Hmmmm.

Interesting question. But only in a philosophical sense...not as a means to question the rules. Purely academic.

A great example that points to the "slippery slope" I mentioned earlier. Now you're not only branded a moron for over-spending during the last panic to cover not being prepared but you're now also a jerk because how DARE you not sell your ammo for what someone else paid for theirs in 1979. If someone is selling something for more than someone else is willing to pay it simply won't sell. Simple as that. If someone else is willing to pay what they're asking (regardless of current, past or future market values) then it sells and both parties are happy with the transaction.

I just don't understand where the line is drawn once you go down the path of trying to be the morality police by implementing forum rules that are so arbitrary. To me, this seems like one of those guidelines that need not be fretted over given the fact that it sort of checks itself 99% of the time based on what I said the previous paragraph. If forum staff is already over-taxed why add more work to the roster for something that, from where I'm sitting anyway, doesn't seem to be saving anyone really.

I guess I tend to be more on the side of less (read: not none) oversight is better though so maybe that's just that side of my coming through in this topic. *shrugs*

Regardless of where you fall on that topic there's an awful lot of people on this forum that need a lesson on how to treat others. There has become a LOT of regularly disrespectful members (often completely unprovoked) of this forum who seemingly can't converse like an adult behind the anonymity of a keyboard and are making this forum a rather hostile place to spend any time. The amount of unwarranted and unsolicited personal attacks from a handful of members is running a lot of people off, now and old. Perhaps the forum staff could address that if they're trying to protect members of this site? It seems as though this would be a far better investment of resources if you're trying to make the forum a better place overall.

Yawn....[beatdeadhorse][beatdeadhorse][beatdeadhorse][beatdeadhorse]

Jer, you have complained about personal attacks 2 times last couple days, have you used PM or Report Post for these instances? I see every Reported Post and all the staff is pretty good about reporting info received in PM. I don't remember seeing you report instances of this recently.

Don't come in here bitching about it after the fact if your going to ignore it when it's going on.

Reporting post or PMing issue is how you can get action or accountability. We call it participation. I can't guarantee everyone will be satisfied with the outcome but I can guarantee you lose points with staff handling it like you are now.
