AS you all know EPR has been growing and for that reason we have to start sticking to rules and implement new ones to maintain structure on the forum. I have always said that this forum is laid back but many people take it a little to far. Reading a topic about which ECU is better then it goes into people's sexual orientation is plain stupid.

As Flicker mentioned all the non sense off topic in posts will not be tolerated and NSFW type of avatars/sigs/pics will automaticly be deleted and if the person keeps placing or posting said images they will be banned. This has become a bigger easily accessed site and can be visited by people of all ages, also a lot of people visit the site at their work place, school, public places and I am sure they don't want to have obscene images popping out when visiting EPR.

One other major change will be in the Marketplace, you will now need 50 post to view or make a post in the Marketplace.
Why 50 posts? Well, 50 posts will give members a better feel for what the seller/buyer rep might be since they will be a little more established on the site. The current requirement is 10 but people are just posting smileys or non sense to get the 10 posts. 

BUMPS. we will closely moderate this since NO ONE is reading the current rules regarding this (3 day bump rule). Bumping includes posts that read "GL on the sale", "would buy but no $$$", "good price", etc... and of course "bump"
If you want the part and are serious then ask the seller or send a PM but don't post if you don't intend to buy.
All of these kind of these kinds of posts will be deleted. If the post keeps getting bumped by the original poster the whole topic will be deleted.
The main reason why this is done is to give everyone a chance to be at the top.

All Marketplace topics will run for 30 days. Every topic on here that has not been posted to in 30 days will automaticly be deleted. If your topic gets deleted you will have to repost.

Last thing is the Auto's for sale section.
When posting an ad the post will need to have the following:
Make, Model, Year
VIN (post it or mention if you rather have members contact you for it)
Mileage
Color
Title info (clean, salvaged, etc.)
what's included; engine, wheels, system, etc.
Price
and most important PICTURES.

Don't make a post and add "will post pics later" if you don't have the pics at the time of  the post then don't post and wait until "later" to make the post.

Buyers also need to be smart when making a purchase especially a vehicle. I have received many emails and PM's regarding cars being purchased off of EPR and the car not having what was originally said to have or parts being removed right before delivery or the biggest thing having stolen or suspicious parts such as engines.
Make sure when purchasing everything is on paper and signed. Make sure the car is inspected properly. Pay attention to details and look at the engine for serial numbers, engine codes, etc... If these are removed or shaved off then be suspicious. USE COMMON SENSE.

These are a couple of things and the rules will be updated and a memo will be sent to every member.

Thanks for your understanding and help.
