The forum is a "private site" owned by the Durango Owners Club, Inc. (hereafter referred to as the DOC) and operated/maintained by the Officers and Board of Directors of the DOC (hereafter collectively referred to as the BOD) for the sole benefit of DOC members. Its primary purpose is to provide a place for open discussion of issues of general interest to all DOC members.
Non-members are welcome to register and participate in the forum but such action does not confer membership in the DOC nor entitle the registrant to any of the benefits reserved for DOC members. For information on becoming a DOC member please visit our How To Join page.
While forum participants are ultimately responsible for the content & material of their individual posts and it's not the aim of the DOC to discourage posters from sharing their personal opinions nor limiting freedom of expression, the following rules will be enforced by the BOD as a means of maintaining a cordial atmosphere for our forum users.
- Material that's illegal, defamatory, misappropriated, obscene, pornographic, contaminated, intentionally harmful, abusive, offensive or otherwise generally unacceptable to most users is prohibited.
- Comments specifically designed to inflame, incite or demean others; including the use of any abbreviations, spelling alterations, acronyms or symbols whose common meaning and usage would be understood as derogatory or obscene; is prohibited.
- Posting of advertising or promotional material is prohibited without prior approval of the BOD. This includes but is not necessarily limited to:
- Posts offering to buy or sell a product or service.
- Posts designed to entice participants into using a product or service offered by the poster.
- Posts asking users to participate in any activity not sanctioned/approved by the DOC.
Notes: DOC members are hereby given approval by the BOD to post personal ads in the Sell and Swap section. All group buy posts must be pre-approved by the BOD
- Disclosing the contents of any private e-mail message with malicious intent is prohibited.
- Inclusion of any "link", URL or web address that directs users to a location containing material prohibited by this AUP is also prohibited.
- Any post that demonstrates "intent" by an individual to circumvent the spirit of this AUP is prohibited.
The BOD hereby reserves the right to monitor all content posted to the forum and may, at its sole discretion, take punitive action against anyone it determines has violated this AUP. The BOD further reserves the right to decide exactly what constitutes a violation and what action it deems appropriate based on the egregiousness of the situation. These may include but are not necessarily limited to:
- Editing or removing offending posts.
- E-mailing of warning messages to offenders.
- Loss of forum posting privileges for as long a period of time as deemed necessary.
- Permanent loss of site access.
All decisions as to the appropriateness of any post will be made in light of the overall family nature of the forum and ensuring an enjoyable experience for our users.
