FORUM RULES

For those that don't read long documents: Don't be a jerk! Jerks do not last long here!

Keep your negativity to yourself. If you have nothing positive to say, don't say it. If you absolutely have to say it, take it to PM's or better yet, email.

No Racial, Ethnic, Religious, or Sexual Slurs or Pictures at any time for any reason.

No illegal activity - Anything illegal will not be posted here.

No Hazing, Flaming, or Harassing - Friendly ribbing among friends is okay, but if the target of such attacks expresses concern, or the moderator feels its necessary, the thread will be deleted.

If you have a problem with the way this board is moderated, or with the content of its posts, please PM an Administrator. We can discuss your concerns and attempt to come to an agreement without announcing it to the public.

Please keep the foul language to a minimum. The occasional slip of the tongue is okay, but if it gets out of hand warnings you will be deleted. Remember this is a family-friendly community.

If you see a post that contains what you think is questionable content, please contact an administrator.

We have a great group of people, if you do anything to disrupt the friendliness you don't belong here. Making unreasonable demands, accusations, or being generally disruptive is unacceptable.

YOUR RIGHT TO BE A MEMBER CAN, AND WILL BE, DELETED FOR VIOLATION OF THESE OR ANY OTHER RULES WITHOUT RECOURSE.

TRAIL RUN RULES

We adhere to responsible Four Wheeling as described by Tread Lightly - Click to Read

TRAIL RUN ETTIQUETE

Always watch everyone around you and offer assistance. This is particularly important when spotting is a good idea. Don't wait to be asked, offer instead.

Be helpful rather than impatient. Don't try to rush, insult, speak down to or argue.

Always keep the truck behind you in view. If you can't see them stop and wait for the to come into view. If required, back up and see that they are okay and not needing assistance.

Always offer to let other trucks pass if you're slower than they may be.

Never be rude, abusive, assertive or intimidating to anyone else.

Alcohol and/or illegal drug use on trail runs is forbidden and cause for immediate termination of your account. (This does not apply to camping periods on overnight runs.)

ANYONE VIOLATING THESE STANDARDS WILL BE UNCEREMONIOUSLY DELETED WITHOUT RECOURSE.
