in addition to the above legal requirements it is advised these addition Recommendations are followed
15.1The members of the support team all help you on a voluntary basis, and the Website/Services is free. What this basically means is that you can not demand anything from anyone. The support-team is dedicated to helping every single user of the Website/Services that has a problem, but it might take a while before you have the answer you are looking for.
15.2 To resolve your problem quickly: Be patient (wait 24 hours minimum before bumping), don't double post (one topic is enough, we will all read it). Make your Subject/Post clear which will = more effective answer. Any posts considered inappropriate will be locked or deleted
15.3 Please do not use ALL CAPS when requesting support. This goes for topic titles and message bodies. If noticed a quick warning will be sent out. Typing in ALL CAPS does not mean faster support.
15.4 This is an English speaking forum, to help all members understand the full content of topics please do not use a foreign language, and this includes mobile phone text word shortening! We don’t understand it!!!!!
15.5 It has been advised that on your profile under preferences you set the always show my e-mail address: to No, but that’s up to you!
We have always had a no advertising strategy on the site, this is for two reasons one is to give our sponsors maximum exposure for their financial support of the site & the second is to stop the site being swamp with advertising & spoiling the content.
The site has always been here to support in the main small independent repairers & a few of us have been supporting each other by offering services to other members, to good effect for those involved.
It has been brought to my attention that some signatures have been taking advantage of the site, so I have implemented a new set of guidelines on the use of signature adverts.
Signature adverts must not be longer than 40 characters long, on one line only.
Text size must be restrained to sizes Normal or Large, size huge will not be accepted.
