Welcome to the Roadtrek CyberRally

The Roadtrek CyberRally is a group email service provided for its members by the Roadtrek International Chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA).The CyberRally is open to all Roadtrek International members.

The CyberRally functions very simply. E-mail sent to the service by individual members is usually posted within minutes [NOTE: TEXT TYPE FILES (txt,pdf,docx) AND IMAGES/PHOTOS MAY BE ATTACHED].

CyberRally members may choose to receive 1 of 6 message options (see the subscription section when logged into rti.groups.io). By default, members will receive Individual e-mail messages when posted or a Digest (Plain or Rich Formatting). A Daily Summary is another option.

Email Messages may be limited or stopped by you at any time. Just choose Special Notices Only or No Email. All choices can be accessed in the Subscription section in your RTI.Group.io page or email the Moderators for help.

Directions on how to use the message service are emailed to new members as soon as the member’s name and pertinent information have been added to the CyberRally database.

I. CyberRally Objectives

The objectives of the Roadtrek CyberRally are to give members a forum to:

1.	Discuss Roadtreks and Roadtrekking. This includes such items as (but not limited to): driving, parking, navigation, cooking, camping, and tools for communication; storage, entertainment modes, improvements in sleeping; travel routings, destinations and places to stay; Roadtrek modifications, accessories, and problems, etc.
2.	Share Roadtrek lifestyles, including activities that enhance the enjoyable use of our motorhomes.
3.	Make new Roadtrek friends.
4.	Promote Roadtrek Rallies.
5.	Promote the Roadtrek International Chapter, its services and activities.

II. CyberRally Etiquette

In order for the service to accommodate these objectives, those who send emails (posters) must adhere to the following:

1.	Posting content must be relevant to the objectives of the CyberRally.
2.	Posting of announcements or discussions pertaining to “formal” Roadtrek Regional or Chapter Rallies is permissible. Registrations for “formal” or Chapter rallies shall not be accepted via the CyberRally until at least one week after the registration forms and information have appeared in the Roadtrek Newsletter. Announcements of informal or “spur of the moment” rallies, get-togethers, etc. are permitted and encouraged.
3.	Non-Roadtrek related products and/or services shall not be “advertised” on the CyberRally. Roadtrek related products or services may be “advertised” on the CyberRally (approval required by the Moderator Committee). The Moderator Committee shall be the sole judge of whether a product is Roadtrek related or not and what constitutes “advertising” and of the text, form, etc. of the advertising. Paid advertising from commercial establishments, however, is not permitted on the CyberRally.
4.	Misleading or inaccurate information should not be posted. Political views, causes, or campaigns may not be posted. Jokes are not allowed due to someone misinterpreting the intent.
5.	Information relative to Internet or virus problems must not be posted, but rather directed to the Moderator Committee for appropriate action.
6.	Attacks on another person, company, or country, etc., are not allowed.
7.	Personally offensive, derogatory or abusive language is not permitted; excessive negativism is not appropriate.
8.	It is highly recommended that postings include a subject that reflects the (main) content of the posting.
9.	It is suggested that postings include your name, city, state/province, make, model and year of your Roadtrek. This additional information may be very helpful.
10.	Follow-up postings and replies on subjects loosely related to Roadtreks and Roadtrekking may be better communicated in private email rather than in CyberRally postings. Items of special interest to a number of members may be continued on the CyberRally but should be considerate of others. Using both of these practices is encouraged.
