These are the rules. Read them, and please abide by them.
1.) The Golden Rule - Your mother always told you, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." If you're going to disagree with someone's post be constructive. Do not insult other members publicly, even if you know them in person.
2.)Refrain from "Yes Man" posting - There's no need to repeat something that has already been said. If you must repeat, expand upon what has already been said.
3.) Be specific and research your question - A LOT of stuff has been covered previously in these forums(or elsewhere), and most of that more than once. The only time you should really ask a question is if it has not been answered before. If you're lazy and don't at least attempt to look, it makes it look like you are out for a quick fix of information. If you've looked into the question, it shows and a well researched, well thought out answer is more likely to give you a well thought out answer.
4.) Spelling and Grammar - Spelling and grammar are two peas in a pod. Please attempt to use proper spelling and grammar. This is not a chat room or instant message. You have plenty of time to think about what you are going to say. Do not use "net speak".
5.) Multiple Accounts - Multiple accounts are not allowed. The only reason people have multiple accounts are to avoid punishment for breaking rules, or to troll. If you are found to have multiple accounts ALL of your accounts will be banned.
6.) General Opinion Posts - Everyone has a different opinion, "What is a good X" is not a clear enough question. If you are interested in the data pertaining to a particular item, form your question and type it, such as "how does the velocity of x rifle compare to x rifle", etc etc etc. This does not mean you cannot PROVIDE an opinion when it makes sense to do so, you just cannot start a thread soliciting general opinions.
7.)Forbidden Posts - There are two things you don't talk about with friends. Religion and Politics. This stuff goes downhill fast.
8.)Double Posting - Please try and use the edit button rather than make a second post.
9.) Signatures and Avatars - Please keep signatures to a size of no more than 500px x 100px (500 px width, 100 px height). Please keep avatars no larger than 100px x 100px. Signatures must be under 300kb in size, and avatars under 75kb in size. Additionally, no flashing, or animated signatures allowed.
