I'm new and your 50-post rule sucks! Please change it for my convenience.

This thread is full of win! Printcrafts flame suit almost killed me. it took me 5 minutes to stop laughing long enough to tell the wife what was so funny. The racism rants are incredibly unbeleivable. Jackasses!

I'm a newby myself, I think it's a great sight, lots of good information on guns, reloading, not just buying and selling, having the classified is just a good bonus.

Pffft. Everyone saw it coming except him.

I don't get the sense of entitlement that people have. And then to start complaining about the people that run the site? That's not going to score you any points. I consider that to be a personal attack, which is a violation of Rule 1.

I gave him three chances to explain his accusations and he got smart with me instead. What are ya gonna do?

Scutter, gonna have to send you a 21 pound bag of ice over for that one, you gave him plenty of time while having to swing that hammer around for way too long.

Hope your elbow is not too inflamed.

Banning is never the first option. But 99.9% of the time, the reason you got banned is because you can't act like a grown-up. All of our rules can be easily condensed down to one: "Don't be a jerk." Why would we want you back once you've been banned? That said, it doesn't have to be permanent either.

There have been a very small percentage of banned members, however, who took a step back and said "Wait a minute, maybe I need to rethink my stance" and actually opened a dialogue with the staff and were eventually allowed to return. I have respect for these people. I have no respect for trolls.

This dude could have just put down the shovel...but NOOOOOO!

You drive a beer truck and you're sending ICE?! Lame.

(Purplized for the sensitive reader.)

Just a thought, take it FWIW, IANAL, YMMV, MSRP, ETC....

So, people don't like the "50 post rule?" I suggest that it's (conditionally) done away with! That's right, in spite of the fact that INGO is privately owned and maintained, consideration ought to be given to the complaints of others in this regard.

So, with that said, here's the deal: don't like the 50 post rule? Go ahead and complain about it and see what happens. "Boom!" (maybe that should be a "Bang!" or may be "Pow!" ...or "Wap! ...idunno, I'll let more thoughtful people make that call). Anyway, complain about the 50 post rule and you've just lost that option. Now, if you want access to the classified, you'll need to become a sight supporter, even if you can craft 100+ quality posts (with fine Corinthian leather, of course). Done.

Don't like it? Complain to one of the mods ...once ...perhaps twice (if they're having a good day) before feeling the outside of the door on your backside.

Seriously, what is the percentage of complainers who truly have experienced an attitude adjustment by an INGO mod over this issue? Maybe the mods are much more patient, kind, and benevolent than I over this but, really, it's like a stranger coming into another person's house and complaining about everything. Really? There's the door, it works both ways ...come again when you can't stay so long!

Well, there's that, and that whole job search thingy... I know, messed up priorities. What's a guy to do?

Oh, did I forget to mention that inside that 21 pound bag is a 40 oz'er gonna make ya dig to get it and cool off that elbow @ the same time.

Am I a homie? I'll just go drink OJ in the corner

You are too young for an ounce!

You are too young for an ounce!

This reminds me when they were talking about the ACE tactical bottle opener and I said I wanted one. Slyvain said I was to young and I countered with what about coke in a bottle?

 

[Hiker1911]

The site encourages people that are sincerely interested in making this site better than ever, and discourages people that only want to dump undesireable gear (that they no longer want) on unsuspecting, nice people! As for impatient people? Meh.

I think Scutters needs a group hug. That got pretty bloody, With all the ban hammering and all.

Admit it Scutter!! You used top secret stealth technology to hack into his webcam. Plus right now you are watching at least 20 ingo members without their knowledge. And people thought I was paranoid for not getting a laptop with a webcam. And quit following my movements with those darn spy satellites!!

I wonder how many are subscribed to this thread. There could be a way for me to see that but learning how would require another trip to the FAQ's.

It has all the qualities of a great read every time a post is put up. I'm not saying it has the zaniness of "Bragging Rights" but it has that 50 Post Rule specificity that keeps it on track and IMO, one of the most enjoyable threads on INGO.

I almost feel guilty while anticipating the next goofball that wants to argue the rule.

It must be akin to a spider hanging out on the edge of the web, concealed and hungry, waiting for the next fly to become entangled.

Is that bad?

I kinda feel that it is, but I can't help it.
