HVPC Forum is a family friendly site. This means that our topics, language and treatment of each other are what you'd want your kids to see. We're not a bunch of prudes...we just think that the internet has enough places where that behavior is tolerated, and this particular site shouldn't be one of them.
Additionally:
1.) Proofread before posting.
If it’s important enough for you to post it, you probably want us to understand it. This means using proper spelling, good grammar, punctuation, and capitals if it helps with clarity. Typos happen, but full paragraphs of misspelled words with no punctuation are difficult to read and won’t be taken seriously (if anyone bothers to read them).
2.) Stay topical.
This just keeps everything easier to read. Yes, things do veer from the first post on a regular basis, but if you think you’ve wandered too far aground feel free to start a new topic. It’s fun and easy to do. Also, make sure your new topic goes in the appropriate forum. Lastly, make sure your thread title explains what your thread discussion contains.
3.) No spamming.
Please don't repeatedly mention any site, forum, or product that you have an interest in. One post in the appropriate forum is acceptable; four in various ones is not. We like to know about your cool new site, we just don't want to be bludgeoned with it.
4.) No debating of politics or religion.
We make a point to avoid these types of debates. It makes it a lot easier for us to all get along and helps us stay focused on our root topics--boats and paddling. There are lots of other great forums out there dedicated to debating politics and religion if you wish to do so.
5.) No pornography.
Anything that could be tagged as Not Safe For Work shouldn't be posted. Please use common sense.
Thanks for helping us by following these rules. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM any of us. Please participate in accordance with these guidelines, and PM the mods with any questions.
Thanks,
HVPC mods

I had just sent you an email on this subject, at this moment I'm *the* mod but I feel there should probably be two or three mods. I can stay on as a mod or not as the group sees fit, happy to do it or not but "it's not about me" ;D
