Instead of email, it's faster to communicate with RR by clicking one of the two following links. For non post related issues click the pmRR link at the top of every RR page. For post related issues click the post's Attn: RR link. By design, RR management does not follow or read along with the the tens of thousands of monthly postings. It instead relies on community feedback via the links described above. Please do not ask questions or address RR via forum posts.

Policy has evolved over many years and is not open to public debate. The following behavior will get you locked out: Bring undue attention to yourself by hijacking topics. Post photos or links to porn, smut or extreme violence (no warnings here). Use your signature to taunt RR or any other member. Send abusive messages via RR’s Private Messaging system. Ignore repeated warnings that your behavior is unacceptable. RR does not micro manage its' moderation. Most member problems are brought to RunRyder’s attention via the Attn: RR link.

RunRyder wants to develop guide lines for posting etiquette. Please click here to make suggestions and add comments. The following is considered bad etiquette: MESSAGES TYPED WITH ALL CAPS. Using one word replies such as "NEAT". Making multiple posts with the goal of getting forum users to visit another site (spam). Using the [IMG] tag to post non-RunRyder smiles. This turns on the  Photo topic icon.

RunRyder is a large community with 10,000 active members and over 50,000 posts a month. To maintain site appeal RunRyder minimally moderates and does not mediate the conversations. It must maintain neutrality with all discussions and will never editorialize or offer opinion. RR moderation relies on member feedback, meaning for the most part, the site is community policed. Members contribute feedback by clicking Attn: RR on problem posts. This feedback and its source will not be revealed and will remain private. Sometimes, problem post histories take time to become apparent. Just because it was posted does not mean RR read it or approved it. Important: RunRyder does NOT read member Private Messages unless they are specifically sent to RR. RunRyder does NOT moderate or get involved with Private Message traffic in any way, shape or form unless a PM is forwarded. Use your PM’s Report Spam link to report spam or illegal activity. Most RR moderating actions will happen without discussion.
If moderation is not obvious then use pmRR to ask for clarification.

One way to become known as a troll is to regularly post short comment replies (junk) that on average contains no relevant content. This site is about sharing your hobby experiences. Even in Off Topics, replies need to contain some relevant or coherent dialog. Remember that many members see every post via the “Start Here” or “View New” links and become annoyed with throwaway posts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll http://curezone.com/forums/troll.asp Troll (Internet) (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, most often in the form of posting inflammatory, off-topic, or otherwise inappropriate messages.
