These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on The Greyfergie Forum. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.
-
1. No Spam in the forums
These forums define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services and/or other web sites, or posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Spam will be removed and the offending account may be removed without notification.
Spamming also includes sending private messages to a large number of different users.
DO NOT ASK for email addresses or phone numbers on open forums, use the PM (private messaging) system.
2. Do not post copyright-infringing material
Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials is forbidden.
3. Do not post “offensive” posts, links or images
Any material which constitutes defamation, harassment, or abuse is strictly prohibited. Material that is sexually or otherwise obscene, racist, preaching or otherwise overly discriminatory is not permitted on these forums. Use common sense while posting.
This is a web site for tractor enthusiasts.
4. Do not cross post questions
Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums. There is normally one forum which is most suitable in which to post your question.
5. Do not PM users asking for help
Do not send private messages to any users asking for help. If you need help, make a new thread in the appropriate forum then the whole community can help and benefit.
6. Remain respectful of other members at all times
All posts should be professional and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective.
However, you are not free to attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle them or the quality of this community. It does not matter what title or power you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule.
General Posting Guidelines
We figured this was necessary because a lot of people come in and post threads without thinking, and without realising that there is no possible way they could get help because of the way they posted the question. Here are some general guidelines.
1. Please use SEARCH first!
There is a pretty good chance that unless you have some really odd or unique problem that it has been addressed on our forum before, please use the forum’s search feature first to see if there are already some good threads on the subject. It’s easy to search – just click the “Search” button at the top right of the page.
2. Be DESCRIPTIVE and don’t use “vague” topic titles.
PLEASE post a descriptive topic name! Give a short summary of your problem IN THE SUBJECT. (Don’t use attention getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people).
Here’s an example of a topic subject YOU SHOULD NOT POST :
'Help me, Hello, Very urgent, I have a question'
Generally ANYTHING similar to those is unacceptable. Just post your problem.
Here is a good example of a way to post a question
'TE20 - Head gasket maybe blown' or 'Hydraulics not working on my TEF20'
Remember when people help you, they are doing YOU a favour
Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with.
3. Please post your questions in the most appropriate forum, anything posted incorrectly will be moved (not removed).
