Community Guidelines

The short version

• Be honest. Don't misrepresent cars, parts, or yourself.
• Be respectful. Disagree with ideas, not people.
• Stay on topic. This is an S2000 community.
• Don't spam, self-promote excessively, or game the platform.
• Don't post anything illegal.

1. Authenticity & Honesty

The S2000 community runs on trust. Misrepresenting a car's condition, history, or ownership is a serious violation and will result in permanent removal.

• List only cars and parts you own or are authorised to sell
• Disclose known defects, accident history, and modifications accurately
• Don't create fake accounts or impersonate other members
• Don't manipulate valuation data or listing metrics
• Don't post fabricated specs, dyno numbers, or maintenance records

2. Respect & Conduct

Passionate debate about AP1 vs AP2 is welcome. Personal attacks are not.

• No harassment, hate speech, or targeted abuse toward any member
• No threats, doxing, or sharing of private information without consent
• No discriminatory content based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, or nationality
• Criticism of builds, opinions, and decisions is fine — attacking people is not
• If a conversation turns hostile, disengage and report it

3. Marketplace Rules

The marketplace is for S2000s, S2000 parts, and S2000-related items only.

• One listing per item — no duplicate or cross-posted listings
• Include clear, accurate photos of the actual item (no stock images for parts)
• State your asking price or clearly mark as “offer”
• Update or remove listings once sold — do not leave stale listings active
• No bait-and-switch pricing between listing and transaction
• No listings for stolen, salvage-titled-as-clean, or cloned vehicles
• Dealers and commercial sellers must identify themselves as such

s2khub is a venue, not a party to transactions. Always meet in a safe location, conduct a pre-purchase inspection, and verify title before any money changes hands.

4. Content Standards

• No sexually explicit, graphic violence, or shock content
• No content that glorifies illegal street racing or reckless driving
• No spam, unsolicited advertising, or excessive self-promotion
• No affiliate links, referral codes, or undisclosed paid promotions
• Photos and videos must be content you own or have rights to share
• Knowledge base submissions must be accurate and cite sources where applicable

5. AI Assistant Use

The AI assistant is here to help with S2000 questions. Don't try to break it.

• Use the assistant for S2000-related questions only
• Don't attempt to bypass rate limits or extract data at scale
• Don't use the assistant to generate spam, fake reviews, or misleading content
• Treat AI responses as a starting point, not gospel — verify critical specs independently

6. Legal Compliance

• No listings or discussion facilitating illegal modifications (e.g., smog-delete on road cars)
• No counterfeit or knock-off parts listed as genuine OEM or branded parts
• No content that infringes copyright or trademark
• No content involving stolen vehicles or parts

7. Enforcement

Violations are handled based on severity and pattern. Actions include content removal, warning, temporary suspension, and permanent ban. We do not operate a strict strike system — serious violations (fraud, threats, doxing) result in immediate permanent removal.

Banned users may not create new accounts. Circumventing a ban is a violation that may be escalated to law enforcement where appropriate.

8. Reporting

If you see something that violates these guidelines, report it. Every listing, post, and profile has a report option. For urgent safety concerns or fraud, email trust@s2khub.com directly.

We review all reports and act on violations, but we cannot guarantee a response to every report. We do not share enforcement details with reporters.

9. Appeals

If you believe your content was removed or your account actioned in error, email trust@s2khub.com with the subject line “Appeal” and a brief explanation. We review appeals once per account and decisions are final.
