Hey Everyone! Please Read
Hey everyone! 
As you may have noticed, my name is now placed as the Moderator for this forum. I'm really excited about it and am glad to be a part of the group. I would like to take a minute to point out some of the guidelines for posting on the forum. If you havn't read them already, please take a minute and have a look.
I'm always around if you need to bring something to my attention, feel free to Private Message me at any time, even if only to say hello! Happy Posting!
Forums / User Gallery Acceptable Use Policy
================================================== ==================
Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Inc. reserves the right to change the terms
and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the
user. Notice of changes in the Acceptable Use Policy will be placed
the "Site Announcements" forum of the message boards.
Your continued use of this site following the posting of changes to
these terms will mean you accept those changes.
================================================== ==================
1. No Advertising
1.1 Posting commercial solicitations, advertisements, multi-level
marketing, competitive commercial web sites, phone numbers, web
site addresses, photos, testimonials or other content promoting
a business in which you are involved is strictly forbidden and
will result in immediate and possibly permanent revocation of
your posting privileges. This includes promotion of companies
in return for discounts, favors, free products, etc.
1.2 Vendors who are paying advertisers may include a web address,
mailing address and phone number in their signature and may
respond to questions about their products in a non-promotional
matter.
1.3 Vendors may not post misleading or false information.
1.4 We reserve the right to edit or remove postings which promote a
vendor's pricing.
1.5 Vendors who do not contribute to Ford Truck Enthusiasts or
otherwise sponsor the site are prohibited from using our site to
promote or support their products or services.
1.6 We reserve the right to remove or edit posts which promote web
sites or companies which compete with product offerings in our
online store, www.MotorHaven.com. Our online store is our
source of income and without it we would not be able to provide
our site for free.
1.7 For personal items for sale or trade, please use the Classifieds
section on this site. Any classified ads appearing the message
boards will be removed.
================================================== ==================
2. Be Courteous and Respectful
2.1 Do not post mean-spirited, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit,
racial epithets, harassing, abusive, hateful, libelous,
expletives, derogatory or defamatory words or phases, in any
variation. Ford Truck Enthusiasts, Inc. is a family friendly
service and such content undermines that goal.
2.2 Use of symbols or characters to mask profanity and expletives is
prohibited and undermines the spirit of these guidelines.
Example: #@)$#&!# is allowed, "*****" or "@ss" are not allowed.
2.3 Do not repeatedly post any material that the moderators feel is
antagonistic to others or instigates non-productive conflict
between users.
2.4 Do not post any material or comment that is considered to be
"baiting" others into an unproductive conflict online. Baiting
is considered to be any post that intentionally badgers,
heckles, or leads another user(s) into an antagonistic
discussion.
================================================== ==================
3. Three Strikes You're Out. On a Discussion Forum of this size,
responsibility and accountability are important. The consequences
of non-compliance are outlined below:
3.1 One violation of the guidelines will usually warrant a notice to
kindly stop/correct the behavior.
3.2 Two violations will usually warrant a thirty-day suspension of
posting privileges.
3.3 Three violations and your posting privileges will be immediately
revoked.
Please note that we reserve the right to skip steps if we feel the
violation so warrants. FTE reserves the right to remove any
inappropriate post or terminate your posting privileges to the
Discussion Forums at any time, with or without prior notice.
================================================== ==================
4. Content
4.1 Post in the forum appropriate for your topic. Please do not
create excessive cross-posted messages.
4.2 Occasional recommendations of vendors by users is encouraged.
However excessive promotion of vendors (cheerleading) on the
forums does not provide actual content and may be subject to
removal.
4.3 You agree not to register with and/or post knowingly false or
misleading information.
4.4 Do not post articles, pictures or other content that you do not
have permission to post from the copyright holder.
4.5 Your signature may contain only Ford related content and links
to your personal web site.
4.6 Your User Gallery may not infringe or violate the trademark,
copyright, trade secret, patent or intellectual property of
another party. The User Gallery vehicle listing is intended to
showcase Ford trucks, vans and suvs ONLY. Any photo not of your
Ford truck, suv or van must be hidden from the gallery list and
