Thanks to the Moderators for not " throwing a flag" on every post

Yup. The problem with rules is you have to enforce them equally for everyone. The catch is the "equally for everyone" part. In my probably too many years I have never seen it happen. Throw in some crochety old warrior with an attitude and you get ... yeah, you get a place where favorites are treated like favorites, where cliques rule, and where friends of the mods are not required to comply.

Michael does a pretty good job of letting the "Accuracy" poll sort things out and it seems to work.

Thank you, Michael.

What color is that forum?

It would still be up if you posted it in the off topic section.

Let's just say coward and I'm sure the color will fill in

Michael and Mod2 are fair and do a great job
Why shoot they even let a scary pirate lookimg dude roam around.... of course the guy does post some darn good informative topics too so I guess a pass is deserved
Thanks Michael and thanks Joe I almost ripped my gut laughing

Good job of making Joe's point. Nudge, nudge, wink! wink! The problem with rules .... Here the moderators would just move it, sometimes without any comment at all. That is the difference between managing a forum and ruling a forum. We have management.

I got what Joe was saying. I'd also guess that Joe prolly knew his post would be taken down on the yellow.

I can attest to Joe Wayne Rhea's generosity and commitment to the airgun community. I offered to purchase the scopes he showed in a video as being defective. I wanted them to use as tools to learn. I offered Joe what I thought was a fair amount for the items. He refused my offer and came back with one LOWER! Of course I couldn't say no. He then sent me confirmation that they shipped and in the picture it showed what he had paid for shipping. He paid more to ship than what he asked I pay him in total for the scopes. I quickly offered to cover the difference but nope he wasn't having it. I cant describe how rare it is to find someone this genuine and willing to help others. Any time I see a members name that I've come to trust on a thread I read it whether I'm really interested or not just to view their knowledge or opinion on the subject. It offends me that the other forum (I saw the posts before they were removed and didn't understand why) censors legit proven members posts. If its not a direct attack on someone I see no need to remove any posts but to remove a post from someone that was thanking a fellow airgunner for their generosity is insane imo. It's like they don't want others to know who the great guys in the community are. Ive learned a lot from reading the forums and couldn't begin to repay the wealth of knowledge shared with me. Keep up the great work Joe, you've actually got me looking at springers again because of what you and a couple others have shown. The fact the other forum removes posts on a daily basis should say something. Remember the old saying "attitude reflects management"? Fits in all aspects of life it seems. I thought the forums were about sharing but when someone aggressively decide what's shared, we all miss out on important opportunities to learn. Shame on them. 
Justin. 


Oh and if someone could point me to an English forum so I can learn where to put commas and start new paragraphs I'm sure everyone would thank you lol!

Yeah Joe...you got me spending bucks on a springer...thought that I had enough spring air guns.

I agree AGN is the best and most forgiving when we stray from the rules just a wee bit? We are all uplifted by your airgunning spirit Joe and your love for us in your videos. I just hope it doesn't uplift me enough to buy one of those FWB 300 's . Hell, I can't even pronounce Feinwerkbau much less spell it? LOL

Best danged airgun forum bar none!!!!

Peace and Feinwerkbau grease
Fuss

LOL, gee someone dinged me for accuracy on this post. Must have hit too close to home... I wonder who it could have been.

I've been thinking on this and I have absolutely no clue what forum he put his post on. What makes you think it was on the forum you mentioned? I doubt that it was, actually. But whatever, I live here, and I'm not leaving till I am evicted.
