Forum Rules for Incident Evaluation

Welcome to our community dedicated to fair and constructive incident review. Our goal is to create a respectful environment where sim racers can learn, share, and improve their skills through thoughtful discussion. To ensure a positive experience for all members, please adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Respect and Courtesy

• Maintain a friendly and respectful tone in all discussions.
• Disagreements should be constructive, not personal.
• Do not shame, insult, or belittle other members or racers featured in videos.
• Critique the driving, not the driver.
• Do not use offensive language or slurs. Remember, everyone is here to learn and improve.

2. Privacy and Conduct

• Do not post personal information or outside details about racers. This includes real names, social media handles, or any identifying info.
• Refrain from targeting or "outing" specific racers or engaging in any form of harassment.
• Be mindful that behind every video is a person—treat all community members with the same respect you expect for yourself.

3. Video Submission Guidelines

• Upload clear, unedited videos showing the incident from a consistent and relevant perspective.
• Include context if needed (e.g., track, lap number, race conditions) to aid understanding.
• Do not submit videos that contain illegal content, intentional sabotage, or unedited footage that misrepresents the incident.

4. Evaluation Process

• Forum members will discuss and offer their opinions based on standard racing etiquette, rules, and common industry practices.
• The goal is to provide a fair and balanced assessment—not to assign blame outright or declare anyone a “bad driver.”
• Remember that opinions are subjective; respect differing viewpoints.

5. Constructive Feedback

• Critique should be focused on driving behavior and decision-making rather than personal attacks.
• Offer suggestions for improvement rather than criticizing individuals.
• Use language that encourages learning and growth.

6. Avoiding Industry Pitfalls

• Do not engage in "racing shaming," trolling, or inflammatory comments.
• Respect the fact that every driver makes mistakes; our aim is mutual growth, not judgment.
• Refrain from making unsubstantiated accusations or spreading rumors about other racers.

7. Moderator Authority

• Moderators reserve the right to remove posts or comments that violate community guidelines.
• Repeat offenders may be banned to maintain a healthy environment for everyone.
