    Re: International detailing association

    Please read our forum rules about posting clickable links and promoting your business.

    We have a thirty post rule to prevent people form "Hit & Run" spamming of our forum for their gain. We figure after you pass 30 substantial posts that's a good indicator your here to be a part of our online community, not just use our forum to promote your business.

    Here you go...

    Forum Rules


    When Meguiar's Online when live in January 2004 our goal was to create an Online community for learning about car care and detailing. A place for "Car Crazy" enthusiasts to share and learn from the experience and knowledge of others. We pride ourselves on providing a family friendly and polite community for constructive conversation.

    Meguiar's Online Member Rules

    1. No personal attacks toward members or non-members will be tolerated.

    2. No arguing with Moderators or Administrators.

    3. You are welcome to disagree but you must be polite.

    4. No bashing any company or their products. No bashing other people. If you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all.

    5. Forum Nicknames and Avatars must be family friendly, they cannot even hint towards anything raunchy, sleazy, sexual or inappropriate. When in doubt we will err on the side of caution and ask you to choose a different nickname. E-mail addresses cannot be used as a forum nickname.

    6. No politics. Politics are a very important part of our culture and it's important that everyone be involved to the degree that they are compelled but not on this forum. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of political websites and political discussion forums and if you want to talk about politics then these other discussion forums is where you need to post your opinions, not here on MeguiarsOnline.com Also we will not allow forum nicknames or Avatars with any political implications. MOL is about discussing car care not politics.


    7. Keep language "G Rated", this includes insinuations. If you wouldn't say it in front of your grandparents, your parents or your children, then you shouldn't probably be posting to the Meguiar's Online forum.

    8. Only appropriate pictures suitable for all audiences will be allowed, this includes avatars. If the photo is questionable at all it will be deleted at our discretion without warning.

    9. Clickable Links are allowed after new members have over 30 substantial posts . Self-promoting clickable links are not allowed and will not be tolerated in messages. Self-promoting links are allowed in signature Lines once a member reaches Level 2 Privileges. Self-promoting statements, phone numbers or e-mails addresses are also not allowed in your posts.



    10. Only one account per member! The only conceivable reason for multiple accounts, would be for fraudulent activity. You will be banned for this action immediately.

    11. Continuously breaking the rules to disrupt the online community will result in you being banned from the forum with little or no warning.

    12. No Commercial sales or samples from competing companies. One post trying to hawk your wares and you will have banned yourself permanently.

    13. All messages posted to MeguiarsOnline become the property of Meguiar's Inc. and may not be deleted without first obtaining permission. Deleting messages without permission will result in immediate banning from the forum.

      Re: International detailing association

      Just to note, it looks like the above was copied and pasted from some type of Microsoft Office Document.

      We see this from time to time as there's "Hidden Code" behind what you actually see on your monitor and when you copy and paste this into the vBulletin software it can get jumbled.

      Note the Hidden Code is jumbled and portions have shown up in the message.





      A workaround is to copy and paste it into vBulletin when you have vBulletin in "Editor Mode" which is this little button in the upper left hand corner of your message formatting box.




      Or copy and paste into Notepad first which in most cases will strip out any of the hidden code. Then copy and paste this into vBulletin either mode, WYSIWYG or Editor Mode.

      Of course then you'll lose ALL formatting including links but that's easy enough to put back in if you know the basics of inserting a hyperlink into your post.

      FWIW
