Welcome to the Ryobi Tool Talk forum!
Here you can talk about all things Ryobi tools and get trustworthy advice from industry experts and experienced users alike. Because we want this forum to be a place where users feel respected, we ask all members to read and follow these rules:
1. Treat Others Kindly
We consider harassment to be any unnecessary aggressive or mean behavior toward others. Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, personal attacks (especially those based on race, gender, or religion), threatening language, and mean-spirited jokes. Basically, we want you to choose kindness all the time.
2. Use Polite Language
Just because we're discussing things online doesn't mean that it's okay to use rude language toward others or in general. The forum is open to people of all ages and from all walks of life, so it's important to use inoffensive, kid-friendly language at all times.
3. Stay On Topic
Please remember that the Ryobi Tool Talk forum is about the tools—it's not about general tools or politics, relationships, or how horrible the last session of Game of Thrones was. Needless to say, any form of spam, such as unsolicited or repetitive messages, will be deleted right away.
4. Be Helpful
Great things can happen when people come together online to help one another. A few minutes of your time can save someone on the other side of the world several hours or even days of frustration and desperation. Therefore, we ask all members of our community to be as helpful as they can be. For example, don't just say, "Thx guys, but it's cool now. I've found a solution." Instead, share the solution with the rest of the community so that others can benefit from it as well.
5. Search Before You Post
Before posting your question, we kindly ask you to take a moment to search the forum. There's a good chance that your inquiry has already been addressed in previous discussions. By checking first, you can find quick answers and contribute to a more organized and efficient community. Thank you for helping us keep the forum informative and helpful for everyone!
6. Don't Post Illegal Content
We kindly ask all users to refrain from posting illegal content on the forum. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing copyrighted material without permission, promoting or discussing illegal drugs, or engaging in any form of hate speech or harassment. Such activities not only violate our community guidelines but can also have serious legal consequences. Let's work together to maintain a safe and respectful environment for everyone! Thank you for your understanding.
7. Don't Spam or Advertise
We kindly ask all users to refrain from posting advertisements or spam in our community. Such content disrupts the experience for everyone and will not be tolerated. Please note that any spam will be deleted immediately without question, and persistent offenders may receive warnings or face a permanent ban. Thank you for helping us maintain a positive and engaging environment for all!
8. Don't Share Personal Information
For your safety and privacy, we kindly ask that you refrain from posting any personal information in this space. This includes details such as your full name, home address, phone number, email address, or financial information. Sharing such information can put you at risk, and we want to ensure a secure environment for everyone. Thank you for your understanding!
9. Report Issues
Whenever you experience a technical issue, encounter a violation of our rules, or have any other problem, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our moderators. They will do whatever they can to assist you and resolve the issue as quickly and completely as humanly possible (people need to take breaks sometimes!).
We ask that you please use the flag icon when reporting inappropriate posts; this will notify the moderators to review the post.
10. Respect Moderators
We believe in freedom of expression, so we try to run the Ryobi Tool Talk forum as hands-off as possible when it comes to moderation. Of course, we also need to take action when rules are violated to keep the community safe, respectful, and enjoyable. That's why our moderators always have the last word when it comes to conflict resolution, as well as the ability to remove posts, impose bans, and more.
Please know these rules can be changed at anytime as the moderators address any issues.
By participating in this forum, you agree to the rules above and to our general terms of service. Failure to abide by the rules may result in disciplinary action.
Thank you for being part of our community!
