It was very much needed.
what he said.
as an aside, will my sig line be considered promoting another forum? Not the intent and I hope that is not case.
Gosh [I said a bad word], I can’t talk about Bob and Frank anymore. [;)] Needs to be repeated every so often. [for us all]
congrats Chief - I see you now have exactly a miles worth of posts. [:D]
When we reply “Hobby Lobby has a coupon” or I purchase mail order at ___________ , does that violate the policy?

Sorry if a couple of my recent posts on some threads were offensive. That wasn’t my intention. I think the partisan feelings/loyalty some have to certain manufacturers and types of trains, along with some threads that were obvious “trolling” to stir up some controversy, also helped add to the fire. I’ve already added a censor to my two index fingers (hehe) to make sure I don’t step in the poop again.
Peace on Earth and on the forum. Well…at least on the forum [:D] [tup]

Maybe my posting about Model Builder Software is the problem|??? But it is an awsome modeling tool.[#oops] I just did it again. I just want to share the neat stuff that can be done with it. If this is indeed the problem then I will stop.
CSXect - From my way of thinking you are not selling the product but sharing useful information with fellow model railroaders. If however you were the creator or author of the software that would be a violation of the policy.

Can we still badmouth GRITS, and those south of the Mason Dixon, otherwise known as REBS. I think its still OK because us YANKS won the war. But if a REB says anything bad about us YANKS, well thats another story. Got to censor those.[:D]
I agree, needs to be repeated from time to time.
I think it in response to umpteenth post blatently promoting Yahoo Groups Super-O forum, FasTrack Forum, Scrambled Egg Forum, etc, etc.
Seems like an every couple of week event where the three O-Gauge Forums will all be spammed with the exact same cut and paste message about FasTrack is the track system of the new millenium and Super-O Track has made a comeback and blah, blah, blah. Personally, I found these posts an annoyance and their intent transparent.
But then again, the boys north of the Mason Dixon line have dubbed me an undesirable hooligan as well . . .
Seems to me that the rules are both straightforward and logical.
pbj----The yanks did NOT win the war…the rebs just stopped fighting!
The South will rise again!

Oops, politics again?

Bergie,
Thanks for posting the guidelines. The reminder is appreciated.
Boy am I glad we cleared up the posting guidelines. I post here because it is for trains and I train my dogs often. Dogs are so much better than cats. Why the blankety blankety blank would anyone want *&^#$%^ cats anyway. Have you seen my Cat blog at www.catsareterrible.com. Many like minded follks are there all discussing how bad dogs (oops I ment cats) are. It is so much better with much more training information than this train forum where the are talking about toys! Buy the way GEORGE BUSH AND REPUBLICANS rule! Or is it the DEMOCRATS? Now I remember…only the Libertarians have a reasonable party platform. Don’t you agree?
PLEASE respond if you are familiar with the new religion worshiping Dogs over cats. What is it with $%$## cats anyway? Please respond with your agreement otherwise I will know you are a jerk!
P.S. Don’t forget to pet your dog and check out my blog at www.catsareterrible.com. And please checkout my ebay listing selling dog train items at ebay.dogtrain.com or call 1-800-dogsrule to get on my mailing list or buy all my useless stuff.
Just kidding! Jim H
There was no single reason for posting this listing, and it should now be up on all forums. Just a lot of little problems kept cropping up, which suggested it would be good for Erik to post the guidelines in each forum area as a reminder.
Good! It needed saying because it’s the politeness, helpfulness and kindness evident by the posts and responses of the long term majority that keep this forum the best by far IMHO.
