Rules
Our mission here at MTBiker is to help mountain bike enthusiasts and foster a healthy community. The message boards are the core of our community. As a result, we would appreciate it if people read and abide by these rules.

The MTBiker staff and volunteer moderators monitor the message boards, removing inappropriate content. The purpose of these rules is to explain what kind of messages are "inappropriate," and therefore will be deleted. We are explaining these rules beforehand, so if a message is removed everyone will understand why it was removed. In general, we err on the side of leaving messages up. The entire site is premised on sharing product information, so as one might imagine we are strong proponents of free speech. That being said, here are some specific reasons why we remove certain messages: 

  1. The message insults or degrades another member of the community.
  2. The message contains profanity, offensive language, or racial epithets.
  3. The message is an advertisement or spam. Please do not post Classified Ads/Want Ads/Trade Ads in the message board forum. Please post these in our Classifieds Section.
  4. The message contains obscene or pornographic images/photos/text/videos.
  5. The message promotes illegal activity (at our discretion).
  6. The message has been posted to more than 2 boards. Posting the same message to multiple boards is spam, and all posts may be removed and the user may be banned. Please post to the most relevant board only, no more than 2.
  7. The message is posted as "flame-bait" and is posted to incite flames and insults.
Also, users registering multiple accounts and posing as different people is NOT allowed and one or all of your accounts may be banned without warning.

Unfortunately we must reserve the right to remove messages. However, we truly love this community, so we will only remove any given message if we judge that it's in the best interest of the community.
