The number of times our various moderators keep sending this to the top makes it obvious that they really need to get the message out!
When you think about it, whether you like certain rules or not, it all comes down to practicality. With thousands of posts a day, how could they possibly parse each word, weigh each sentence, ponder the motivations of each poster when they decide which posts can stay and which to delete?
They just don't have the time.
Yes the rules are broad and arbitrary. They have to be. Get over it.
It really is embarrassing to see grown men act like that little brat in Steve's video.

Took me 18 years to get 3 days off. Since I can be a 4th sphincter at times, it is testament to patience. I am slowly learning that the “S&W Forum” is primarily focused on things S&W. Nice weather today eh? Joe

a dialogue
Me, to many Airmen through my 28 years in the 'Force: "Why are you getting out"?
Typical Airman: "I don't like being told what to do."
Me, years later when I'd run into one of those guys: "How'd that work for you"?
Airman: "I should have stayed in. People have been telling me what to do all my life."
Life is easy. Some folks choose to make it hard.

I try my best to comply with forum rules - they're reasonable and one of the reasons the forum is as good as it is. BUT, on more than one occasion I've forgotten which gun forum I'm on, and what's allowed on other forums is not allowed here. It's not at all unusual for moderators on the other forums to post with comments that would result in serious action here. Just have to be careful whose house you're in.

Note that there is a point system and a clear list of consequences. Points expire. It is a very fair system. I don't think that the moderators are happy to ban anyone permanently though repeated offenses will earn you various vacation periods. It keeps nearly everybody that actually wants to be part of this forum in line. I've never seen a more well run forum

I get whacked all the time, and I’m always good for it. Some are totally unintentional, and some I know I’m gonna get whacked eventually. Most of the latter are always a particular sticking point I have with forum rules. I know it, the moderators know it, and some posters know it, and it’s never gonna change. Most of the time I just shut my pie hole, but if I don’t have any unexpired points, sometimes I kinda push it. All good, and every once in a while I misunderestimate it and take a little sabbatical. All good . . .

"I don't know, but some people with out brain's do a lot of posting."

Go here- Concealed Carry & Self Defense and get familiar with the term "Situational Awareness".

It looks like our moderator team
Is braced for repelling boarders.
We have received fair warning.

This is a great forum. I don’t post as often as some because I do respect the rules. Rules are rules so better to obey them. I can post forbidden here topics on other forums that allow such.
Just out of curiosity I have often wondered who does own the forum? It may provide some incite about the rules.

Look at post #63. You have to read the rules to know them. It ain't that hard.

The rules are pretty easy, my question was more about the owners of the Forum.

That would be that nice fella’ that originally posted the rules. When I was in law enforcement, we called such things “clues . . . “

Sometimes on political issues it is a fight between my fingers and my brain.
The fingers are always going to lose, I like it here.
When you get tired of this post, how about going over to the M&P Section and see if you can help me with my EZ9 problem. That will clear your mind.

Methinks the ownership is sensing a disturbance in the Force and is going to all hands on deck.

I've sinned a few times on this forum; mostly unintentional. I'd just like to see some "natural justice"/"right of reply"/"procedural fairness" before being dealt out the punishment. Sometimes there's a legitimate reason or excuse as to why a post or thread might be made. Also, things can be "lost in translation" with the international members (even when English is our first language). An "appeals process" would be nice.
