Community rules & privacy

Posting cars and modifications

Share cars you own or have permission to feature. Credit the owner, photographer and workshop as agreed. Use the model, generation, body style, state and fitment details where relevant. Keep private addresses, phone numbers, identification documents and other people’s personal details out of public posts.

Describe your own experience accurately. Respect other members, including people asking their first technical question. Harassment, impersonation, scams, spam and stolen or counterfeit listings can be removed.

Parts, services and sponsorship

Use the right board and disclose any business connection. Include the part’s condition, compatibility, AUD price, service area or pickup and postage arrangements. Mark parts sold and requests found. Members arrange deals directly. V8only does not hold payments or inspect vehicles or parts.

Workshops can post a service listing. Paid placements carry a Sponsored label. Confirm that an installer and customer agree before identifying either in a build thread.

Accounts and privacy

Posts, build photos and public profiles can be seen by visitors and search engines. Sign-in supplies an account identifier and account details. The forum uses a stable identifier for permissions, authorship and abuse controls. Your public display name can be managed in your account.

Direct messages are shared with the other participant. A message you report can be reviewed by authorised staff handling that report. Support requests include the reply email and details you choose to send. YouTube handles playback when you open an embedded video.

Use your account for member controls or contact the owner about correction, removal or privacy. For an image you own, include the thread link, identify the photograph and explain your request.

Visitor measurement

First-party measurement records activity on eligible public pages, including the page, referral source or tagged club link, device category, and actions such as a reply or first listing enquiry. Our hosting network estimates the country of your internet connection at the start of each session. The forum stores only the country code for location reporting. A random browser identifier helps estimate readers for up to 90 days. A session expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. Aggregate counts can differ from the number of individual people.

Analytics excludes message text, email addresses, raw IP addresses, full referrer URLs and private search terms. Identifiable event and session records are limited to a 90-day measurement window. The forum honours Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. You can also change your preference on this device below.

Reports and appeals

Use Report on the relevant thread, reply, message or profile. Blocking a member stops private contact. Moderators can restrict an account, hide content or restore it after review. Use the contact form to report a scam, request a photo removal or appeal a moderation decision. Include the relevant V8only link.
