Upon written request, FTC will disable your account. In an effort to safeguard user’s accounts, we may require validation of the request to disable the account. For accounts with no posts, the account can be completely deleted from the system. For accounts with posts, FTC will disable the account; however, FTC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may choose to not remove posts attributed to the account. FTC will evaluate each request to remove posts on an individual basis. As a way of description and not of limitation, some of the factors used in evaluation whether to remove a user’s posts are: the number of posts, the length of any posts, the potential impact on the forum and/or thread continuity, the age of posts, the age of the account, etc. Generally, a user is banned as a result of a request to disable. Upon request, FTC may, at its sole and absolute discretion, reinstate a previously disabled account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, FTC reserves the right to retain information about disabled accounts, which may include user information, in an effort to curb and/or combat illicit activity and to aid in civil and criminal legal matters.

Moderators are an important part of FTC. Moderators are established members who have exhibited a knowledge and adherence to the forum rules and attempt to keep FTC civil and spam free. However, Moderators do not work for or represent FTC, or its parent company. Moderators words and actions are their own. Any concerns over Moderator action, or inaction, should be reported to the administrator: webmaster@fordtruckclub.net.
