Five rules. They exist so this stays something you can share with your family, and so it stays legal.
- 01These are runs, not racesCruises, meets and social drives. Any post promoting street racing, speed contests or timed runs is removed and the account is disabled. No exceptions, no warnings.
- 02Traffic laws apply the whole routeSpeed limits, lane discipline, no blocking intersections, no rolling roadblocks. If you cannot make the next stop legally, you arrive late. That is fine.
- 03Respect the stopsMost stops are somebody's parking lot, plaza or business. No burnouts, no revving in residential areas, no leaving trash. We lose venues this way and they do not come back.
- 04Keep the wall usefulThe wall answers questions about the run: where, when, is it still on, who is coming from your side of the island. Not a marketplace, not a group chat.
- 05Report anything offEvery comment, event and profile has a report action. Reports go to a person, not a queue nobody reads. If something looks like it will get someone hurt or arrested, report it.
What happens when you report something
It goes to the admins — the people who run LaRuta — and lands in a queue they read daily. No report is closed automatically and nothing is scored: a person reads every one. The wall, the chat and the name of a new community do block anything that reads as organizing a race before anybody sees it, and that filter is the only automatic part.
What we do about it
A comment or run that breaks the rules is removed. An account promoting racing is disabled, which is rule one and is not a warning. Most reports are neither — somebody flagged something they disliked — and those are closed with nothing done.
What you hear back
Nothing individually. If the content is removed you will see it gone; if it stays, a person read it and disagreed. Reporting is anonymous — whoever you reported is never told who reported them.
If somebody is in danger
Call 911 first, report second. We are a small team reading a queue once a day, not an emergency service, and we would rather be the slower of the two things you did.
