Please read our rules before posting to ensure the best possible experience for all members!
There are areas of the site you will not be able to gain access to until you've made 5 posts that our team deems worthy (meaning you didn't just make 5 posts of "hi how are you". Additionally, you will not be able to post links until you've made 10 posts.
Respect for fellow members is of utmost importance here. You must agree to treat others with basic courtesy at all times. Gixxer.com expects that all members conduct themselves in a manner that promotes a variety of races, nationalities, creeds, religions and sexes with the focus on total respect of each member of our community. Unprovoked personal attacks will not be tolerated; terms such as “stupid, idiot, moron etc.” and the like will not be tolerated. Continual harassment and or “baiting” of a member of the community or members of the staff will also result sanctions and possible banning from the forum. While we understand that some topics will result in heated discussion, and emotion, please try to respect others opinions and refrain from personal attacks. This will be moderated at the discression of the staff.

2. - Please do not cross-post or double-post topics... i.e. starting a thread that already exists elsewhere. Duplicate threads will be closed.
3. - Members should realize this board is open to a general audience. Members must not post any message to the discussion forums which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, containing pornography, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violate of any law. In addition, members must not post any copyrighted material, unless that material is owned by the member, or Gixxer.com. This includes URLs to pages containing said items or topics. Attempts to usurp this rule will be dealt with individually and at the staffs discretion.
Nudity and or scantily clad pics are only allowed in the Red R forum. Please read the rules in the Red R forum for more specifics referring to its specific rules.
If a member or his wife/girlfriend, or any other female who might reasonably read this board posts photos, be nice. If you cant say anything nice, don't say anything at all. It takes a lot of courage for a female to allow her pics to be viewed for your pleasure. Stupid remarks are hurtful and ruin it for everyone. Not following this rule may result in banning.
4. - Members linking to or asking for information on the posting of specific information relating to how and where to obtain controlled substances or illegal activities is a violation of the board guidelines. This most directly relates to issues such as illegal file sharing and illicit drug use. Posts will be removed and sanctions may be imposed.
5.- Members are asked to respect the bandwidth of other sites. Inline () image tags linking to other sites without permission may be removed. If you quote text from another web site, please post the source of the text and/or a courtesy link back to the source.
Remember fair use of quoted text means no full articles will be allowed. Moderators will edit the post and ask you to repost the article in lesser length along with your comments.

The site is populated by adults, and while we do not expect perfect grammar and spelling, we do ask that you type like an adult.

7. - Members who post for the sole reason of being disruptive (as determined by the Moderators) may be subject to an immediate ban.
8. - If a moderator edits a post by a poster and that poster edits back over the moderators words, this will result in banning of that poster.
