I haven't been around here much in the last year or so, but this site has seriously gone downhill since I remember it.
Members act like whining little children (mostly new members in all honesty) , mods who don't seem to do shit about it (maybe new site migration keeping them busy) , and lack of respect.
Example. I am selling some Mags on the PE. All these swinging dicks come up, shitting in the thread. I have never been on a forum, ANYWHERE, where this is tolerated. Its usually a bannable offense. Without getting into an economics 101 lesson, If you dont like the price, then don't buy, its that simple. There is no reason to complain in the person thread. How would you like it if I went into every vendor I didn't like or a user I didn't like and complain about there price? Is there some magic ratio of retail/wholesale/used/ebay/gunbroker prices that all of a sudden makes it acceptable to shit in peoples threads. This is already a guideline in the rules:
#2 - Don't crap on a person's sale ad. In short this means that anything that might take away from a person's ad should not be posted. Don't tell about how you got yours for $100 less, don't mention that the one you had died after 2 months, don't tell people you "think" their Leupold is a fake because you saw a thread 3 years ago on another site about it and remember that they all should have a gold medallion and don't make lowball offers on the thread.....whatever it is just keep it to yourself or send them a pm. PM's are great for asking a seller a question, making an offer, telling them it might be a clone/fake, etc. PM's are also a great way to save yourself from the public embarrassment of being an ass.
This is ignoring the fact that most of the posts already break Rule:
1.Exercise common sense and be considerate toward your fellow users. Diversity of opinion and intelligent civil discourse is encouraged; by the same token, Personal attacks, rudeness, flaming, baiting, insults to others, or arguments will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Any member who threatens anyone on the forum, via PM, instant messengers, or Email, will be banned immediately without notice.
The fact that so called conservitives and Freedom loving Americans who are all about the free markets and capitalism, until it costs them money, is sickening. Some people need to grow up, open a book and learn a little history and economics along the way.
