By posting anywhere on this message board, it is assumed all users have read and understand the following posting rules.

1. Show courtesy and respect to ALL other members, moderators, administrators, and staff. Any disrespect to others may result in banning that member.



2. Potential Sponsors, please contact the site admins if you are interested in supporting XterraNation.org. We do not allow ad's being posted by non sponsors. They will be deleted!

3. Sponsors, you must have your business name incorporated into your signature with a link to your website.



4. Flame-baiting, flaming, being abusive, being disrespectful, trolling, NO DRAMA, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.
4a. Do not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any US laws.



5. Users may only have one account/username. Anyone caught with more than one account may result in a ban. Secondary accounts have been known to be used as an outlet for offensive posts, cheating, and alter-egos.



6. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.



7. Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.



8. Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.



9. Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If you feel a post violates the forum rules, the use the "Report to Moderator" link in the post to report it.



10. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This includes attempts to bypass the profanity filter.



11. No cheating in Build Of The Month (BOTM). Please read the rules provided in the nominating and voting part of the Xterra Nation Polls.



12. Images posted of Xterras or any vehicle you own, must be on a trail or you must have permission on private property.



13. Users are permitted to upload their own avatars. Avatars must be in good taste and consistent with the other rules of this board.



14. Use the search options prior to asking a question. There is a chance your issue has already been addressed.



15. Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT (All Caps) or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.



16. All posts, in public forums, should be made in the English language.



17. Threads started devoid of commentary will not be allowed (i.e. links, cut-n-pastes, clicky, read this, etc...)



18. Posting topics or threads which are based on politics, race, religion, or to promote anger (e.g. discussing what pisses you off in your everyday life.) is expressly forbidden. These topics can get heated really quick and will be closed.



19. When posting write legibly. Posting The Wall Of Text is not easy for everyone to read and will be disregarded by most. Grammar police will be on your case about this until you can make the effort to make paragraphs.



20. Please avoid vague thread titles in serious or technical posts. e.g. "Look at these." or "Where can I get this?" is not an acceptable title. A vague title will not help others or yourself in future searches. Members who continue to give a vague title, for serious or technical posts, will receive a warning if this persists.


Group Buys:
  • Keep all group buys in the Group Buys forum on XterraNation.org.You must ask a Admin before posting any group buys. We have to protect or sponsors! We have NO issue with group buys as a whole, we just need all potential GB in check.

  • Admins of XN can close a group buy thread at anytime if we deem there is an issue with the way it is being run.

  • Xterra Nation is not responsible for any products being sold, pricing, products received, dealings with the seller. Participation in a Group Buy does not create warranties, express or implied, on the part of Xterra Nation. Buyer beware!

  • Know whom you are dealing with and/or whom you are buying from. We have seen people wronged in Group Buys in the past on other Xterra sites.

  • Please add a closing date to the group buy. This way people have a deadline.

Further information regarding Xterra Nation Administration, Moderators, Banning of a member.:
