NSRA Members

As long as you've provided a NSRA Membership number, forum moderators will check your membership, then set you to 'NSRA Member' status on the forum, as soon as possible.

Non-Members

When you first register to use the Forum, your Forum 'status' will be set to 'Intro', and you'll only be able to post in the 'Intro' section of the Forum. When you have Introduced yourself, your Intro will be approved by a Forum Moderator, and you will be upgraded to ..

.. a 'New Guest'. This is the start of your 'trial run'. New Guests on the Forum will be entitled to make 100 posts in any of the 'open' areas of the Forum. We think that 100 posts, if used wisely, could last a considerable time, and should easily allow you to seek or give advice, buy or sell an item or two, announce an event, and so on. We hope that during this time you'll discover whether the NSRA is for you, and give some consideration to joining us in the NSRA. After you have made 100 posts on the Forum, your 'trial run' is over, and you will become ..

.. a 'Guest'. Now you will only be able to post in the 'For Sale', 'Wanted', and 'Events' sections. You'll still be able to view all the other 'open' areas of the Forum - but to post in other areas, and play a full part in Forum discussions, you will need to become ..

an NSRA Member. Members can view and post in any of the Forum sections, including those set aside for 'NSRA Members Only'.

Forum Rules

When registering, you must not register under multiple identities, and you must make sure your profile is filled in accurately, including your full name and location.

Please do not use profanities or anywhere on the Forum.

Inappropriate use of the forum such as racism, cannot be tolerated.

Please don't use the message board to discuss items which may be to the detriment of the NSRA. These include items which may contravene DVLA and Trading Standards laws & regulations.

Don't use the message board as a means of complaining. If you have any issues, contact the NSRA committee direct - contact details on the main website.

Other parts of the Forum, such as Sales and Wanteds, have additional rules - please make sure you read them before posting.

Moderators have been appointed to keep an eye on the board in case of misuse.

Failure to comply with the rules may result in deletion from the forum - in accordance with the NSRA Committee's wishes.

NSRA members can add a signature which will appear under all their posts.
Please restrict this to a small amount of text or one small image (otherwise it makes the forum difficult to use)

Spamming

Advertising non-rodding related goods or services (this including ads and external links in signatures) is against forum rules. Perpetration may result in a ban, or if individuals join the forum purely to place unsolicited off-topic adverts or links, then they will be deleted as a user and IP barred. Wherever possible they will be reported to whatever authority deemed appropriate.

I'm a NSRA Member, but the Forum doesn't show me as a Member

If you are an NSRA Member and the forum does not recognise you as such, make sure you have provided your NSRA number in your profile, then send a PM (private message) to a Forum Moderator.

NSRA Member upgrades have to be requested and actioned manually, cross-referencing with NSRA Membership lists when necessary. This won't happen immediately, so please bear with us!
