Forum Rules & Guidelines

General Outline​

Our goal is to establish an online and in-person community for motorcycle enthusiasts in the Lower Mainland. We want to provide a central location to find and share information and assist each other.

We have no desire to host significant multimedia, we want users to link to their social media accounts (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc) and drive views there (where you may have monetized your feeds, etc). This forum is not intended to try and replace all the associated social media, only to create a local hub to share information.

We want to create a place for locals to buy and sell vehicles and motorcycle related items without the unknown and fraud associated with FB marketplace, Craigslist, etc.

Users​

There are 5 categories of users;

• Unregistered - Have no access to the forums
• Registered - Have created an account, can browse some content, but have limited access
• Verified - A Registered user that has attended an in person meet and been verified as a human by a moderator or senior verified user
• Moderator - A User with some responsibility to assist the administrators with keeping the content in line with community guidelines
• Administrator - The few that run this site

Why do we want to verify users? To establish some form of accountability. Once we establish that you're a real person, you can then participate in the Buy & Sell and have further access to content. Those members assisting with users verification will NOT request personal information or formal identification. We merely want to verify your username and email address used to sign up.
