You won't see this often..... I agree with Steppy.

That's because you and I have a history of respecting each other's opinions... You know, adults in the room kinda thing.

Do Adults flood basements? lol

That IS a rarity.
Only thing I agree with him about is he is wrong often
lol

Nope... you'd rather dislike me based on my politics only; that's OK, we all have the right to pick our friends.

From my experience threads could be locked for many reasons such as Mod Review, Hopelessly Off Topic, Question Asked and Answered, Bickering, Illegal Topic, etc...

Posts may be removed for language, calling out, inappropriate, poor taste, graphic, offensive, inappropriate links, etc.

Posters banned for blatant and repeated rule violation, spam, advertising, linking to competing sites, lack of decorum, etc...

Many are black and white and just as many are judgement calls...

Also worthy of mention is all of the above by mistake... how many have reported a thread not meaning to or as a mod pressed the wrong key by accident?

That's right and if mods were required to explain every time they intervined,we'd need a bunch more mods. A blacksmithing forum "Iforgeiron"run's a tighter ship than any other I've seen. If I were explaining what is and what isn't alowed,I'd put it like this. Don't say anything you wouldn't say if your mother and your grandkids were in the room. Don't call anything or anyone something you wouldn't call your mother or your grandkids. Links are forbid with rare exceptions and to support your opinion certainly isn't one of those exceptions. It take's getting used to but as time passes,you realize a visit will always turn out relaxing and often rewarding. Whether you decide to try your hand or you have pounded iron for years,I highly reccomend an evening of browsing and I believe you will agree that it's an oasis.
