Auto Mag Forum Guidelines

​In order to keep our forum(s) running well and serve as a great place to get help with Auto Mag, please follow these simple rules for the forum(s) here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Admins or Moderators.

​​ General Rules:

  • While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
  • Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) nonsense posts, or the such.
  • Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
  • Cross-posting, the act of posting the same thing across multiple forums, is not allowed. Please just post once in the most appropriate forum.
  • Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
  • Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts, at least 24 hours.
  • We also do not allow posts that are sexual or violent in nature or violate our community standards.
  • Additionally, adult/sexual topics and those concerning sexual orientation as used in a derogatory, inflammatory, or insensitive manner are not allowed.
  • The Moderation team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
  • Discussion of illegal activities such as fraud, software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed. There is a zero tolerance policy for illegal activity being discussed.
  • Do not post content from private correspondence, such as email or chat, within the forums. Posting any other persons private information such as email, phone number or address could result in banning. Similarly, gossip about other members is also prohibited.
  • Discussion of cracking passwords or bypassing security measures is prohibited.
  • Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
  • We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
  • If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
  • You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral.
  • You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests.
  • Foul language isn’t necessary to discuss Auto Mag and help people, so it won’t be tolerated. Any attempt to bypass the profanity filters will result in an infraction against the user and that post being edited or removed. Using asterisks or any other symbol to disguise bad language is considered bypassing the filter.
  • Hidden links in posts or signatures are assumed to be malicious and members posting such content will be permanently banned, no exceptions.
  • If you are going to post material that is not your own, properly credit the source(s); failure to do so is considered plagiarism.
  • Please do not post huge images. Anything over 500×500 should be thumbnailed or linked only. See our guide for where to host images here and how to resize images here.
  • Image replies are not allowed (posting just an image in response to a question)
  • Animated images in replies are not allowed outside of the off-topic forum.
  • Vendor shilling, whether compensated or not, is strictly prohibited on the forum and will be cause for a permanent ban.
  • Video-only posting is not allowed. You need to post your own narrative/opinion on the video in your post.

Any threads/posts of these above types will be deleted. Also 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. We reserve the right to ban or infract anyone who willfully violates our forum(s) rules. Bans will not necessarily be permanent but enacted based on the seriousness of an offense to these rules.

​​ Advertising Services We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and solicitation in sigs is also prohibited.  You are not allowed in posts to link to or advertise in any way (including but not limited to) personal blogs/websites/pages/affiliated websites/affiliated resources in posts without prior approval. Links of that type are restricted to the signature area only; see below for additional information.

  • A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate our community standards. The Moderation team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or inappropriate material.)

  • Resellers may not post links to external sites in their sig files,..
  • Links to reseller sites or promoting them in a signature are not allowed if it is discovered a member has been paid to embed links in their signatures to another website it is grounds for banning.
