Introduction

Remember, you are a guest on a free service. Our moderators and admins reserve the right to remove you from MXHQ at any time for any reason. You have no rights and may make no demands.

Breaking any of the following rules might naturally result in warnings and locked or deleted topics, posts or comments. Repeated violation of the rules and ignoring warnings may result to a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban if need be. The whole point of the rules and the moderators isn't to provide strictness for its own sake, as the MXHQ staff is just as interested as having fun here as anyone else. But as an online community for mx riders and fans from all over the world some degree of civility is needed to keep MXHQ enjoyable for all.

For the most part, just use some common sense while posting, and all is fine. Like any other forum on the World Wide Web, there are of course unspoken 'rules' of etiquette regarding spamming (off topic, short, or otherwise pointless posts), flaming, and whatnot.

Rules

Be respectful of others at all times
The purpose of MXHQ is to provide a community for mx riders and fans from all over the world. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.

Ranting is prohibited
A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

Personal attacks are prohibited
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts which are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated.

Trolling is prohibited
Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the members of the MXHQ community. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not convey a friendly attitude.

No posting of personal information
Please respect the privacy of other MXHQ users and do not give out information such as phone numbers, addresses, etc. This includes communication between MXHQ users and staff.

Warnings and bans are not to be discussed on the forum
Such matters shall remain private between the MXHQ staff and the user. Questions or comments concerning warnings and bans will be conveyed through e-mail or private messaging. Likewise, discussions regarding moderator actions are not permitted on the forum. If you have questions regarding a post or thread, please contact a moderator.

Spamming, bumping and pyramid quoting are prohibited
Spam is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users. Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Pyramid quoting is a response to a forum thread which contains the quotes of four or more previous posters. Posts of this nature are not conducive to community spirit and are unwelcome.

Redundant threads will be deleted
As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.

Impersonating another MXHQ user, moderator or administrator is strictly prohibited
You are expressly forbidden from impersonating anyone else, including those named above, on MXHQ. Impersonating anyone else will result in a permanent ban.

Newbie bashing will not be tolerated
Regular forum users are encouraged to be helpful and courteous in their responses. All flames will be automatically deleted and the poster may be warned or permanently banned.

You may not post advertisements.
Starting topics, posting replies or comments or using profile features with the purpose to advertise are strictly prohibited. Referral links of any nature also fall under this category.

Post constructively
Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.
