The Terms & Conditions of use of this forum have been updated.
Appropriateness A primary aim of any Rolls-Royce or Bentley custodian should be the preservation of the entire vehicle in a condition as close to original as possible. Accordingly, discussion in this forum about maintenance, repair or restoration of Rolls-Royce or Bentley vehicles must adhere to this aim. It follows that
- Promoting or discussing any vehicle modification that departs from the original Rolls-Royce or Bentley design or intent for that vehicle is not permitted.
- Only where aftermarket replacement parts are indistinguishable from genuine parts may use of such parts be promoted or discussed.
- Only when parts of original design are no longer available may replacement with suitable non-identical parts be promoted or discussed.
If the moderators consider a thread or post to be in violation of the above it will be subject to closure, alteration or deletion without notice or discussion. Where any doubts arise on what is acceptable maintenance you must consider the judging guidelines as outlined in Section 6 (General Rules) of the RROCA Judges Manual. |

Differences of opinion on a globally accessible online forum are inevitable. Anyone who participates in such a forum must be prepared for their views to be contested by others. Everyone is allowed to argue their position; in fact, they're expected to. If you feel offended or insulted by another member or vehemently disagree with them you are welcome to make this known but you must do so in a reasoned, polite and civilised manner. You also need to realise when you're getting nowhere and when to simply disengage. Choose to ignore the person who's bothering you. Be the bigger man and walk away from the argument. Do not let it descend into an endless, fruitless back and forth. You do not need to have the last word. Don't be this guy.
Above all do NOT allow it to get personal because it may be you that suffers. Any posts that violate the clearly posted Terms and Conditions are subject to removal. Any member who repeatedly or wilfully violates these rules will be suspended or barred from the forums, regardless of how valued a contributor they may be at other times. Forum members apparently also need to be reminded that the moderator has a life and cannot monitor the forums 24x7, so occasionally inappropriate posts will appear that are visible until the moderator can find them and remove them. What constitutes 'inappropriate' is also entirely up to the moderator, not the forum members, so please bear that in mind when you question why certain posts are deleted and others remain. In the two decades this forum has been in operation only one person has volunteered to be a moderator and we should all be grateful that he continues to diligently perform this often onerous task with grace, wisdom and forebearance. |

There has been a notable incidence of non-RR/B related topics raised for discussion lately. Such topics are contrary to the AU RR Forums Terms and Conditions. All users are requested to refresh their knowledge of the T&Cs and remember that compliance is a condition of their continued use of this site. If sufficient demand exists for a general off-topic chat-room one can be created, but the T&Cs will stand for all existing areas and all users must comply. |

ESSENTIAL READING FOR ALL In recent times, there has been a marked deterioration in the standard and quality of contributions from some of our participants. In particular, the direct posting without moderation privilege has been particularly abused by certain posts with content intended to provoke dissent and abusive retaliation. Requests by myself for participants to respect the privileges extended to them and to refrain from posting provocative, verbose, rambling and otherwise objectionable/irrelevant material have only been partly successfull. The Club, Administrator and Moderators have done their best to give paticipants what is arguably the best R-R/B forum with open access, the ability to post information in formats other than text and a minimum of Moderator intervention/censorship. This state of affairs is now at risk due to the inconsiderate, selfish and egotistical actions of a very small minority. The Federal Executive of the Club have now intervened and have granted the Administrator and Moderators the right to take whatever action they deem necessary to control access, change posting privileges, request editing and suspend membership for participants who are unable to meet reasonable standards and/or do not comply with requests to change their manner of participation. If we are not successful in achieving and maintaining the desired standards; the open access/immediate posting privileges could be withdrawn and, in the worst-case scenario, the forum be restricted to members only. I am sure you all will agree this outcome would be a great disappointment to us all. I trust those contributing to this situation will act more responsibly in future, proof read their posts more carefully for relevance, clarity and conciseness and above all respect the right of others to have alternative points of view regardless of legal, technical and procedural technicalities known only to "experts". Persuasion rather than dogmatic insistence/intimidation will be more informative and successful in getting others to change their point of view. |

Have users noticed the two icons at the top right of each message? The and ? They're to Edit or Delete the message. If you post your message and then realise it needs editing, within thirty minutes of posting you can click on the Edit button and make the necessary changes. If you decide your post was unnecessary you can delete it altogether by clicking on the Delete icon. I hope this information helps reduce the number of "Oops. I meant to say..." messages we've been seeing lately. |
