Forum Rules and Policies of Twisted Stallions Mustang Club
The following is the Code of Conduct to be used while participating on the Twisted Stallions Mustang Club (TSMC) website forums page. Posting messages on this board is not a right based on membership, but is a privilege that can and will be revoked if the Code of Conduct is not abided by. The club and its website is to be considered a family friendly entity where members can enjoy the Mustang hobby and all of its different venues. There are members of the TSMC that moderate this forum. We encourage all members to participate in the forum to share knowledge and promote a positive experience when communicating with others.

The moderator is expected to monitor and maintain the message board to ensure that the TSMC’s reputation as a family organization and its ideals (to include sponsors) are upheld and not adversely impacted by the opinions, views, and/or actions of those who participate in the message forums.
The Twisted Stallions Mustang Club is made up of members owning Ford Mustang’s of various years and models. The strength of this forum resides in our ability to appreciate each others cars without the need to foster rivalry between members based on the vehicle driven. Private Messages can be used to communicate between two individuals. Private Messages can only be viewed by the sender, the recipient, and the administrator of the site. Should any member find a Private Message to be vulgar and offensive, the administrator has the right to view the PM and bring it to the President of the TSMC to be considered as an infraction of the Code of Conduct. The administrator will at no time divulge the content of any PM other than to the presiding officer of the TSMC.

If participants violate any of these guidelines, the moderator will notify the individual(s) of the conduct infraction, which is to be understood as a warning. If a second warning is needed, the moderator reserves the right to ban the participant(s) from posting on this website. If the offender is NOT a member of the TSMC, only one infraction is needed for consideration to be banned from the site.
