No War Eagles For You!
Staff member
While free and open debate are core tenants of this forum, there are rules that will be followed. Treat this forum as you would your home, that is the basis for our rules. Those who decide to walk in the living room here and pee in the potted plant in the corner will be dealt with in like manner. Censorship is not part of the game here- those who feel they have a point to make will be allowed to defend it. If a member gets out of hand, he/she will be given a special place to act foolish.

Additionally, this forum is as fun as you make it. The use of satire and sophmoric humor can be offensive to thin skinned individuals, and both are employed liberally at times on this forum. While we take the subject matter seriously, there is a time for taffy pulling. Also, there are no "Sacred Cows" here. The truth can be brutal sometimes - don't expect turds to be sugar coated so they taste better. If you ask for opinions, you will get them, just be prepared for them.

If you feel the direction of the forum is not to your taste, feel free to speak to "Gawd" or "Säten", whichever you feel would best suit your particular problem. Both of these gentlemen have different styles of Admin justice.

The Moderators on this forum have been chosen for each section based on thier ability to help members with the subject matter. It is a Moderators job to help you with your issues and give information on the subject of the forum they Moderate. Please feel free to ask any of the Moderators for help by PM or in the forum. Many of these Gentlemen are well versed in the subject matter of the forum.

The following is taken from Gunboards.com (with slight modification):



[FONT=&quot]Rules[/FONT]





1)No Wanted To Buy (WTB) Wanted To Sell (WTS) Or Wanted To Trade (WTT) Ads Are Allowed. Use the Trader for such postings.

2) No flames or personal attacks will be tolerated. Posts that either attack or flame will be deleted and the IP of the poster noted. If it is noticed that one poster is causing problems this poster will be banned from posting for one week. Second offense results in the loss of posting rights for good.

3) You do not have to register but if you wish to post you must be a member.

4) Please do not use foul language. If the use of foul language is noticed the entire posting will be deleted. KEEP IT CLEAN!

5)Do not create multiple accounts with false handles or nicknames. This is noted when it happens and is frowned upon. Plus, it makes you look like an idiot.

6) Do not post ongoing auctions. You may post when auctions are completed but no mention or promoting of auction items is allowed. Feel free to contact a Moderator by PM or email to discuss an ongoing auction. These Moderators have been picked for thier willingness to help the newer collectors. (*note- posting of photos from ongoning auctions is allowed, but no links to live auctions or auction numbers. This differs from Gunboards official policy).

7) Treat others with the same respect as you expect to have others treat you with. This is the golden rule and will be enforced.

8) Stay on topic. This is not a sound off board for your views on life, politics, or the like. We talk about guns and related items here so stay on target. For gun control issues or the like try The Off topic boards.

9) If you break the rules you will be given an infraction which is noted in the system and could lead to your being banned or suspended.

10) Spammers will be treated harshly, so if you are a regular member and turn into one, remember that. There is no account recovery for Spammers. Report all Spammers to the appropriate Mods.

11) We support small business- feel free to put a link to your gun related business in your signature line.


The infraction systems noted in #9 is used here as well. The normal member has 0 points. As you act up, Moderators and Admins can give you additional points which can affect your ability to participate in this forum. Points given to you will remain for the appointed period, usually 30 days. A member who accrues 30 points will lose posting privileges for 1 month.

Please enjoy the forum. It is meant as a tool for research and a place to have a good time, all possible with proper etiquette.

Mike and Bruce
