I've had to lock up several threads as well as give warnings to several members about conduct. I know the boards have been slow as of late, and maybe there is level of stress going on for people on here. However, that is no reason what so ever to cause problems on the boards. I consider myself as one of the more mellow and easy going mods that lurk in the shadows. In that case, I am not downgrading the other mods because I am not nor want my words to be misunderstood that I am bashing the other mods. I think it is time for me to step up the plate and do what I must. I took out two of the rules that are on here and posted it below and in bold letters so it is crystal clear. I don't like having to have members removed from the boards, even if just for couple of days, however, I will if the stituation calls for it. So I am asking that people read the rules below and NOT have to force me to take actions. So in short, play nice and be nice

Thanks.
