Fiesta Owners Club takes pride in keeping our site respectful, pleasant, and enjoyable for members of all ages and with all different views. Please read the following guidelines that set out the rules of posting anything on the forum.
Self-Promotion is Spam
All posts are read by our administration and moderation team. If we catch questionable content, it will immediately be edited or removed for further investigation without notification. Any post that is considered advertising for one's self-interests, including the promotion of any site one is affiliated with, fits under this subject. In addition, users are not permitted to post any kind of affiliate program link with referrer IDs. Violators of this rule who post promotional content will have their IP address permanently banned, resulting with the offender not being to re-register.
If members wish to advertise anything that they are affiliated with, they can purchase advertising space from Fiesta Owners Club which will then be on a regular rotation system.
Language
Fiesta Owners Club wants its forum to be a friendly community where people with the same interests can socialise and can also get much needed technical information about various Ford Fiesta models. Vulgar language is not allowed. A word censorship filter is in place on the board, however any users deemed to be working around said filter will be warned, repeat offenders will be banned. This constitutes the use of any kind of offensive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate material deemed inappropriate to the other members of the website. Inappropriate language will potentially be removed and members will be warned.
Personal Attacks
In order to maintain a positive atmosphere, no personal attacks or insults will be tolerated. While discussions may become heated, it is not an excuse to result to attacks or insults. There is a difference between a passionate, respectful discussion and one that delves into personal matters. Think of it as debating issues, not individuals. When the line is crossed, the discussion may be closed by the moderation team. Violators will be warned and potentially banned.
Moderators and Administrators Have the Final Word
If you have a problem or a complaint, direct it to the administrators and/or moderators, not to the boards. The appropriate actions will be taken. We reserve the right to ban flagrant offenders when deemed necessary, with or without prior warning.
Cross-Posting
If you have something to post and you're not sure which board it belongs in, do not post it in more than one board. If the administrators or moderators think it would fit better in another location, it will be moved there. Duplicate threads only serve to create confusion.
Signature Rules
Advertising within a member’s signature is strictly forbidden. Excessive font size are not allowed within a members signature. Anyone abusing this privilege will be warned and then have their signature removed until they acknowledge this guideline.
Again, please follow the above guidelines when posting on our message boards. If you have any questions, please contact us. Above all, remember to have fun!
