The
Ferrari 1 Message Board has been for several years, a
completely open online community. Recent events have
forced us to change this policy for the betterment of
the site. We must however state that the Ferrari 1
Message Board will still remain a very open forum for
the exchange of opinions, news and ideas related to
Ferrari and the Formula 1 World Championship.
What ollows is a list of the new regulations, which
must be followed by all board members.
Offenses Whish May Result In
User Banishment:
-
Ferrari 1 is for
debating, not verbal assaults. No user shall act in
a way which is insulting to other members. This
includes but is not limited to:
-Racial insults
-Gender insults -Sexual preference insults
-Insults pertaining to one's mother
-Insults towards someone's physical appearance
-Any insult which is not meant in a playful manner
-
Ferrari 1 may be a
Tifosi community, though fans of all teams and
drivers are welcome to join in the posting. This
does not mean however that Ferrari or other fans can
launch attacks on other teams or drivers.
Accusations and playful remarks towards another team
are certainly permitted, as long as they are not of
malicious intent or overly hostile.
-
Ferrari 1 is a serious
site for conversations related to Ferrari and
Formula 1 and is not a place for completely
superfluous threads. This does not mean that you can
not have fun and talk about things not related to
Formula 1 or Ferrari, but rather that there is to be
nothing which is excessively moronic.
Offenses Whish May Result In User
Scolding:
-
Ferrari 1 supports the
use of pictures and drawings to illustrate points
and to poke fun at drivers, teams and team
personnel. We do not however accept the willful
insulting of users by using pictures which are
obviously not of them and are used in a hurtful
manner.
-
Ferrari 1 likes to
hear about news which has been posted on other
websites, though we also want to see your sources.
This prevents fabricated stories from being
circulated and is also a common courtesy.
-
Ferrari 1 does not
like advertising from other formula 1 news, betting,
gaming and shopping websites. This also includes
advertisements from other non-Formula 1 related
websites and/or products.
Consequences Of Rules Violations:

Breaking the final
three rules depicted herein, will likely result in a
scolding by Ferrari 1 administrative staff, and
possible deletion of the thread.

three rules depicted herein, result in a verbal
warning from Ferrari 1 administrative staff. If a
user continues to break these rules, they will be
given a maximum of three verbal warnings (including
the first). Upon the final strike a thread will be
created asking whether or not the user in question
should be banned. Each user is permitted to cast one
vote, either for or against the banning on this
