Rules...

The GCF believes that a good message board is important to an effective web site, and as such, the board of the GCF is unwilling to tolerate garbage posts, trash-talking, personal attacks, and profanity on the Guamcycling.com message boards. You may have been to other boards where the message board was allowed to be cluttered up with offensive garbage, but you'll find that at Guamcycling.com, this is not allowed.

When using the message board, the following behavior/posts are prohibited:

•    Personal attacks or insults on ANYONE

•    Material which defames (slanders), abuses or threatens others.

•    Statements that are bigoted, hateful or racially offensive.

•    Posts containing negative comments about GCF sponsors.

•    Material that advocates illegal activity or discusses illegal activities with the intent to commit them.

•    Posts with the sole intent of eliciting negative responses (flaming).

•    Excessive numbers of posts. If you're "living" on the boards, posting every 2-3 minutes, and getting in heated discussions with numerous other posters, this will be considered a violation of the board Terms of Service.

•    Unauthorized copyrighted material, including such items as scans of copyrighted material or posts of subscription-based web articles

•    Material that contains vulgar, obscene or indecent language or images, including posting vulgar words with characters such as $ or * substituted for strategic letters (examples: a$$ or @ss, s**t, etc. are prohibited). Also prohibited are abbreviations of vulgar words or phrases, such as WTF.

•    Posts containing embedded pictures that are pornographic in nature, or links to pornographic web sites. Other sexually suggestive pictures and links to inappropriate web sites may also be deleted.

•    Advertising or any form of commercial solicitation. This includes links to commercial web sites posted by individuals who are affiliated with said web site and are seeking to direct traffic to their web site from this message board (i.e., "spamming the message board"). If in doubt as to whether or not your post is a solicitation or "spam," please contact the GCF board  for clarification.

•    Posts or posting habits which are otherwise deemed inappropriate by the board of the GCF

Statements or postings which violate the above terms will be deleted upon discovery. Users who violate these Terms of Service may or may not receive a warning. Depending on the severity and frequent occurrences of violations, the user may lose his account temporarily or permanently. Account suspensions are at the sole discretion of the GCF board.

Duplicate accounts are not allowed. Users who have their account deactivated and then re-register for a new account will have the new account deactivated. Re-registrations must first be approved by our staff.

Any user posting on the Guamcycling.com message boards is implicitly agreeing to these rules, regardless of whether they have been read or not.
