There is no guarantee that any posts or threads will be deleted or edited, however, even if they break forum rules. The volume of posts at 80sxchange.com does not allow for review of all messages or action on all emails sent to us reporting messages that violate the rules.

Commercial solicitations may be posted in the forum they most apply to as long as the company conducting the group buy is a supporting vendor at 80sxchange.com.

Messages promoting a commercial entity that is not a supporting vendor of 80sxchange.com may be deleted at any time at the discretion of 80sxchange.com moderators and administrators.

No flaming of other members to incite or perpetuate a conflict or argument.

Personal attacks or name-calling can get you banned.

No bombing forums or threads with pointless posts.

Do not impersonate other individuals or falsely represent yourself.

Do not discuss, suggest, engage, or encourage any illegal activity on the forums. Linking to locations that deal with any such activity are also forbidden.

Posting under secondary usernames or alias user names other than your main account for the purpose of arguing, degrading or belittling other readers is grounds for having your posting privileges revoked.

You must have a valid e-mail account in your profile so you can be reached by a forum moderator or administrator.

There are going to be topics and discussions that will have heated debates. Please think before you post and re-read what you type before you post it. Keep your comments limited to the debate at hand and do not make this a personal issue between you and another reader. There is tremendous diversity in age, race, gender, language, location (worldwide) and more here and there will be a lot of varying opinions on different subjects. We're all human beings and we're all drawn to this site because we have a common bond as 80s fans.
