Recently we have had alot of problems with stereotyping on the forums, whether its racism or sexism, we do not tolerate it. to make this clear I want you to read these following lines and think about them every time you post anything on NFSCars:
We do not care if you are 6 or 60.
We do not care if you are a girl or a boy.
We do not care if you are black or white.
Everyone on this forum is the same, a human being, everyone is here to stay and have fun.
No one will make fun of others by using any advantages or disadvantages against them.
this is 2009, anything is possible nowadays, whether its girls, Chinese people, Iranian people, or grandparents interested in video games and cars.
Anyone else that decides it is alright to insult someone becuase of thier appearance, race or gender will also get the same treatment and your permanent banned won't be removed.
It is a privilege to post and participate at nfscars not a right. Anyone who thinks otherwise will find out the hard way.
This is the best I've read to describe this last backlash

Why, indeed, when it so easy to set up a new forum account or a blog and write things which you would never say aloud? Why?
Because of the illusion that your actions, your words are completely consequence free. I say illusion because it is just that, an illusion, it's false. There are always consequences to our actions, though it may not be ourselves who suffer them.
More than a punch to the head, words do hurt. What you write laughing in your bedroom at 4am about another human being can deeply wound that person.
When a time comes that I find myself writing about another person, I always ask myself a simple question: Would I say that to his/her face? If the answer is yes, I hit publish. If the answer is no, I delete.
I wish I could institute this policy to the web as a whole, but I simply don't have that reach. My hope is that some of you at least will take these words to heart, and like our mother's taught us to think before we talk, please think before you type.
