Just a reminder...

We've had some decently controversial threads and on here lately (usually political or religious) and I feel like 98% of the time everyone is respectful, behaves maturely and makes an attempt to get along. I'll admit that I've become used to letting everyone self-moderate and I'm pretty happy with that, but we do have community guidelines to define how we should interact on here. As a reminder...

(I will say, if you see something offensive by all means you can report it and include a reason why it's been reported.)





"The following eight categories of online conduct are unacceptable at RME and constitute a violation of our Community Standards which may result in warning, suspension or loss of membership:

Harassment... Harassment occurs when a member insults, attacks, and denigrates another member at any time. We have zero tolerance for taking an argument about a any topic to a personal level. For instance, the use of terms such as "idiot, moron, stupid" and other derogatory terms constitutes harassment. Repeated critical and sharply negative posts toward a forum member can also constitute harassment.

Disruption... Posts which intend to disrupt the topic of conversation or steer the topic away from the focus of the forum and related news. Disruption can include harassment, multiple posting of the same post and posting completely off topic messages.

Vulgarity and Sexual Explicitness... As a community with a diverse variety of members and readers, we ask that our members to post without using vulgarity. Vulgarity not only includes vulgar language and pictures but also sexist, racist, anti-religious and homophobic language which may offend other members. In addition, the "masking" of vulgarity by inserting * or another keystroke in place of one or more letters in a vulgar term is unacceptable in most cases. We realize that there's a "grey area" of judgement with vulgarity but we ask that you'll respect others by avoiding vulgarity.

Solicitation... Refrain from using RME to advertise your site, non-4x4 items 'For Sale', commercial sales & services or website. You may attach a short link to your site within your profile. There's a Forum for specifically for Shops, 'The Vendors Forum.' Finally, if you have a Site you would like to submitted for the 'Links' forum, contact me.

Spamming... Spamming is the multiple posting of an identical or similar post on one or more of our Forums. All Spam will be deleted.

Copyrighted Material... You may post links to appropriate articles but posting articles from other sources in their entirety is a violation of our Community Standards. Use your best judgement, since you agree in the Terms of Use to be held legally responsible for your own posts on this system, but if you must repost quotes or sentences, please credit the source.

Rating Level... This is a family oriented forum. Keep all Pictures, Links, Attachments, Conversations and Language at a PG-13 level. Anything beyond PG-13 will be deleted!
 

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
Vulgarity and Sexual Explicitness... In addition, the "masking" of vulgarity by inserting * or another keystroke in place of one or more letters in a vulgar term is unacceptable in most cases.

For the good of the community I think we need examples of when this is acceptable. I'm sure we all would hate to be on the wrong side of this one. :rofl:

Don't worry, in certain cases it's ok to do so. We're just not sure what those cases are.

These were written 23 years ago, the point of this thread is much more about respecting other peoples time, opinions and beliefs, not masking swear words.

Also, if you click the link to the guidelines, at the very bottom it mentions there is a Gray area and these are in fact guidelines not necessarily rules.
