RC Crash Crew works because it is a real community, not an anonymous free-for-all. These guidelines explain what is and is not okay here, and what happens when something is not.
What is not okay, anywhere on the site
Harassment, bullying, and threats. Targeting another member with repeated unwanted contact, insults, intimidation, or threats of any kind.
Hate content. Attacks on someone based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or similar.
Doxxing. Posting another member's real name, address, phone number, workplace, or other private identifying information without their consent — including piecing it together from clues across multiple posts.
Sexual content, or content involving minors. Not permitted anywhere on the site, in any form, no exceptions.
Graphic content. Crash and injury reports are a normal, valued part of this hobby (that is what the Crash Bay is for) — but content posted specifically to shock, or genuinely graphic real-injury imagery beyond what is needed to document a repair, will be removed.
Scams and fraud. Fake listings, bait-and-switch pricing, fraudulent Group Buys, and any attempt to deceive another member out of money or goods.
Stolen or counterfeit goods. Selling or advertising stolen RC equipment or counterfeit merchandise. See our Marketplace Rules for the full detail.
Spam and unwanted commercial promotion. Repeated unsolicited advertising outside of a proper Marketplace listing, business page, or Storefront.
Impersonation. Pretending to be another member, a moderator, a manufacturer, or RC Crash Crew staff.
Dangerous instructions. Content whose purpose is to help someone build something unsafe or illegal, as opposed to genuine hobby troubleshooting (see our RC Safety & Liability page for the line we draw around batteries, fuel, and flight).
Illegal activity. Anything that breaks the law in your location.
Ban evasion. Creating a new account to get around a suspension or ban.
AI-generated spam. Using AI tools to mass-generate low-effort posts, reviews, or listings.
RC Crash Crew may remove content even when it is not illegal
Something does not have to break the law for us to remove it. If it makes the community worse — low-effort spam, bad-faith arguments, content that is technically legal but clearly not what this site is for — a moderator can act on it.
Reporting
Every piece of content on the site has a report option that goes straight to our Reports Triage queue, reviewed by moderators and admins.
Moderation actions
Depending on severity, a moderator may hide a single piece of content, issue a warning, temporarily suspend an account, or permanently ban it. Warnings carry weight — a member who accumulates enough warning points loses moderation privileges of their own (if they had any) and, at a high enough point total, is automatically suspended pending admin review.
Appeals
If you believe a moderation action was made in error, contact us through our Contact page with the details and an admin will review it. We do not promise to reverse every decision, but every appeal gets a real second look from a human.
Business owners and organizers
If you run a claimed business listing, a Storefront, or organize events/Group Buys, you are held to the same guidelines as every other member — plus the extra responsibilities laid out in our Business Listings & Shop Claims Policy, Group Buy Terms, and Events, Races & Competition Policy.
