Jokes are fine more so in memes than in type because a meme is generally humor/irony/sarcasm based. Text doesnt always infer the proper attitude or joking manner. So yes the above memes are fine. And No, saying we need to "kill all commies by throwing them from helicopters" is not ok. Confused yet? There has to be some leeway in different forms of expression, that's how today works. We also can't have over the top memes which are racist or hateful in message (or threatening) because they still violate the rules. I don't want to post an example of a meme that goes too far. I imagine most folks can easily identify them. In short, don't break the big 3 rules with an image or with a comment. It's just not worth it. If you think it's close, then it may get reviewed and acted upon. If you think it's probably wrong, then don't risk it. Use common sense. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

He had a history of getting locked, making promises to Site Staff that he would follow the rules, and then completely ignoring those promises.

Then, at some point after being unlocked, he listed his account for sale in the E.E. ... I guess throwing a tantrum made more sense than just logging out, if he didn’t want to post here anymore . He then got locked for that stunt, but was unlocked and was able to continue posting. Then, he decided to try to organize a group buy, even though the site had very clear rules prohibiting that. Given his long record of warnings, bans, locks and broken promises, that ended up being the final straw. |

Quoted: How about Team 2 Spicy Boogaloo? Txl I absolutely get where all of the is coming from. They have to protect the site and such. And, I'm not going to bitch about them doing such a thing. It needs to be shown that we're not just a bunch of people that are just waiting to go hot and rain some hate. But at the same time support what the 2A stands for and what the anti 2A agenda is all about. I obviously enjoy my time here and have been around this place a day or two. And the last thing I want to see is it all to go south. I enjoy the banter, the ribbing, GD being GD, and all things arf. I've met some fantastic people though this place over the years and the last thing I want to see is it being forced to go away or as a tool to damn lawful gun owners. This place is a unimaginable collective of knowledge on a crazy amount of subjects outside of firearms. It's all the reason why I gladly pay to be a member. There is no better dysfunctional family. |

Okay, I think I see how the rules are supposed to work.
Just an FYI, when using the mobile site, edits by mods and/or staff apparently do not appear. (Clarification: the edits appear but have no signature attached, making it impossible to contact the mod or staff involved). I think there was an issue with this previously and I vaguely remember it being fixed. Or maybe thought it was. It might go a long way to fix the issue so as not to present the appearance of shenanigans. The following are screen shots. They are not a bitch, whine, tantrum or other form of wallowing. Simply the only way I know to relay the information. (Crap...wrong button. Wait one, need to upload ) Attached File Attached File The point being, when enforcing the rules I think the best course is one if clear communication. To do otherwise undermines the effort. |

This is technically off limits, but I personally don't have an issue with it. I guess, I would say it's gray until staff decides.
