"Rights-
Members have the right to interact in a respectful environment.
Members have a right to voice their opinions as long as that it does not conflict with another right.
Responsibilities
Members will conduct themselves in a respectful manner. This is not to say that arguments and disagreements between Members are not permitted, simply that a level of respect is to be maintained in doing so. Members' posts should not contain malicious personal attacks, flaming, baiting, post whoring (posting with the sole purpose of increasing their overall post count), trolling, e-sniping, e-stalking, indirect attacks, and other such activities that are not conducive to a positive and productive environment. Personal threats will not be tolerated, and may result in a suspension, if not a perma-ban. Such posts will be acted on by interpretation of BARF Moderators.
When personal disputes arise between Members they will take their squabble to Private Message (PM) when requested by Staff to do so. This does not apply to differences of opinion from which others will benefit (arguments pertaining to motorcycling technique, style, history, etc.); it is specifically targeted at those who actively engage in violation of Section 4.1. Such PM's are not to be posted publicly, nor will they be moderated.
Members will not post other Members' personal information.
MEMBERS: Any registered Member of BARF whose account is active (registration complete and not muted or banned) is entitled to the rights of and subject to the rules of conduct at BARF.

At no time will BARF distribute email addresses or other personal information of Members to any person, business, or entity other than law enforcement officials. Only after validation of identity and justification of purpose will BARF release any information. BARF will not wait until being subpoenaed for information.
BARF will not create or provide access to any tools that allow any person, business, or other entity to contact Members through any means other than the Internet Forum.
