Posting Guidelines
Ads must relate to old electronic equipment, also known as boatanchors, and preferably to the parts needed to maintain and use this equipment.
This includes:
- Amateur radio equipment
- Old broadcast radios
- Test equipment
- Professional audio equipment
- CB and Hi-Fi equipment from the vacuum tube era.
- And other vacuum tube power electronics
Today's new equipment is tomorrow's old boatanchor. What is considered old?
- Any tube-type item qualifies.
- Equipment at least 20 years old may qualify, even if solid-state. The admin reserves the right to edit all data entered.
Ads can run from two weeks to over two years!
Keep in mind that this is a discussion board. Posts that are off-topic, better suited as e-mail back to the original posting member, or one-line zingers (member harassment) will be removed.
- HARASSMENT: We welcome individuals of all different backgrounds, orientations, and views, so this is our most important rule: Healthy debate and the exchange of ideas are encouraged; threats, abuse, hate-speech, personal attacks, and harassment will not be tolerated.
- NOT PERSONAL Attack an idea, not a person. Post: "That's a stupid thing to say," instead of: "You are the stupidest person in the world!"
- VULGARITY AND MASKED VULGARITY Many members find certain words make them uncomfortable. We ask you to refrain from using vulgar language on our boards. Masked Vulgarity is using cuss words and trying to "mask" them with other symbols or letters, so the word isn't spelled out. Posts of this nature will be removed.
- BOARD DISRUPTION We want you to enjoy the topics you came to discuss on the boards. Any postings that might interfere with the flow of discussion (e.g. off-topic posts, clutter posts (ex: "me too"), etc.), will be removed without notice at the board monitors' discretion.
- UNACCEPTABLE DISCUSSION We don't allow the promotion of illegal activities on our boards. We reserve the right to remove posts that we believe involve non-consensual activities or would likely result in harm to an individual.
- CLASSIFIED, COMMERCIAL, OR SOLICITING POSTS Posts soliciting or advertising events, items or businesses which include phone numbers, commercial web sites, buy/sell items, SPAM, etc., are not permitted and will be removed.
-
LINKS
All posts with signature lines which include links to other forums & message boards that are not
associated with this site may be removed.
- SINGLE POSTS ONLY In order to avoid the appearance of SPAM, please do not post the same message more than once per board and make sure it's relevant to the board and/or folder you post it in. If you post the same message in more than one folder on a board, or more than once in the same folder, the board manager will leave one copy of the message in the most appropriate folder and delete the rest without notice.
- POSTING PERSONAL INFORMATION Addresses, phone numbers (fax, pager, etc.), and other private information doesn't belong on the boards.
- CONTACT INFO The only exception to this rule is contact information for legitimate resources and non-profit organizations. All commercial posts may be removed without notice.
- POSITIVE Keep things positive. Even if you've decided you don't like someone, at least respect their opinion. And if you don't share an interest in a topic or you think it's lame, don't post there. Your comments about not liking the topic will be removed.
- OUR BEST We will do our best to judge posts on their own merits and in context, however, we do reserve the right to remove any post for any reason. If you have any questions concerning your use of the boards.
