Today is the first time I ever bothered to read the rules on LRO:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. No spam via post or private message. Spam include but does not limit to:
a. Product or service offerings from a business or organization.
b. Products or services using pyramid scheme.
2. If the topic does not relate to automotive in general, please post it in the Lounge forum.
3. No pornography/censored photo postings is allowed.
4. Please register only ONCE, if you would like to change your login information please contact Forum Administrators.
5. No double-post or cross-post is allowed. DO NOT USE CAPS LOCK FOR A WHOLE POST!
6. Ideas and opinions may be challenged, but NO personal attacks. Always use the appropriate language.
7. Watch your actions, or you will be given a warning. Failure to obey will result in a second warning. Any other infrigements of the rules will result in an initial ban of 2 weeks.
8. Everyone (including Guests, Registered Users, Moderators & Official Sponsors) must obey the above rules unless mentioned otherwise.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe they figured "you are an idiot" to be in violation of number 6.
Still, it seems that others have gotten away with worse.
