VAF Forum posting rules: (updated 2/4/10)

The VAF Forums are an escape from the stress-inducing, old-men-screaming-at-each-other-on-TV, sleep-deprived, 24hr treadmill that seems to be today's way of getting things done.  Life is complicated and mean enough, so this RV forum exists as a way to get away from all that.  The posting rules have been written in a way to hopefully reflect this philosophy.

If you can't live with the rules listed below, please do not register and/or participate.

Four easy rules... Language and tone that would be inappropriate in the polite company of strangers and their children shouldn't be used.   Be nice.  This is intentionally vague - it gives the moderators a LOT of discretion...and if any one of them is rubbed the wrong way with a post, it's toast.   Keep the topic RV-related somehow. Anything not RV is fair game for deletion.   You will not be notified it has been deleted, as we have over 11,500 folks in the forums and the moderators are volunteers with day jobs. exceptions:  You have a new baby, you let us know!  Fighting a medical condition and need support?  Post away.  Wanna make fun of my scooter in the 'misc' area....I'll let it slide <g>.  Put these type posts in the 'Test/Misc' area so they can be auto-deleted after a few weeks (so they don't clog up the archives).   Create your post in the appropriate area. Put classified listings in 'Classifieds', etc.  Most folks come into the forums using either the Today's Posts or New Posts links, which pulls from all areas.  Put posts like 'Local RV builder on the ch 5 news tonight in XXXXXX' in the 'Test/Misc' area, as we can easily delete it later (so it doesn't clutter up the archives).

Posts that will be deleted: Posts that contain the words Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Bush, Obama, Pelosi, Limbaugh, etc.  If your post even remotely smells of politics, it's gone.  I would suggest that if you want to talk GA politics, as an example, take it over to aopa.org/forums. Duplicate posts Links to video clips showing illegal and unsafe flying (like buzzing a house or rolls over a congested area). "For Sale: 1965 Cessna C-172....selling to buy RV tail kit."  (the one exception: an airpark home or lot) "Funny video clip of guys blowing up anvils." ....although I gotta admit that WAS a pretty funny clip. Posts complaining about why a post was deleted.

By way of contrast, take a look at some forums online that have pages and pages of rules (iPod forum rules / Miata forum rules)
