Basic Rules of Conduct on this Form
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 27, 2004 10:59 AM
As a new member to this form, can somebody tell the basic rules. For instance is it ok to say both good things and bad things about ANY mfg that you may have had good luck with or bad luck .
Or is it just a good idea to not mention the mfg when inquiring about a product .

As far as my experience with this forum everyone is helpful and pleasant. I am sure if one acts or posts in a respectful manner no one will react negatively. You could do as you please but I believe it is helpful if you mention what make it is especially when the question has to do with something technical. We always discuss likes and dislikes as well.

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck

The 2 big no-nos are bad language and personal attacks on other members. Criticism of other forums has become old and tedious, and should be avoiided. Product complaints often make for good discussion. Remember, the goal is to have fun.[:)]

If you have a complaint about a product or dealer, make sure it's backed up with facts. Think before you post, because some come here just to get into a flaming debate.

Yes Bill, AI learned a good lesson to not transfer info from one board to another, whatever board it is. Finish your discussion here and then leave it here. I will do my best to keep the faith and behave. Dave Roxin.
