Code of Conduct for OzVMX

[Graeme M]

I will draft a Code of Conduct and post it on the site as a sticky. This will govern how we expect members to behave and how I will deal with problems. Please offer your thoughts here.

I think a few might be:

1. No personal 'abuse' - that is, no aggressive slinging off at other members, or for that matter non-members.
2. Criticism of individuals/businesses should be limited to factual criticism - ie no saying "business X is crap just cos I say so".
3. Commentary about clubs should be kept ot a minimum. And yes, the endless HEAVEN threads is what I am referring to here. It is divisive and destructive to get stuck into clubs and their executive. Minor criticism and suggestions are OK, but let's keep it sensible. Real issues should be dealth with through a club's organisational arrangements.
4. Respect for ALL members is expected. Light hearted jibes etc is fine, but whatever we say can be misinterpreted. Treat others as you expect to be treated.

Sending abusive PMs because they are to cowardly to say it on the forum to show what a turkey they are.

Don't try and worm out of it.

When did this happen? As I've said many, many times, the criticism HEAVEN has copped on these forums has invariably been from non-members, and usually from people who haven't interacted with the club at all in a long time.

Thou shalt not be blasphemous.

blasphemou - showing lack of due respect or veneration, "irreverent parts book scholars mocking sacred vmx artifacts", "noisy irreverent tourists on noisy irreverent road bikes", characterized by profanity or cursing, "foul-mouthed and blasphemous", "blue language", "profane words"

Good move Graeme but this should have been laid out a long time ago

Sending abusive PMs because they are to cowardly to say it on the forum to show what a turkey they are.

Yes, it would be good to stop that too.

I for one am against rule #1.  Surely the Hoonster deserves everything he gets

I really don't get this.  Why would you take it to heart ??  Send them back a reply that says you have worked out where they live and you are sending the boys around for a bit of knee-capping.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but i thought we were all grown ups.

Yep, that's why we don't need to send each other abusive PMs, right?
