AR15 BASICS FORUM RULES
This forum is in the technical area, but will have slightly relaxed rules. We want to welcome members who are new to the AR platform and give them a forum to ask questions which might be too basic for the AR General forum. As always, we expect people to be treated with courtesy. If the original post is questionable to you, IM one of the moderators and alert them. DO NOT troll other people's posts who annoy you. You're not doing anyone a favor and will probably get in trouble yourself. If you think someone is out of line use the "REPORT" button and let the mods handle it.As always, don't forget the Four Rules for Handling Firearms.
- NO BASHING OF "N00BS". This forum was specifically established to introduce people to the AR15 and also to AR15.com. Instead of posting wise-cracks, give useful advice.
- READ THE FAQ (In progress)
- USE THE REPORT BUTTON: Be
polite and act like an adult; this is not general discussion. If someone has made a foolish purchase or given foolish advice do not call them names or use profanity. Explain politely what you believe the problem is or contact a moderator or staff member. Similarly, if you think someone is shilling please contact a moderator and let us investigate.
- POST THREADS IN THE CORRECT SECTIONS.
Please do not post threads about new assault weapon laws, movies or other items that are not related to the physical functioning of AR15s. Also don't ask about ammo, optics, and other topics which are covered by their own forum. The mods spend too much time with these distractions, and may lock a thread instead of moving it. IF A THREAD HAS BEEN MOVED, IT MAY NOT LEAVE A POINTER TO ITS NEW LOCATION. Click on the "My Topics" button to see the new location of your post.
- KEEP YOUR COMMENTS ON-TOPIC AND YOUR SMART-ALEC COMMENTS TO YOURSELF. The
technical forums are for technical discussions, and posting stupid comments if you think someone else's comments are not up to your standards are a sure way to get you into trouble. Please do not post funny photoshops, cute pictures or internet "meme" in the technical sections. Please take up discussions about other firearms, such as pistols, shotguns etc being better than an AR15 for some task in the General Firearms section.
- Do NOT make claims or provide expertise regarding items you have no first hand experience with.
- Do not make comments about other members lack of posts or time on the site.
There are very experienced military personnel and law enforcement officers who only post here once in awhile. If you think someone is making false statements about their experience or background please contact a moderator. This has been a problem in the past and will be dealt with.
- If someone appears new or inexperienced, try to be helpful. If you are new or inexperienced in some area please avoid giving advice about something which you are not knowledgeable about.
- Please use thread titles that give some indication what the thread is about.
For example if your new Hellblast light does not work try "Hellblast light broke" vs. "well this sucks" or "what do you think about this" Using generic thread titles will make it less likely that someone who is familiar with light (or whatever) will see thread, also the thread will not show up in SEARCH later when someone else encounters the same problem.
