Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

In following with HMT tradition, the ONLY Rule you need to follow when posting here is to have RESPECT when posting on this site.

This means respecting the Moderators, Vendors and your fellow Members alike...even respecting yourself (which is what it all comes down to really).

You all know what respect means and how to give it (and not give it), so your ability to continue to be a member of this site rests on your ability to follow this fairly loose guideline.

WIKIPEDIA DEFINITION

If you don't think you can follow this simple rule, then no one can help you. Not here and not in life. If you cant say it to someone's face, then you probably shouldn't post it. Hiding behind the curtain of the internet isn't a valid excuse.

There will be a simple Three Strike Policy for this...

• 1st Infraction, your post(s) will be removed and you will be asked by a Moderator to tone it down. You will not be told what you did wrong, because chances are (if you aren't legally mentally retarded) then you already know.
• 2nd Infraction, your post(s) will be removed and you will be given a Temp Ban. This will be at least 1 week and not more than 2 weeks, depending on your level of disrespect and how soon after your first infraction the 2nd happens. Again, no reasons given...we are not your parents. Your post count will also be set to ZERO when your account Ban is lifted. If you attempt to log onto the site through a Proxy or other methods and create another account during this time, you will immediately be perma-banned.
• 3rd Infraction, you will be perma banned. Simple...
  

Here are a few examples of disrespect for those that need it spelled out...

• Posting Gay Porn Pictures, links or anything that 'borderline' resembles gay porn...this is serious disrespect for the core values of this site.
• Using racism when it isn't needed. There really shouldn't be any need to use racists comments, unless of course you are a professional comic and its actually funny. Real racism isn't funny...and it won't be tolerated
• Scamming people or selling damaged items as usable. Nuf said...if you have a problem with a transaction that you cannot resolve amicably, contact a moderator...unless of course you foolishly bought something from Hotrex, then go ahead and fist yourself.
• Unnecessarily posting negative comments about an item someone has for sale (this includes Vendors). If you don't like their price or what they are selling, no need to let them know that, just don't buy it. If you have a offer for them, PM it to them...unless it is respectable enough to post publicly.

Well...thats pretty much it. ONE rule...simple and easy. Same as before...this isn't going to be a Nazi Regime with modifying posts or banning users. Everything should flow along as it always has, and people should be who they are and true to themselves. This is not your typical forum and it will continue to carry on that tradition. In the past year though, unnecessary "trends" have been set that aren't good for the site or the members in the long term...its these small 'problems' we are trying to weed out.

Home Made Turbo has always been about creative, cost effective ways for everyone to be able to enjoy the satisfaction of boosting your car. It also was about sharing this info with others. It doesn't matter what parts you use, how ugly it is or how fast it goes...what matters is that you did it yourself. The core group of people that started this site and those that remain here, I know believe in this still.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Very well put and summed up nicely.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Jago called me a chink, I expect atleast a 1 week ban, and steve called me a gook. I'll play by these rules if its actually what is gonna go down. ::)

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

OMG HMT IS TAKING A ----!!!!! OH NOZ WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH ALL THESE CRAZY RULEZ??? OMG NAZI BASTARDZ!!!!! :7 I'M NEVER COMING BACK HERE EVAR AGAIN!!! :7 :7 :7

And you called people round-eye today.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

You are a chinky (Chonky???) ass ----------er nig nog!!! And I own Your tq... Chump!!!!


LOL...

Now go get me some pills.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Who the ---- deleted my post. I call ban on everyone! If youre going to not let us call each other nigs then you cant allow any type of racism, which is going to make this site kinda bland, I honestly enjoy the racism, even if its directed towards me.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Explain how racists comments add ANYTHING to this site?

Again if its funny, or a joke (A Negro wallks into a bar...), there is certainly a place for comedy and FUN on this site.

To anyone who doesn't know this site, they are going to assume from what they will be reading a few posts in and immediately assume this is a KKK site. They wont understand the humor you might if they dont have the right perspective...

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

So no racism of any kind means towards anyone or any race. I can't count the times I've been called a gook on this site, and honestly, it doesn't bother me. I've been around this site long enough to know that anyone without thick skin will not last, and that is the point of hazing the noobs or making them post porn. I don't really give a ---- either way, this is GD, and the racist ---- hardly happens out of here, and if you come to this site for GD then you know what you're getting yourself into. If you cant stand the heat get out of the fire.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

The bottom line is no one can answer my question with a good answer.

If there is a good way to be racist...I am all ears :)

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

a funny racist?

like so...

eh?

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

i agree Xenocron, one simple to follow rule and everyone can get along. regardless of where this takes us, we are still HMT!!! we will never be compared to the likes of HT on any level of change. we have our own legacy to live up to.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

the only rule before was no gay porn, we should be able to call people "------s" all that we want. nobody actually means it.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

why do you need to?

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

i don't. and i have no problem with your rules. its your site, so you're the boss. i just never thought people actually read that deep into the racial slurs.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

instead of african american, change the I to an A.


"quit being a ------ nagger"

done and done.

chris i know you want people to stop typing it, but hell, i think its a bit too far in/too late. the site has been this way for a long while, now. it has gotten outta of hand as of late tho. seems that all the noobs have picked up on it and over use it. the og's are like old people. gonna be hard to change em.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

People have emailed all of the vendors (CCing everyone) before I owned this site, asking us if we condoned and endorsed the porn and racism on the site on multiple occasions.

I remember after one mailing, Jeff lost like 3 sponsors in one swipe because they just paid for a sponsorship and never really looked at the site. When someone brought it to their attention...they quickly asked for their money back :6

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

exactly...but if the site slowly changed to the bad (like it has), its possible to go back the other way. it isnt going to happen overnight...i know this

but the majority of people doing it...dont even know WHY they are doing it

you dont randomly walk around in real life and talk the way a lot of members have become used to posting here. you'd be absolutely embarrassed to talk that way or you'd get the ---- kicked out of you on the regular

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

i say we change it to "porch monkey"...i think we can take it back

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

lmao, awesome

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

well said chris

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

You're a muthafucken lie. I called you a gookER

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

What do you call 50 nig ger s out in a corn field? answer antique farm machinery show.. does that fly as a funny racial joke? Or is that too aggressive

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Not acceptable, did you even read the first post? :1 Trying to get around the word filter will also get you banned if you keep it up.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Im on my phone so it wont straight up say the n word. But chris did say if it was in a funny joke then its somewhat allowable. Just seein if thats the style of joke he is talking about

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

What the ---- does being on your phone have to do with anything? Read the first post. If you are not a professional comedian racist jokes are just racist.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Dr boost called me a gook

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

SEE yeah my word function does not spell the N word at home now for lunch. I THOUGHT it was a funny joke

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Honky ass pilgrim.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

Now pilgrim is funny :)

------ porknpolish

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

there is no good way to be racist if you're trying to make money on sponsors. call a spade a spade. you're not allowing certain things so you can attract new/retain old sponsors.

bottom line

money>free speech

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

That was his name?




---- he'll come back again :3

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

I cant make fun of french canadians ???

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

thing is...the more sponsers we get....USUALLY the better deals on product..and im all for that

and who knows...maybe we'll get enough sponsers to create an actual pinks car.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

That's not racism. That's awesomeness.

Re: Home Made Turbo's ONE Rule Policy
 

They're white. The new PC rule is white people are the devil.
