From the administrator:
In order to make a more pleasant and constructive community, we are developing guidelines for participation in the community. These guidelines may evolve over time to suit the changes that always result in a growing culture. We will do our best to give all members notice of the changes in guidelines as they happen. You are encouraged to comment and discuss (respectfully) the guidelines as they are developed, and hopefully we can come to an agreement based on popular opinion as to acceptable standards that everyone can live with.
What is Bama Rides?
- Bama Rides is a diverse community of bikers - street, dirt, sport, cruisers, customs, trikes, and even scooters. We welcome everyone who rides or is thinking about riding on 2 or 3 wheels.
- We formed Bama Rides in Sept 2007 in order to learn more about the world of motorcycles in the state of Alabama, scenic rides, destinations, great roads, interesting people, food, pubs, shops, stops and anything else that involves motorcycling and the culture surrounding it.
- We are a group that shares knowledge, expertise, experience, ideas, creations, and rides with other members and vistors.
- We hope in the future Bama Rides will become a hub, or information network that bikers rely on to know what is happening in Alabama
What Bama Rides is NOT
- We are NOT a cruiser club, a sportbike club, a racing club, or a political organization
- We DO NOT endorse any makes, models, brands, manufacturers or distributors of motorcycles
- We DO NOT discriminate based on race, gender, religion, style or brand
- We DO NOT ALLOW complete freedom of speech - we have standards of decency (very low) that you will comply with, or suffer revocation of your membership
Guidelines for behavior:
1. Treat other members like you would like to be treated, mainly with respect
2. Do not make generalizations or stereotype comments about other groups, styles, or bikers
3. Keep in mind, your opinion is just that, and always ask yourself - "How does my opinion contribute to the discussion?"
4. Unless it directly relates to bike culture, your politics, religion, sex life, and spam are not welcome
5. Hate speech is never welcome, write a book or start a blog, but take it somewhere else

MODERATORS LAW
A Moderator's word is the law; don't bother arguing. Moderator decisions are final.
* Arguing over decisions or making polls or topics regarding admin/mod decisions will not get a decision overturned, it will however get your thread deleted.
Avoid arguing any moderator-related actions in public. Any disagreement to moderator-related actions must first be addressed to the moderator or administrator concerned, privately (via a private message [PM] or email or chat). Unresolved issues related to moderation must then be submitted to the administrator.
* Posters who abuse others on here will be banned.
* Permanent bans will be handed out on a first offense if a moderator feels it is warranted.
Abuse someone and you will be banned. Calling someone an idiot is abuse.
* Don't attack the poster, attack the post.
Feel free to make suggestions HERE
