Some suggestions on running a large biker group site

There could have a deep rift between groups of riders.  It is a good development since it means a lot of interest is going into biking and the groups are hiving off.   I hope everything is fine.

If there are new groups to be put, may I suggest some guidelines:  (as the  admin strictly screens members and asks them to conform to the rules (like email or soc media sites. By clicking this button, you agree  to our terms and conditions)

1. Separate forum about biking and selling of items

2. For the forum;   delineate what is allowed and not allowed

               Allowed:  bike problems, pictures of bikes, rides, tropa

              Not allowed:  religion,  politics, legalities etc.

3.  Laws on privacy and intellectual property must be stated

3.  For the for sale:

            1.   Bike store owners are not allowed to be members;

           2.  The template for posting:

                 1.  Item

                2.  Price

                3.  Brand new or not

               4.  Replica or orig

               5.  Location

               6.  Sellers name, address and phone number

               7. Disclosure of issues

          3. Hindi puwede magpost agad, may scrutiny by admin

         4.  Dapat may policy na return kung may issue, defective (within a certain time frame)

         5.  Hindi puwedeng magpost ng defective or for repair na items

         6.  May recourse ang members if 5, 4 and 2 are violations. like suspension and eventually blocking, or removal from membership from Admin.

        7.  Compliance with Consumer Protection  and Truth in Advertising  must be observed  and monitored by Admin.

       But then, the fun the  camraderie will be lost;   But if we want order and avoid future rift, the ground rules must be clear, otherwise, we cant complain or enforce rules that were non existent before
