Basic House Rules
Guides For This Website
For Everyone
Updated:
This website is intended to be a family-friendly resource. As such, there are a few important rules about how it should be run, and we'd appreciate you taking a moment to familiarize yourself with them.
We're not into censorship, so we hope you will help us to keep the place clean without the need to interfere, but content that violates the following guidelines may be modified or removed by a moderator, in order to keep our content suitable for everyone.
"Family Friendly" Means...
* Please speak to each other respectfully and do not use excessive foul language.
If you really want to express a strong opinion, imagine there were children present.
* Do not post objectionable images anywhere.
The site is about van life, freedom, creativity and independence, and the majority of its content should be related to those topics.
The Zero Spam Rule
This internet of ours is saturated in useless, time-wasting spam and worse. Well, I won't stand for it. Not here.
Posting spam or attempting to deceive people in any way will result in an immediate and permanent ban from the site, and the total loss of subscriber content, without additional warning (this is your first one) and without compensation.
For clarity, and aside from the really obvious, all of the following will be considered spam, and may earn you a demotion (resulting in less access to content, and eventually to none at all). Although this isn't an exhaustive list, I believe you're intelligent enough to figure out if what you're posting is likely be considered spam.
* Political opinions are generally best avoided, since they tend to rub people the wrong way.
* Needless bickering is out. Who needs it?!
* Deliberately picking on someone for any reason.
That doesn't mean you can't point out someone's flawed logic or incorrect assumptions, but name calling and such is out.
* Looking for ways to be offended.
If you enjoy being offended by everything, join facebook - you'll have a lot of fun.
* Irrelevant comments and links.
If your comments have nothing to do with the subjects of this website, or the article on which you are commenting, it's probably spam.
* Sales links, except where actually relevant; Excessive sales links in any context; Not making it clear that your links earn you revenue.
* Deliberately provocative, insulting or abusive remarks.
Look. Just don't be a jerk.
That's it.
We hope you enjoy the site and make good use of the information and discussions you have here.
