All forums on Brian's Model Cars aka BMC are post moderated; however, this dialogue is a cooperative endeavor. To maintain an environment conducive to quality, please agree to the following few basic guidelines and requests before using this system:

By using this website you agree to abide by the following simple common sense rules:

1. You certify that you are 13 years of age or over. Individuals under 13 years of age will not be able to join BMC. This is in compliance with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act of 2000 (COPPA).
2. Nicknames that we feel are inflammatory, vulgar, promotional, or rude will be removed.
3. All groups are moderated for foul language and commercialized promotional posts.
4. Always be respectful of other users, the system, and the moderators. We put the system online in good faith, please use it in good faith.
5. Be descriptive, specific, and succinct in your postings. This way your opinion and point is clearly understood and referenced. Remember, people from all over the world read here with English as a second language. Construct your posts in such as way as to facilitate the use of translation software.
6. Because your posting may be more pertinent to another on going discussion, or it might spawn its own thread, it may be moved as BMC sees fit.
7. Before posting in a forum, please read the Charter for that forum. They are listed in the main menu at the top and bottom of each page for every forum.
8. Links to adult content, pages with links to adult content, near adult content (including model and swimsuit sites), or messages describing anything against the law will be removed as soon as possible. Any discussion of those are off topic.
9. E-Mail and SiteMail excerpts of ANY type or length are not allowed on BMC. There are no exceptions to this rule.
10. No press releases, newsletters, web pages, or copyrighted content may be inserted into BMC posts. Minor fair use excerpts of less than one paragraph (4 sentences) may be used if the content is publicly available on the internet. All other forms of inserted content from press releases, newsletters, web pages, or any other copyrighted content placed into messages will be removed without exception. A link to the content is acceptable and appropriate.
11. Links within BMC are always acceptable. Links outside BMC must either already be on our Links page or pre-approved by an administrator.
12. The moderators of BMC often post their own comments, but they may not necessarily reflect the opinions of BMC.
13. BMC is not a venue for personal or private vendettas. Keep your personal business as just that - personal. This forum is not a venue for the resolution of personal disputes with members or companies.
14. Please keep your language clean and decent. This includes personal inflammatory language as well as obscenities.
15. Any on site private discussions (SiteMail) with moderators related to board policy or actions may be shared with administrators if we feel it is necessary.
16. Please stay within the topic area of the forum you are posting a message in, and within any topic that another poster may have started.
17. You agree not to hold BMC or its members liable for anything stated within the forums.
18. Since this is interactive, and everyone who participates in BMC is "in it together", please treat others the way you wish to be treated. One way to guard against misunderstandings is to read over your response before you post it. Flaming: flaming or personal attacks are not allowed or tolerated. Should anyone use inappropriate language, start a personal attack, or engage in hate speech, they will be barred from all further discussions.
19. The forums are not a venue for advertisements in any way. It will be the sole discretion of BMC and its moderators as to what constitutes an advertisement.
20. You are responsible for your own posts and agree not to hold BMC or BlazerTech Corporation liable for any messages posted.
21. You will not copy and retransmit any information out of BMC without first getting the permission of the original author of the message and a BMC administrator.
22. Discussions about moderator or administrator actions are welcome in E-Mail or local private messages (SiteMail), but should not be discussed in public forums. This is out of respect for the members and moderators or policy involved.
23. Self promotional URL drops and whisper campaigns are strictly forbidden within the forums and will be edited out.
24. Claims of action, flames, and calls to action against any company or person will be removed.
25. Messages posted at this site are the sole opinion and responsibility of the poster.
26. Personal exposure. Anyone posting another members personal details or web site details without permission will be banned.
27. When a message is placed on BMC you are granting a soft license to the site to use it.
