UDMowners is an open forum sponsored by Chester Cheng.

There are certain guidelines you should be aware of before you post messages to this Forum. It is important there are some basic guidelines of conduct. While most people are courteous and polite; there are some individuals that choose to behave in a disrespectful and irresponsible manner. Unlike other public discussion boards, UDMowners reserves the right to take appropriate steps to keep our discussion in line with these guidelines and with good taste.

In general we will leave it to you the community, to police yourselves. Treat others with respect. Remember that this is a public venue read by many people spanning all walks of life. If you question a post please send a PM to Forum Admin.

Please understand that we are not attempting to censor any messages or opinions posted, but this is a moderated discussion forum. We simply want to preserve the spirit of an open, interactive discussion without offending participants. This means that we (UDMowners and the volunteers for UDMowners) reserve the right to edit/remove inappropriate messages, or to lock a discussion thread. Before taking any of these actions, Forum Admin will attempt to steer the discussion back to the topic, if this is possible and appropriate. The additional step of editing or deleting a post will only be taken in appropriate circumstances; again, the intent is not to censor legitimate discussion or to change the meaning of any post. If we edit a post and you do not like the changes please feel free to notify us and we will delete your post. Examples of posts that may be edited or deleted include posts containing profanity, chain letter and other spam postings or posts that reveal private information about another community member. Other examples are discussed in the guidelines below.

Some things to keep in mind when posting:

• Respect: Respect the guidelines for forum usage, and site usage. Respect UDMowners, its forum admin, volunteers, yourself, fellow community members, and guests on these boards. Whether a community member has one post or 5,000 posts, they deserve the same respect.
• Foul Language and obscene images will not be tolerated. This site is community friendly, and all posts and posters must respect the integrity of the site.
• Personal Attacks and Flames will not be tolerated. If you want to praise or criticize, give examples as to why it is good or bad, general attacks on a person or idea will not be tolerated.
• Sock Puppet accounts will not be allowed. A sock puppet is an account made on an internet message board by a person who already has an account for the purpose of posting anonymously. Use your own account for posting personal opinions. Posts from known sock puppet accounts will be deleted and both the puppet and actual account may be banned from using the services of UDMowners.
• Keep on topic: Responses to a particular thread should be on-topic and pertain to the discussion. Users should use the New Topic button to start a new discussion which would otherwise be off-topic in the current thread. Threads that are off topic may be closed by the Forum Admin.
• Private Discussions: Sometimes, a discussion thread strays off into a friendly dialogue or a heated debate among a very small number of users. For these exchanges, use the chat feature that is provided through the UDMowners forums, or the UDMowners Private Message system. Public forum posts should be reserved for matters of interest to the general community.
• Posting Messages: Posting the same message to many topics or boards is considered spam. Duplicate messages will be deleted or consolidated by our Forum Admin. Please do your best to post new topics to the appropriate forum board, Forum Admin will move topics that are posted inappropriately.
• Commercial Postings/Solicitations are not allowed. Commercial content as a direct or indirect (either intentional or non-intentional) attempt to solicit customers through a forum post will be edited or deleted. Notwithstanding the above, UDMowners reserves the right to include limited commercial content in this Forum, in its sole discretion.
• Classifieds advertising is permitted in the ‘Bazaar’ Forum. (UDMowners is not involved in these transactions) Abuse of this forum will be not be tolerated.
