OilBurners.net User Agreement

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - OilBurners.net user agreement and rules.

YOU ACCEPT THE FULL CONTENT BELOW BY VIEWING OR REGISTERING FOR OilBurners.net.


We want to promote a clean, healthy, respectful atmosphere where people are not afraid to ask questions, participate in this community and generally have a good time discussing the things we love most - Trucks with Diesels.

Any posts or threads that break these rules may be deleted or edited at any time at the discretion of OilBurners.net. There is no guarantee that any posts or threads will be deleted or edited, however, even if they break forum rules. The volume of posts at OilBurners.net does not allow for review of all messages or action on all emails sent to us reporting messages that violate the rules. OilBurners.net is not liable for any damages suffered by the postings of users on the site.

OilBurners.net is a provider of an "interactive computer service".

Postings on OilBurners.net are "provided by another information content provider" and not OilBurners.net.

OilBurners.net is not the "publisher or speaker" of any posts in the discussion forums.

Violation of the rules listed below is grounds for immediate revocation of your account at OilBurners.net at moderator or administrator discretion.

-------------------------------------------------------

The rules:

(1) No profanity in subject lines or signatures.

(2) No spamming or commercial solicitation of any kind by members.
Any such messages can be removed at the discretion of either a forum moderator or administrator.
Spamming of members via PM(Private Messaging) or emails is strictly prohibited as is Spamming of the Forum topics to advertise your
business,services or "personal pursuits".

(3) Selling of individual items is permissible by a private owner in our Classifieds forums, however selling multiple items of the same product is considered a commercial post and may be removed at the discretion of moderators and/or staff.

(4) Commercial solicitations and links may be posted in the forum they most apply to as long as the company is a supporting vendor at OilBurners.net. Messages promoting a commercial entity that is not a supporting vendor of OilBurners.net may be deleted at any time at the discretion of OilBurners.net moderators and administrators. Occasional posts helping a fellow member to find a commercial vendor that has what he needs may be allowed. If these posts are viewed by moderators or administrators to be commercial promotion (by a vendor, affiliated party, or un-affiliated party) they may be removed/deleted. This decision is based on many criteria and may differ based on the actual moderator or administrator that makes the judgement call.
These posts may be removed/deleted solely at the discretion of OilBurners.net moderators and administrators.

(5) We recommend you not post about trucks you've seen for sale on dealer lots. One reason for this is that it's easy for commercial interests to register a username and act as if they are not associated with the business that they "advertise".

(6) No flaming of other members to incite or perpetuate a conflict or argument.

(7) Personal attacks or name-calling can get you banned.

(8) No bombing forums or threads with pointless posts.

(9) Public debate of OilBurners.net Staff moderations will not be tolerated thus resulting in warning , suspension or revocation of user account/s.

(10) Graphics,images,links and phrases which are sexually explicit or suggestive should not be posted on the forum, in the image gallery, used as avatars, or in signatures.

(11) Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself.

(12) Do not discuss, suggest, engage, or encourage any illegal activity on the forums. Linking to locations that deal with any such activity are also forbidden.

(13) Posting under secondary usernames or alias user names other than your main account for the purpose of arguing, degrading or belittling, or deceiving other readers is grounds for having your posting privileges revoked.

(14) You must have a valid e-mail account in your profile so you can be reached by a forum moderator or administrator.

(15) If you came here to "slam" or "knock" Ford,Dodge,Chevrolet Trucks or other vehicles or the owners on this site, don't bother hitting "Agree",your account WILL be deleted, and your posts removed.

(16) Placing a link to your personal website (Non-commercial) is okay.
Link/s in your signature to your preferred retailers that are not OilBurners.net Supporting Vendors is not permitted,for it's the Supporting Vendors that keep OilBurners.net lights on brightly.
