DP-HD Forum Rules and Regulations
General Rules and Regulations Main Forum Screen






Only one account per person is permitted.

Keep all posts on-topic.

All posts must be in English.

Do not astroturf or pretend to be/represent somebody else. Your account will be deleted if found to be in breach of this rule.

Do not discuss illegal activities. Our server is hosted in the USA and so is subject to US law. Please do not expose us to any unnecessary legal liability.

Check that your question has not been answered anywhere else on the site. Use the search feature.

Post your comment/question to the most appropriate place. Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places.

Make sure you have read the parent article/post completely before posting a reply.

Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source. Plagiarism is unethical and is illegal in many countries.

Choose an appropriate subject line. Try to summarize the problem briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message itself. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer.

Do not use all caps and do not add false information just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be arrested;). An example of a bad subject would be "HELP ME". A good subject might be, "Bolt won’t fit on Ford Suspension". Do not use a URL as a thread title.

Include as much information as you can when seeking help – give sufficient detail.

No useless posts. This includes: Thread bumping, useless one liners, Flamewars, Trolling and Spamming. Thank those who help you.

All those who have been helped on this forum are invited to help other users by responding to their questions when they know the answer and /or to consider donating to the project.

Do not propose/link to any site that contains copyrighted software/materials that can be downloaded illegally.
At All Times!
  Keep all commentary civil, and be courteous at all times. Constructive criticism is welcome, but insults directed towards other users or the site administrators will not be tolerated.

No commercial advertising is permitted.

Any posts deemed to be self promotion, advertising, or spam can and will be removed. NO SPAM - NO ADVERTISING!

This is not the place to settle a commercial disagreement. Any posts deemed to be of this nature will be removed. Settle your disputes in private please – an user e-mail link is provided.

If you feel a post violates any of these rules, or you need to bring it to the attention of a moderator (move threads/close/split), please use the ‘Contact Admin’ link to notify the moderators.

These forums are centered on the Heavy Duty Truck Aftermarket. They are not a place to promote ideological, religious, or political matters. All such discussions will be deleted/closed.
