere for our members and site sponsors.

The WI BIMMERS community is made up of a diverse group of people. Please respect your fellow members. These guidelines are presented to provide a common ground between all members. The guidelines, and appropriate action, will be interpreted by the moderators to the best of their abilities. These guidelines are to be considered an addendum to the Terms of Use that all members must agree to via a submit button when registering to participate on the discussion board.

Content

What can I post, or not post, on the Wibimmers.com discussion forums?

The Wibimmers.com discussion forums exist to discuss topics related to owners of BMW © automobiles . An Off Topic forum is provided for other items that may be of interest to forum members (i.e. non car related events, trivia, jokes, etc.).

The following is a list of items that are absolutely not tolerated. Violation of these will result in IMMEDIATE banning of your account:
Main Guidelines

The following are considered main guidelines and should be observed at all times:

Email Address

You must provide a current and valid email address within your member profile so that you can be reached by forum moderators or administrators. You MAY select "Hide my email address from other members" so your email is not posted for all members to see, administrators will still be able to use it to contact you if necessary.

Signatures

Use images and/or graphics sparingly, don't post signature pictures that take up half the screen or are very large in file size, try to keep them under 100kb
No commercial advertisements or commercial links and/or email addresses are allowed unless you are a site sponsor

General Rules
NO RICK-ROLLING. Do not post a link to a Rick Roll video, or any other links that take a member to something other than what is implied in the thread.

No SHOUTING (i.e. Don't use all capital letters when posting)

Try to post to the forum that is most appropriate for the topic being presented. If you DO post in the wrong forum, please inform an administrator or moderator. Otherwise, expect your post to be moved to the appropriate section. Please DO NOT start a "where did my thread go?" thread.

Limit cross-posting (posting links in one CE forum to a thread in another CE forum). Members are encouraged to use the forum's SEARCH features before posting to see if that same question has been asked before.

Please limit the use of cr3ative spell1ng. It is difficult to read.

Respect the privacy of other forum members and individuals. Do not post personal information about them (i.e. addresses, phone numbers, passwords, etc.).

No buying, selling, or trading outside of the Classifieds Forum (additional information regarding WI BIMMERS Classifieds is shown below)

Sponsors that do not follow the rules run the risk of having their sponsorship terminated and the balance of their sponsorship fee refunded

DO NOT post messages that violate Federal, State, Provincial or Local laws which include, but are not limited to, anything that violates a copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, or is bound by a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).

DO NOT impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself

DO NOT post under various screen names

Respect forum moderators and administrators and give them ample time to respond to any suggestions or problem posts. Cleaning up other peoples' messes is never fun and can take some time.

DO NOT make a thread asking why a post was locked. Contact the moderator of that forum directly via PM or email.

If you feel a post is inappropriate please use the "REPORT" feature that is available on every post. Please do not overuse this feature. You may also send the moderators or administrators a
Private Message to notify them of inappropriate posts.

Please do not use the forums for personal messages. We encourage you to use Private Messaging, email, or instant messaging for such matters.

Please do not intentionally REPOST material. If you see a repost please provide a link to the original thread and alert a moderator to lock the thread.

Objectionable Material

How is objectionable material dealt with?

Threads and/or posts that violate the above guidelines will be reviewed by moderators and/or administrators and appropriate action will be taken.

The objectionable post/thread may be locked or deleted at the discretion of the moderators.

Reporting Objectionable Material

Threads or posts may be reported to the forum moderators via the "Report" button on the bottom left of each post.
