    I found a forum specifc to a particular firearm and it's variations. I posted a thread there titled "Reassembly totally sucked"

    I got warned about inappropriate language!

    All ya'll that are unhappy with Saxon Pig just be glad he doesn't have the same stick u no where that the mod on that other forum does.




    The fact that they warned you "Totally Sucked".

    Anyone who complains about the rules being too strict here is invited to go join thehighroad.org and smith-wessonforum.com as both are interesting and informative and will also give you a new perspective of strict moderating.

    On THR no politics PERIOD. Not even a candidate endorsement in your signature. Also no discussion that is not gun related. NONE. Any name-calling or insults towards another member and you are instantly GONE. I argued with a member in private messaging and was warned about a descriptive term I used. Almost the same on the S-W forum and several others I have visited.

    GB is very loosely governed compared to almost all other gun forums and some of the members at those other places often mention GB and how they avoid it because it's not moderated strictly enough.

    It's all a matter of perspective.

    of course, there are other members of other gun forums who avoid GB forums because of what they perceive as heavy handed moderating

    Anybody here on the Sigforum? Pretty racey over there. Haven't been on it much but haven't seen anything censured yet.

    ... and there are a TON of former members who are also 'elsewhere' for the same reason.

    Seriously, I think the way new (perspective) members are ripped by our resident psychotics is the number one reason few stay more than 5 - 20 posts and many of those drop off in a week/month, or two.

    Since I am many places, I don't give a rip!

    You mean that there would be no one allowed to call someone idiot, douche bag, moron, accuse him of talking out of his a$$ or make death threats without being tossed? How can you run a forum like that? Is there some specific reason that such a policy does not exist around here?

    I say again.... What is more pathetic than a man who has bought into his own perceived importance? [:(]

    Funny thing, I thought I had registered at 1911forum and I went there for another question and I can't log it. It let me register as henry0reilly so I looked further and found there is also a forum for the "m1911" - talk about your redundancy.

    Imagine the horor of a policy like that. How can you have a forum without the members being allowed to insult each other while porcine proctors take no action?

    practicing moral speech and proper social ettiquette... is bad?
    isnt it the other way around?
    arent people with trash mouth suppose to bring their standards UP and meet the level of those who are maintaining proper social ettiquette and proper social behaviour?
    since when does practicing vulgarity and trash talk in open forum considered acceptable?[:I]
    those that continue to push for lower standards, will continue to push until they have everyone their equal...unless those who are still the moral majority in america push back and force ignorant and unsharpened people to push upwards for better standards. correction is good. people that ignore correction are called fools in the bible.

    and always remember.....filth talk and cursing is just one more reason......why they bombed us. if you want to help the men and women fighting for america, give them something worth defending. make america the example setters in the world again. stop giving the rag heads a reason to want to kill satan in america. sad day indeed when other countries practice clean and shameless standards and better morals than us.[:(]

    time for self check.

    You probably got warned because "Reassembly" has "ass" in it.

    All in all, the rules are irrelevant. What matter's is the type of people the owner of a forum wants around and the amount of traffic the owner desires through the forum. So S&W forum moderators are a bunch of annal retards. How much traffic do you think they get?

    We have a much lower level of moderator here...for the most part. [:o)]

    If moderators here want to stifle traffic, rule with a heavy hand. It's that simple.

    If moderators want more traffic or a "different" kind of people hanging around here, bring on the porn!
