2. Flaming and cursing will not be tolerated. Any post containing a flame or foul language, including foul language with symbols replacing some of the letters, will be removed. If you have a concern with Spotlight Hobbies, please contact us directly. Posts pertaining to politics, religion or other sensitive issues will be deleted, as will posts that attack or berate individuals or companies. We reserve the right to remove any posts or threads that we feel are inappropriate.

4. Spotlight Hobbies is the owner and operator of this message board and provides it as a free service to you. Advertising or promoting businesses in any way, shape or form, even if indirectly, is not permitted. This also applies to chain stores and hobby shops. This is not an "ad section", please refrain from posting items you want to buy, sell or trade. Promoting or advertising one’s own product, service or web site on the board is not permitted. Links to e-Bay auctions containing models for sale is not unlike posting models for sale on the board and will be deleted. In addition, eBay buyers and sellers tend to consider links to their auctions to be unwanted interference. Information about swap meets and club events is welcome.

5. Advertising or promoting products, services or web sites is not permitted on the board.

6. A lot of people tape races to watch later, and they don’t want to know who won, or even any hints, until they watch it. So if you post something about race results, please keep the details in the post, not in the title, and please put "race info" or something like that in the subject line so a person knows what’s inside and can choose whether or not to open it.

7. If your entire message is contained in the subject line, you do not need to include "N/M" (no message). Just leave the message box empty and it will automatically put it in the subject line for you. If you post a message and it does not show up, it's most likely because your browser did not reload the page but instead pulled it out of cache. Click on "reload" or "refresh" and it should appear. Likewise, when you bring up the message board and it looks like it did the last time you viewed it, click on "reload " or "refresh". There is a setting on your computer which will cause it to load the new page each time you go to it.

8. Please don’t post messages that would be of no interest to anyone else (such as the status of an order). Call or e-mail us instead. (Nearly every "late" order is simply because there has not been enough time for us to get to your order and ship it and for the carrier to get it to you.)

Sorry there have to be so many rules. All we're really asking is that you show a little courtesy & respect for each other, the board and us.

Thanks, Tom Carter, Spotlight Hobbies
