Default Posting in "The Far Side" (Off-Topic Area)

The Far Side Forum is an area accessible only by request and ADMIN approval. It may include topics that are normally considered out of bounds for our other forums. Topics will include (but not limited to) politics, immigration, sports and whatever/whoever else you choose to post your opinions about that are not Baja related. Because of that, the rules are relaxed a bit in this forum. However some GENERAL RULES still apply:.

Rules (DON'Ts):

1. No discussions allowed that are meant to promote any illegal activity or threats of violence.

2. No use of overly explicit, obscene or vulgar language or messages, pornographic images and/or racist / hate remarks.

3. No personal threats.

4. No Spam is permitted.
• Spam is defined as posting a link for the purpose of selling, soliciting or promoting a website that is not directly topic related.
• Links to helpful web sites (commercial or otherwise) are allowed when they are posted by active, participating members of the forum AND whose purpose is to contribute to the forum, NOT just to solicit, advertise, promote, fundraise, etc.

5. No links to any web site or use of any username that fits into rules # 1-3 above.

6. Do not disrespect forum moderators. Be respectful in both the forums and any private communications with moderators. Moderators are volunteers that donate many, many hours of their own time to help in the forums. Violations of this rule will not be tolerated.

7. Do not post offline personal contact information (ie. your home address, home phone numbers etc.) in this or any of the forums. This is to protect your security and identity.

8. No legal battles on Forum. If you are involved in a legal dispute with another party, resolve that between yourselves, in court or just let it go - we really don't care. it is okay to report on problems in Baja that may affect people but it is not okay to carry out your legal battles here on the forum to sway public opinion. If arbitration and/or the courts cannot help, we probably will be no more successful.


Guidelines - DO's:

1. Report posts or activities that violate the rules and guidelines by selecting the Admin report button below the post or via a private message. We will act on the report in a timely manner.

2. Know when too much is TOO MUCH and too far is TOO FAR. Use good judgment. You are adults and act accordingly.

Moderators:

TalkBaja.com is moderated by volunteers that have the right to edit or delete posts without prior notice that violate any of the rules above. They are also responsible for keeping the forum a happy playground and you can spot a moderator because their posts indicate that they are moderators. If you are interested in becoming a moderator, please contact the Admin account.


Please Remember:

Users that do not abide by the rules may be subject to having their posts edited or deleted, their member account permanently banned from further access and/or deleted without notice.

Rules and guidelines may change at any time, please re-read them regularly.

For access, send me a PM and based on your forum posting history, you MAY be given access. Continued bad behavior in the forum may result in your loss of access and posting privileges.

Thanks and enjoy!
