So I'm pretty much confused. Been a member here for 4,5 months and have under 100 posts. Why in the fuck if I post something is it denied by rules? Seriously! I thought I would get a bit more freedom of speech since we all approve of our constitutional rights. especially freedom of speech? If I don't comply to some keyboard commando moderator he says she says crap., am I any less knowledgeable because I don't have 1,000 posts??? Just asking...!
Care to provide an example of your posting being denied?

Give an example of what you're talking about.
Are you selling something ?
Just trying to post something in general ?

It's pretty simple from any standpoint you look at it. The rules are simple here. The moderating is pretty loose too. You think it's tight, go try out some of the other shooting forums. They would have bounced you for this post five minutes after it posted. After four or five months of being on the site, you should know the very simple list of rules. I highly doubt your post got axed because of your post count. Then again it's easier to cry foul if you don't reveal actual fact. Someone might publicly call you on it.
BTW, moderation happens via private message. Mods don't like to air laundry. It's not because the matter is some secret conspiracy behind the curtain. It's because it's the polite thing to do. This actually makes moderation harder. It puts the weight of civility on our shoulders. Your need to make this public post reflects equally.

I was asked. I never volunteered, and was hesitant to accept at first. Quite frankly, I preferred to respond to threads and posts like this from a position of no authority and free of the burden of leading by example.
I had to rewrite both of my last two posts multiple times.

I think I found it. If I am wrong let me know. I do hope you understand that I am about to post up what you said and after I do the members are going to have a field day with it. In the WTS section you posted in an ad.
More info is need tho! see them all day on gun broker from $800. For an item that was for sale for $1200
If this is incorrect let me know. I realy do not like doing this but it seems that many of the newer members seem to think there "rights" are being stepped on.
This is a private board. Freedom of speech..... Ah yes. Once again this is just like someones living room. You have all the freedom you want but if you are in my house and say something like "I want to screw your wife".....I might have a little issue. [Flower]
And ones post count has nothing to do with anything. Many here can attest to that.

What the hell is up with the newbs lately pooing on sale posts? If you see such a good price on gunbroker than go the f@ck there and leave us alone.

yep its true . no special treatment at all . trust me it does not matter what you do here, in or for the shooting community .....i should leave it at that before i get in trouble . the last thing i want is another pee pee slap PM .

That's right.
If you want to make an offer use a PM, don't pollute the WTS thread with your opinion.
Oh, read the rules, the rules are stickied for a reason, they ain't wallpaper.

You should feel lucky. I moderate at another firearms forum where we give a week's vacation for meddling in a for sale thread, no exceptions.

cool factor has a lot to do with how much beer you bring to the mods and what kind of mags and accessories you send to the top 10 post count people. once you appease them, all your troubles will go away.

But there are special qualities that a mod needs to possess and guess who doesn't seem to possess them?

They are only considered "qualities" on the internet. In the real world they are considered weaknesses.
I guess though, for some, the title of "moderator" could fill some sort of void. Just saying........

We don't have a Mod on this site that has a heavy 'Ban' hand, we just do what the Boss asks, pretty simple really. Others won't agree, but they are a small (very small) group, just saying..

No, I disagree. Knowing a LOT of people on this site in person and comparing it to their actions and posts, I would have to say you are completely incorrect. You get what you see here in personality in real life for the most part. Those that have shown their quality here are the same that show quality in person too.

You could always start your own forum and lure us all over there to talk. Do you have candy?

I think a hint of masochistic tendencies are required.
