Please, do not post your actual email address (except to register) in public websites.
New members may not post until approved. The forum is about Marinette Owners and other aluminum boat boaters who wish to share boating information. Aluminum Roamer and other metal boat owners are also welcome. (Do not post content you do not have the right to post and mass (robots) posters are unwelcome.)

You can post periodically, if you are a company selling a product that Marinettes would be interested in. Those posts must contain content. Please don't abuse the email addresses you may acquire

State by what permission, you copy content and accredit properly. The site is now fixed with some more Chrysler information. I will try to post more information soon. We have space for pictures on the new location. PLEASE post in the appropriate folder. Please, do not post your actual email address in publicly readable websites.

Nothing offensive - It's a boat forum. Nothing I wouldn't want my mother to see. Sheesh!. No deeply off color jokes, references or names.

Rule 1) As in our prior forum - Be a class act. If you don't know what that is ... don't come here.

Rule 2) Copyright is respected - don't post without the rights to the content
Rule 3) It's about boats - specifically our boats, water and people (boaters). Not politics, religion, sex or charity. Emails, calls, and posts are included in this.
Rule 4) You must have a first name, valid email address and location, and Boat Info. You will not be granted access without boat info either describing your aluminum boat in detail or explaining in detail why you need to be here. (You don't need to own one, but explain then why you are part of the forum).
Rule 5) No flaming, we respect opinions but no flames.
Rule 6) If you do offend, apologize (at least for the misunderstanding). Hold no grudges and have no grudge held against you. Whether or not you do is up to you, but we will be marinette owners for a long time. You probably will be on this forum for a while, it's a good neighbor policy.
.
My tolerance for rule enforcement depends upon classiness and following the above.

BTW : Yes, marinettejoe is not responsible for the opinions, content or advice of the site. I am the site owner. Go away if you are not a boater or interested in boats.


------------------------- -----------------------

As forum owner, I have limits for the display name and texts. The forum follows the polite company rule of no coarseness or deeply vulgar topics. I don't care if it's the boats name or your dog's name.

I regret I will ask those who violate this to please change your display name. You will be given a week to do so.

marinettejoe

I will paraphrase from https://www.dmv.virginia...ized_message_create.asp guidelines

I will not approve an application for a personalized name if the requested name contains any combination of characters that in any way carries a connotation which may reasonably be seen by a person viewing the name as:

1. Profane, obscene, or vulgar in nature.
2. Sexually explicit or graphic.
3. Excretory related.
4. Used to describe intimate body parts or genitals.
5. Used to describe drugs, drug culture, or drug use.
6. Used to condone or encourage violence.
7. Used to describe illegal activities or illegal substances.
8. Socially, racially, or ethnically offensive or disparaging.

Rule #1 is Be a class act
- class act
n. Informal

One of distinctive and superior quality. American Heritage dictionary.

A person of particularly high quality to be respected and of honorable character. Lacking crassness, coarseness or undue vulgarity in inappropriate situations.

"A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot..."
— Robert A. Heinlein

How nice to see a quote from "Beyond This Horizon".

These rules are an excellent and necessary basis for maintaining our forum.

However, while politics is not our purpose, I am interested in such issues as alcohol in gasoline that do indeed have a political component, and I particularly value the opinions of those (almost everybody on the forum) who know more about engines than I do. I hope that you will allow a little leeway.

I have learned much from this forum and owning Marinettes would be a much more scary experience without it....

Thanks

Nope, it's a boating safety issue so this is very valid.

Further waterway politics is acceptable as relating to boaters as it issues with water and boating policies of candidates. Discussion of agencies in a meaningful way is acceptable, as long as the class act rule is followed.

Local and national politics related to candidate policies on boat taxes and personal property taxes on boats is acceptable also.

The presidents foreign policies is off topic and therefore not acceptable on this forum. CG policies on regitration of boats is allowed. I also allow limited marinette related advertising as long as helpful informational content is also provided and the privy-lege is not abused.

Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naïve, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as "empty," "meaningless," or "dishonest," and scorn to use them. No matter how "pure" their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best.

Bumped this.
