Thanks for Joining PassportForums.com!
There is no charge for joining this Forum! This is a community of individuals who share a common interest in the Honda Passport. It is our goal to support the thoughtful exchange of knowledge, values and experiences among Honda Passport enthusiasts and we aim to ensure that the forum is an enjoyable place that you want to visit time and time again. If you come across any violations of these guidelines or have any problems navigating the site, do not hesitate to let us know through the Report Post function or by contacting a moderator. We'll be happy to address your concerns.
Be Courteous!
Please think before you post and limit your comments to the topic at hand; above all be nice. We encourage everyone to participate in and enjoy the Community while at the same time adhering to these rules:
* Our rules extend to all sections of the website including messaging functions, blogs, galleries and any other public or private posting.
* Do not engage in personal attacks. You may challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Sarcasm, belligerence, insults, profanity, extreme anger, or offensive comments about race, gender, sexual orientation, and national origin are not acceptable.
* Discussion topics should be associated with the Honda Passport with the exception being the ''Honda Passport Lounge Area” Forum which is intended for some off-topic and non-Passport related topics.
* General discussions of politics, general government policies, weaponry, gun rights and religion tend to offend one group or another, and are not allowed in ANY areas of Honda Passport Forum. Discussions about current or pending legislation or regulations, that directly pertain to the Honda Passport or automobile are acceptable but will be closed or removed if they wander off topic or become disruptive.
* Posts containing rude, explicit, obscene or vulgar language, vulgar humor or abbreviations, images or links to websites with adult content/images or punctuation marks designed to "trick" our obscenity filter will be removed.
* Be mindful of yourself and others. This forum is not a democracy and we make the rules. We encourage members to engage in discussions, but there is no guarantee that you can say whatever you like. If rules are violated we retain the right to remove, edit or delete posts and if necessary ban or remove members. Any abuse toward our staff may result in immediate suspension of your account.
* Public discussion about moderation or moderator decisions is not allowed. If a moderator deletes or edits one of your posts and you disagree with the action, contact a forum administrator.
* Do not post libelous remarks or directly misleading information.
* Do not start or participate in flame wars, i.e. my XXX is better than your XXXX.
* Do not post the same discussion more than once or in more than one forum.
* Posts are to be made in the topically appropriate forum area and may be moved to meet this standard. Posts made in the various 'mechanical' forums should be relative to the topic of that forum.
* Participants may not bump threads unnecessarily. Bumping is posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot.
* Trolling, flaming, or cyberstalking are NOT allowed and are grounds for account restriction or banishment. Trolling on this board includes posting controversial and often irrelevant or off-topic messages with the intention of (or anticipated result of) baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal, harmonious on-topic discussion, especially when a pattern of such posting is apparent.
* We take the "be nice" rule VERY seriously! We do not tolerate ANY rudeness.
No Spam, Sales or Solicitations in Forum Discussions
NO SPAM! Our user base is not a resource to be "mined" by individuals, groups, or businesses, for profit or not for profit.
* Participants may not post affiliate links or direct others to any pages at their own commercial website or website in which they have a commercial interest unless a vendor account has been established. Exception to this may be found in Signature standards (see below).
* Post Passport and automotive related sales in Classifieds only. Discussion forums, galleries or other sections of our site may not be used to sell products or solicit for items wanted. A brief (passing) mention that an item is listed in the Classified area is acceptable, but must not include an item description, pricing or similar details. Please read **Rules for Posting in Classifieds** located in each classified sub-forum.
Posting Standards
