U2F2 Event Announcements

We, the admins of U2F2, need to address an issue that has been starting to make repeated appearances at various U2F2 events throughout this year, specifically: -revving engines -making excessive noise -and generally being irresponsible with vehicles. Meets such as the bonfires or the potlucks are not the time OR the place for that. They are not designated as a car meets. Even outside of U2F2, in the local car communities, the reputable car meets around have also made rules against the same issues we are starting to see at our events. We do enjoy seeing all the unique cars that attend these particular U2F2 events, and we know that many of them do have a lot of customizations. Particularly with the monthly "bonfire" meets, we want to make it clear that we hold these meets far up in the canyon specifically so we all can get away for the evening, enjoy each other’s company, relax, and listen to the sounds of nature around us. We also need to be respectful of everyone else staying at the campgrounds around us. Attendees at the other sites are there likely for the exact same reason, to have a peaceful evening, and they should not have their experience disrupted because of our group. Section 3.3 of our communities Rules & Guidelines states, "As members of U2F2, individuals are expected to represent the group and the broader furry community positively. Whether on social media or at events, members should conduct themselves respectfully toward the general public, event venues, business owners, and others to promote a welcoming and respectful image of the community." We ask the community to take some time and review the communities Rules & Guidelines found on our website utahfurs.org. This is also about protecting our ability to continue using this site. We want U2F2 to be able to return here month after month and year after year. We have heard many from our community express that they really enjoy this new site. If U2F2 develops a reputation for being loud or disruptive, we risk losing the privilege of coming back, as well as reputation preceding us and losing places to host one of the biggest events we hold throughout the year. So, with that said, Please do not rev your engines and intentionally make unnecessary noise. Having fun is absolutely encouraged, but there is a time and place for revving engines and making noise, and this isn't it. Let's not ruin a good thing for everyone. -The U2F2 admins
