#1 does putting something like"BS" count as cussing??
NO.
#2 what forums cant we talk about??
Well one of them is on the censored word list so if you find a string of asteriks replacing your name or link to a forum you've found that one. I can't post it here any more than you could. That one will take care of itself so to speak.
The other is Accurate Reloading. The ONLY reason I say this is because there are a bunch of guys there who were booted from here who can't seem to let go and just keep on keeping on sayin the most vile and dispicable things about me personally and this site. At the same time they just keep on trying to get back to read and post on this site they say they hate so badly. If you just gotta comment on it please just use AR and let it go at that. I have nothing against the site owner but that group of trouble makers sure are a nice bunch. :roll:
#3 no slamming other posters, i got to know does that mean i cant tell someone there an idiot for using a rifle to shoot squirrels in trees, or drinking 12 packs of beer at the range??
Yes actually it does. Now you can tell them such acts are not so very smart and reflect badly on all of us. If someone persists in making such comments chances are they will be history here soon enough. But it isn't acceptable to sink to their level thru name calling or personal attacks. Just let me and the Moderators deal with such folks. Even if they are idiots please don't call them that. :lol:
i can see no big old fights, but we should be able to tell someone they are being dumb if they are??
Yeah I kinda agree with that. But do so in a nice way. OK to say something like, "Wow, to me that seems kinda dumb" and follow up with why. It is NOT OK to say, "man you are one dumb cookie, that's the stupiest thing I've ever heard". One is correcting what you see as stupid or dangerous practice. The other is a personal attack.
and are we able to talk about the mods we have done to our guns here???
Guess I have no real problem with that. Just understand up front that the management of this site DOES NOT condone any unsafe practices or modifications. Please make sure you use some kinda such caveat in your post to make it clear this is your modification and while you consider it safe in your gun it might or might not be in others and that GBO in no way endorses this modification. Neither you nor I have any control over how someone else does the mod to their gun. How they do it might make it unsafe even if it is perfectly safe in yours.
For the most part all I ask of folks visiting here is to use common sense and to be nice. Keep it clean enough so the wife and kids won't be offended and yeah that includes the wife and kids of folks in Christian homes. Or Muslim, Bhuddist, etc.
The really bad cuss words that are just absolutely not acceptable here under any circumstances have been added to the automatic censor list. Not a lot of them really but they are just not acceptable in mixed company like this. If you see a group of asteriks come up understand you just tried to use one. Leave the asteriks in place. Don't try to be creative in getting around them. That will get you and me crossways with each other. If it posts, chances are it isn't a word that will get me too upset at the use of it. If it generally fits into the category called "cuss words" or cursing then you know that it does. As adults we should be able to talk without the use of such but at times their use as "spice" or for emphasis isn't too objectionable. Just be sure any that fit that category are used ONLY as spice and not as a continual major part of the discussion.
If you have more questions ask. As I said for the most part it is just plain old fashioned common sense and propriety we are looking for here.
