The Electrical Rebuilder's Association website is a communication tool for our members to share information, ideas and opinions relating to our industry. We encourage all members to participate and share their views. However, a few rules are needed to keep the site professional and maintain a setting that is conducive to constructive participation from all members.

Please read the Terms of Use for ElectricalRebuilders.Org before you begin using the website.

Profanity, references to drug use, sexually explicit material, racist or sexist remarks are not permitted anywhere on the website (including private messages)
Negative & Personal attacks directed towards other members/non-members or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated (including private messages and e-mail)
Forum posts or replies containing specific price information are not permitted, with the exception of items listed on the For Sale Forum. Private messaging or personal emails should be used when sharing all other price information.
Forum replies that do not add anything constructive to the topic or have been made for personal amusement are not permitted. Such off topic replies directed toward a specific individual should be done using private messaging.
The Off Topic Forum has been provided for all discussion that does not fit into any of the other forums. Please keep off topic comments on the forum that has been set up for it. Any reply that does not make a contribution to a specific thread should be posted to the Off Topic Forum, not the original thread.
Each post may be posted only once. Do not post the same message twice in the same forum, or in more than one forum.
Forum moderators may delete duplicate posts, move posts that have been placed in the wrong forum, edit posts to improve readability without changing content, or remove any post that is inappropriate.
The above terms and conditions are in addition to the END USER AGREEMENT linked to at the bottom of each page. Use of the ElectricalRebuilders.org site constitutes an acceptance of the terms and rules contained therein.
Any violation of these rules will be subject to removal of the inappropriate Post by the ERA Webmaster.
The ERA retains the right to modify or amend these rules at any time.

Why have these rules?

These site rules were written by the ERA website committee and approved by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of maintaining a high level of professionalism. The purpose behind the first two rules should be obvious.

The purpose behind the pricing rule was to prevent our forums from evolving into an online auction or getting our association and members in trouble with the Federal Trade Commission in respect to federal anti-trust laws against price-fixing. One click instant messaging or private email should be used to exchange price information.

The Off Topic Forum is provided for those who want to discuss the weather, sports or life in general with the friends they've made on the website. Restricting these conversations to the Off Topic Forum will help us preserve our server space for technical and parts messages that might prove useful to someone 12 months from now. For the Off Topic Forum to serve its purpose, we need to use it for all conversation that does not fit into one of the other forums. Please note that the Off Topic Forum is not exempt from the rules. Please use common courtesy at all times.
