TOPIC:

For those new members who haven't used a forum before, we have found this on the interweb.

Many new members are already used to how a forum works, but saying that, we do think that members should look over the text below to, refresh their use of the forum.

We are attempting to keep the site clean and multiple threads on the same subject can get annoying, hence the following,  
Sourced from internet search of forum etiquette 

"How to Use Online Forums:

The appearance of an online forum may seem daunting at first. There's information, posts and threads flowing all over the home page in what appears to be an ad hoc manner. Occasionally, the initial reaction of first time users is to put forum in the recycle bin.*

Rules. Familiarize yourself with the rules and netiquette required by the forum. Generally, spamming, double posting and registering multiple user accounts is prohibited. Try to adhere in order to avoid being called a troll for unintentionally breaking the rules.*

Posting. A forum has predefined topics (called threads). Members may submit messages or comments (called posts) within these topics. The message will be enclosed in a box with the username, time and date notified either on the left hand side or appearing at the top of the post. Usually members are allowed to edit or delete their own posts. Many online forums limit posts to a certain number of characters.*

Threads. A thread (topic) is started by a post. Other members may then follow in the conversation started by the original post (sometimes called the thread starter). At times the responses and comments can become derailed. The tread generally displays posts in opposite chronological order (from first to current). The abbreviation OP often refers to the original poster. Some message boards enable you to customize the view to commence with the starting post.

Before starting a new thread, use the search function to see if that topic has been has been started by another member, you then can add to the topic by posting your enquiry there.*

Moderating. Moderators monitor and enforce the message board rules. They may have access to all posts and threads or just those within their area of responsibility. Mods have the power to delete a post and to ban and suspend members who violate the discussion site's policy.

The moderator is usually the site owner's friend. Among other responsibilities, they also help members in need and respond to complaints."Anything you feel needs to be added, post what you would like to add, if we feel its ok I will add it to the topic or delete what is not.

overall just get involved most members have been fed before the log on so you should be safe.

Have Fun, Drive Safe
