Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Rules and Charter
We at Tonys Mobile Cardetailing Forum like to share our home with all you good members. In order to ensure things run smoothly we do ask you to adhere to the Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Rules and Charter – kind of like wiping your feet before you come in and respecting our home.
By becoming a member of Tonys Mobile Cardetailing Forum (hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our”, “Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Forum”, TMCDF, “http://tonysmobilecardetailing.com.au/forum”) you agree to adhere to the charter and Rules. These guidelines are subject to change and a current version is always available in the forums. Members that violate these rules may be suspended or banned. While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
RULES

• All users under the age of 13 must seek permission from their parent or guardian in order to gain membership of the Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Forum. While we welcome participation from members under 13, we require that a parent or guardian fax or mail back a signed permission form before we grant membership.
• Your username may not be more than 16 letters and/or digits long. If you set up a username longer than this the moderators off the site will amend it and you will be notified by email.
• Although the Administrators and Moderators of Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, we cannot be responsible for message content. All messages express the views of the author. The owners, admin and moderators of the forum accept no responsibility for the views expressed within this forum by the authors/members.
• The owners or the representatives of Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Forum may remove; edit, move, or close topics they feel do not follow the rules. This is our house, and the house rules are not open to discussion on the forum if you do not like the way our house is run then we would advise you not to come in.
• Tonys Mobile Car Detailing Forum is not responsible for anything you do as a result of information or advice obtained at this site.
• Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed. NB Registering an additional account to overcome a suspension will only result in a longer ban.
• This is a family forum, please use good judgement when choosing user names, avatars, or images to post, and do not attempt to bypass the word filter. It is there for a reason. Any thread with questionable content, should be labelled as such in the topic title. E.g. NWS (not work safe). If the post is not marked then a moderator may change or edit your post to suit.
• Use your judgment to post in the correct forum section. Any post not in the correct section may be moved without prior notice to the correct forum.
• Personal attacks, rudeness, flaming, baiting, insults to others, or arguments will not be tolerated. Challenge others points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Please refrain from making excessive negative comments. As the saying goes "If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it".
• Any member who threatens anyone on the forum, via PM, instant messengers, or Email, will be banned immediately without notice. We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice. Our decision is always final in these matters.
• If you break the rules in any way then you may be dealt with accordingly. This can range from a suspension for a number of days to an instant ban. If you repeatedly break the same rule your account will be at risk of a permanent ban.
• Posting of copyright material is strictly forbidden and will be removed without notice. (Unless of course permission has been granted by the author or credit to the author has been given as per the terms of a licence/contract for usage.)
• Blatant spamming of threads is not allowed and any such posts will be removed without notice, please also keep on topic.
• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts. Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
• Please make sure you have permission to show somebodies numberplates in photographs posted on TMCDF - with the advent of cloning we suggest that numberplates are masked out
Moderation
• Any post or thread may be removed at a moderator’s discretion without informing the post / thread author of the reason. We simply do not have the time nor the inclination to pm every member whose post we choose to moderate – roll with it! (please do not question moderating decisions on the forum (if you have a query contact a moderator/ admin via pm)
Legal
• The Owners, Administration and Moderators accept no responsibility for any information that is posted by members that could result in legal action against that member.
• Any Defamatory Comments made on TMCDF are those of the post writer and not of the Forum owners or administration team. We will accept no responsibility for any defamatory comments made by members that could result in legal action against that member.
• TMCDF approved traders are forum sponsors and we accept no responsibility (legal or otherwise) for any transactions or disagreements that may occur, these must be dealt with directly with that company.
• TMCDF Supporters are forum sponsors and we accept no responsibility (legal or otherwise) for any transactions or work carried out by that party.
• TMCDF management team cannot be held responsible for any detailing work carried out by any member and any related information with our logo on not approved by us in advance
Advertising
• No advertising or selling of any kind allowed in the forums, this is not eBay. Any direct links or referrals to Ebay sellers for detailing products that the site's approved traders stock are not permitted. Links to non detailing items are allowed, but if at all unsure, PM a Moderator/Admin to confirm it's okay before posting it on the forum. Links to your own Ebay items are not permitted under any circumstances and could result in a ban. If you are interested in advertising, contact Whizzer. Your signature/avatar/profile is not a place to advertise your business, website, forum, etc. Anything considered to be advertising or "spam" will be removed without notice.
• "How much is this worth" type threads which could easily lead to a sale for the poster are not allowed, the only leeway on this is if the poster has a paid subscription to the for sale section, in which case the moderator will use his discretion as to if they should delete the thread or not.
• Please do not add your website to your profile if it is a business.
• While we do not mind users mentioning other forums, blatant advertising or repeated bumping of posts with a web address within will not be tolerated. Any advertising with commercial links to any other business than approved traders can be deleted without notice( Please do not advertise your own business without prior consent from a site owner)
• Unintentional advertising will also be removed and includes: ‘Help me with my website’ style threads, Pictures of company vehicles within threads, Watermarked pictures with company logos and Pictures of people wearing company logo’s clothing
TMCDF Supporter.
• A TMCDF Supporter has paid a subscription to carry a signature linking to their valeting or detailing website NB this does not include retail sales. The DW Supporter can also carry their link in their profile. Again this subscription can be found in the user control panel in your user profile.
• The TMCDF Supporter can also change their username to reflect their valeting/detailing business. New Members to detailing world can no longer register with a business name. Older members who joined with a business name have been allowed to keep them - call it Grandfather rights but you have to draw a line in the sand at some point!
• Given that a TMCDF Supporter pays for these advertising rights other members will not be allowed to advertise their "paid" services either through their profiles or through posting in topics where persons have requested a recommended detailer.
What is Talked about / posted within the Business section stays within the Business section and is not for the public forum.
