Carlective Community Guidelines

Building a trusted community for automotive enthusiasts

Effective Date: 01/08/2026

Welcome to Carlective

Carlective is more than a platform for storing vehicle information. It is a community built around automotive passion, ownership stories, creativity, knowledge sharing, and meaningful connections.

Whether you own a classic, performance car, daily driver, modified build, project car, electric vehicle, or simply appreciate automotive culture, Carlective exists to bring enthusiasts together.

A great automotive community is built on trust and respect. These Community Guidelines explain the behaviours we encourage and the standards expected from everyone who joins Carlective. By using Carlective, you agree to follow these guidelines.

1. Our Community Values

Carlective is built around five core principles:

Passion

We celebrate genuine enthusiasm for all types of vehicles. Every vehicle has a story, whether it is a rare collector car, a carefully modified build, or a first car someone saved years to own.

Respect

Respect other members, their opinions, their vehicles, and their experiences. Automotive culture is diverse. Different people enjoy different cars, styles, brands, and approaches to ownership.

Authenticity

Be genuine. Share real experiences, accurate information, and honest opinions.

Knowledge Sharing

Carlective encourages members to learn from one another. Share advice, maintenance knowledge, ownership experiences, and automotive discoveries.

Trust

Trust is the foundation of the community.

Be transparent, fair, and responsible when interacting with other members.

2. Celebrating All Vehicles

Carlective welcomes enthusiasts from all areas of automotive culture. This includes:

• Performance cars.

• Classic vehicles.

• Supercars.

• Modified cars.

• Track-inspired builds.

• Electric vehicles.

• Motorcycles where supported.

• Everyday vehicles with personal meaning.

• Unique or unusual vehicles.

A vehicle does not need to be expensive, rare, or prestigious to be appreciated. The story behind a vehicle matters.

3. Vehicle Profiles & Digital Garages

Your Digital Garage represents your automotive journey. When creating vehicle profiles: Please:

• Provide accurate information.

• Share genuine photographs.

• Be honest about modifications and history.

• Respect previous owners and builders.

• Credit others where appropriate.

Do not:

• Create fake vehicle histories.

• Claim ownership of vehicles you do not own.

• Misrepresent modifications.

• Upload misleading documentation.

• Present opinions as verified facts.

Carlective is built on authenticity.

4. Respectful Discussions

Automotive communities thrive on debate, but discussions should remain respectful. You are encouraged to:

• Share opinions.

• Discuss different brands and models.

• Debate automotive trends.

• Exchange knowledge.

However, avoid:

• Personal attacks.

• Insults.

• Harassment.

• Aggressive arguments.

• Gatekeeping.

Examples of unacceptable behaviour:

“Anyone who drives that car knows nothing about cars.”

“That build is terrible because you don’t understand cars.”

Healthy disagreement is welcome. Disrespect is not.

5. No Elitism or Gatekeeping

Carlective is not about proving who has the most expensive vehicle or the biggest collection. Do not:

• Judge members based on their vehicle value.

• Exclude people because they own a different brand.

• Mock beginner enthusiasts.

• Treat ownership status as a measure of someone’s passion.

A person with a first car can be just as passionate as a collector with a garage full of vehicles.

6. Honest Reviews & Feedback

Reviews, ratings, and feedback help build trust. When leaving feedback: Do:

• Be truthful.

• Be fair.

• Explain your experience.

• Provide constructive comments.

Do not:

• Create fake reviews.

• Leave reviews to manipulate reputation.

• Attack people personally.

• Use reviews for revenge.

Feedback should help improve the community.
