Team-BHP is a collaborative community, intended to provide a resourceful and enjoyable medium to Indian car enthusiasts. It is therefore imperative that you, as a member, observe the following rules to maintain the harmony of this community.

1. Chat/SMS Lingo is not permitted on Team-BHP. Therefore, "my" is not "mi", "before" is not "b4" and "that" is not "dat".

2. A decent communication protocol must be adhered to. Foul language and use of abusive words/photographs in posts/avatars/signatures/topics are STRICTLY prohibited. Even indirect use of abusive language (e.g. B****) will attract moderator action.

3. Do make sure that you provide the relevant permission & references / original sources for every piece of material that has been taken from any other website / publication.

4. No commercial information should be provided anywhere, except the marketplace section for automotive goods /services. Also, no third parties are permitted to make any commercial offers to members, via the Private Messaging (PM) or email facility.

5. Spamming is considered as a very serious offence on Team-BHP. It includes one-line replies which have no relevance or do not contribute to the board in any way. Also, the minimum character limit for posts is currently set at 20. Any attempts to bypass this limit will be counted as spam.

6. No personal attacks on any member will be entertained. This includes any direct / indirect attempt at trolling. All the members are part of the Team-BHP family and any discriminating or derogatory comment will be dealt with severely.

7. Any photographs within a thread MUST be uploaded to the Team-BHP server. Displaying externally hosted pictures is NOT permitted.

8. Smilie usage is restricted to TWO per post.

9. We would appreciate new members using the search feature before posting on topics that have already been discussed extensively before.

10. Please title threads accurately in order to represent the subject matter that they contain.

11. Team-BHP maintains a strong stand against drinking and driving. Posts that don't abide by this view, or containing ANY alcohol content (in text or pictures, directly or indirectly) will not be entertained on the forum. This rule affects all posts from 1st Jan 2009 onwards.

12. Posts created in a "dotty" style cause inconvenience to other members. Please do not type using excessive dots / fullstops (e.g. The new car launch.......is expected......in June........).

13. Sensitive discussions involving politics or religion are to be avoided, due to their highly subjective nature which can lead to volatile and inconclusive debates.

14. While the Team-BHP Support takes decisions only with a community-centric attitude, public threads / discussions on Administrative decisions, moderator actions, portal costs, advertising & finances are not permitted. For any clarifications, BHPians are free to use the "contact us" form.

Inobservance of the above-mentioned rules will lead to an immediate warning, an infraction and deletion of the concerned post. Repeated offences will lead to the member being permanently banned from Team-BHP. We, the The Team-BHP Support, work very hard in maintaining the quality of this community and would respect the same from your end.

Thanking you for your anticipated co-operation
