240Atlanta.com Rules and Regulations
Do not be rude to any member or vendor
You may not agree with something someone else has to say. If you must disagree, please do so in a civil manner. Please be courteous to others.
Do not attack other member's interests or hobbies
Not everyone likes what you like. Different peoples interests vary when it comes to movies, music, modification paths, etc. Some people may like drifting. Some may like drag racing. Some may like autocross. Just because you don't like it, it doesn't mean that nobody else should like it and it certainly doesn't give you the right to bash it.
Discrimination of any sort will not be tolerated
Members on this site may come from different religions, races, cultures, nationalities, sexual orientation, political backgrounds, etc. Please respect other's views and beliefs.
Be helpful to new members
Remember that all of us were new at some point. The friendly nature of this site made us want to stay. Please extend the same welcome to new members.
Some people are new to forums in general and may not know how to search, etc. Others may be new to Nissans or cars in general. Please help them out and do not embarrass them by making them feel stupid in front of the boards.
Cursing
Cursing is fine as long as its (a) not excessive and (b) not used in an offensive manner.
Bashing any other car clubs will not be tolerated
This includes bashing other forums, etc. It is easy to feel like a cult when we all share a passion for 240s. Do not hate on others. Realize that we work with various entities to plan our larger events.
Advertising for a business requires a Vendor Membership
If you have not purchased a vendor membership, you are not allowed to directly advertise your business or anyone else's business. If you would like to become a member please visit the link below.

Bashing vendors will not be tolerated

Follow the Administrator's and Moderator's instructions
The Administrators and Moderators work very hard to maintain order, avoid conflicts and plan events. Please follow their instructions and help them do their job.
For Sale Thread Etiquette
Just like your mother told you, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you don't like the price that someone has set for their item, do not buy it. Posts like "Someone else is selling this for half the price on blah" or "$150? Seriously?" will result in an infraction and bad karma.
Sarcasm
If it is of friendly nature and among friends, then its ok. However if it has malicious intent, it will not be tolerated. What is ok and what is not will be up to the judgement of the Administrators and Moderators.
No discussion of members partaking in illegal activities
This includes drugs, alcohol consumption by minors, audio/video/software piracy, etc. Although discussion of illegal street racing is not prohibited, we do not condone it in any way, shape, or form.
These rules are subject to change at any time. Action taken against offenders will depend on the seriousness of the offense, could be anything upto and including a permanent loss of viewing and posting previliges and will be up to the sole discretion of the Administrators and Moderators.
Signature Sizes Regulations
A users signatures TOTAL size may be no larger than 600px wide and 250px high. This includes text and all. Please do not push this limit or we will enforce it more strictly.
Signature & Avatar Rules

Avatars and signatures are a privileged so please do not abuse them.
No Rep Threads

Thread Creation & Titles
Please do not create threads with a title such as "HELP!!!" or "I have a question!". The title is there so that members have an idea what to expect when clicking on the thread title. You will likely get more help with a specific title...
