Rules? We ain't got no stinking: rules! We got LAWS! We just ain't got no policemen.
Are you from Russia? Male or female? I only ask because of your avatar.
I don't think I am allowed to answer that question. I think it is both off topic AND not airgun related. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to determine exactly what IS AG related and what IS on topic. Selective enforcement of the rules is very confusing. That happened at GTA before it's demise as well.
I totally agree with that but the guy behind the curtain owns the house so he gets to make the rules.
Don't ask. Don't tell. Got it.
Actually it is simply what happens when a site gets too big to be managed by the owner.
The owner brings in "volunteers" to enforce "rules". The volunteers, being human and part of the "in crowd", wether deliberately or accidentally enforce the rules based more upon how they feel... and who they like than the actual rules.
You end up with selective enforcement, cliques, and favoritism... But life is easier for the "man behind the curtain" so...
Money flows in. Industry influences take over. All is great.
Then one day one of the "volunteers" does something incredibly stupid and membership collapses to only the ruling clique ... The user base migrates somewhere else and the process begins again.
Meh, you know what they say, "Not my circus, not my monkey."
Happened on the "yellow", happened on "GTA", once the clique takes over and you are no longer allowed to freely complain, it is all down hill from there.
The process seems to take about seven or eight years.
Now watch this post.
