Here's the deal, with recent members joining just to spam post to gain access to the 'for sale' section, I think we as a community need to express what we feel to be the unspoken rules that newbie poster should follow so there are no arguements.
If you refer to the "lets make the longest thread ever" thread that has been recently locked (maybe do to this thread?), you will understand what I mean.
So everybody think of some expressed rules that you think newbies should follow then I'll take it upon myself to conjur up a list from greatest importance to least.
To start off:
1. If you are here just to build up your post count to gain access to the 'for sale' section then don't bother joining this community, just go to Ebay and save us the grief.
2. If you still plan to sell on the forums, please be kind to donate before selling or possibly donate a percentage to the mx-3.com website.
3. If you are a new member with 30 and below post counts, think. If your post does not contribute to the thread in helping others, then please do not post there. (off-topic section might be a good 'off limits' thing for newbies.
4. Please! If you have a question and you don't knwo the answer, use the SEARCH function. Many a times the answers you seek have been posted before. AFTER you search, and you still cannot find what you are looking for, then we will be glad to help you.
5. Search the FAQ most of the time, in regards to a swap or technical information, it is there. If not, search the field that best suits your question (V6 technical/performance etc...)
6. DO NOT SPAM POST. You WILL lose a majority of any credibility you might have tried to gain.
7. We welcome people to the boards, but instead of making a 'New Guy Here' thread, just simply introduce yourself at the beginning of a worklog, if you so choose to make one.
I encourage all that have say 40+ post counts to contribute.
Oh yeah, If this would be better suited in another section then please move it
