Public forums allow people to express their opinions, whether it be negative or positive, as long as it's within the forum rules.Take your own advice and if you see something you don't want to read, don't read it.

I consider myself a forum veteran. Not on this forum but I have been a very active member of numerous other forums. I use to moderate 5 forums at one time. 3 Ford Lightning forums, a Nitrous discussion forum and an iPhone forum. I'm still a mod on 1 of the truck forums, the nitrous forum and a Global Moderator on the iPhone forum. With that being said, I have plenty of experience dealing with crafty people trying to advertise their products on peoples forums, for personal and financial gain, without paying any vendor fees to the site owners. These people are warned and then banned if they repeat the offense. If they continue to advertise their product or their site, it's considered SPAMMING and they are permanently banned. This is the only site I have been a member of where the forum staff doesn't do anything about blatant SPAMMING.

I do enjoy the content and discussions here. But if you're asking me not to call people out on their SPAMMING, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do that.

those that are trying to pick a fight if you or me don't agree with whateverneed to go else where we have had a good forum here for years.

I peronally and only speaking for myself think that is an awful bold statement you just posted...

And as far as I know you have not be appointed any type of authority on this particular board.

Unless you know something as fact I do not think you should react on your personal speculation. Specualtion has always lead people down tough roads. When you do know something for FACT - then report it to the proper people - you are not the forum cop.

I personally know two of your specualtions to be false.

If you want to address your speculations - then do it with the PM system that is one of its uses.

Sorry everyone...

Thank-you sabotloader. It needed to be said.

Additionally, lately people have been taking more offense to statements. I've been on here since '04 and it we used to just pick on Frontier Gander AKA MountainDevil54 for shooting girly bullets with skirts but he knows, and we knew that it was all in good fun and no one got upset. Now if you bring up a bullet it nearly starts a war. Sabotloader and I don't agree on XTPs. It's fine. When someone asks about them, he gives his findings, I give mine and there are no hard feelings. We don't call each other idiots for expressing our opinons.

People just need to calm down a bit.

Make a point and move on - don't look for scabs to pick so they never heal.

No one appointed me the "forum cop" and I never said they did. And thanks for the reminder but I already know I don't have any "special authority" on this forum. If I see something that I consider suspect, I report it. Just as everyone on this forum should report something they think isn't appropriate.But apparently the mods on this forum don't care about people spamming. That's their prerogative.

As for knowing something as "FACT"... How much more obvious does it need to be for you??? Someone joins this site and their very first post isto advertisea certain product... And then, starts posting how great said product is without any real world testing... And then, continuously posts links, ads, special deals, pictures with propaganda in them, etc, about said product. All of which is the definition of SPAMMING. And Ipost repliesaddressing the above mentioned posts... How is that speculation??? I'm not assuming anything, I'm merely commenting (aka: stating my opinion) on the posts presented to me when I log on this forum. Again, how obvious does it need to be before you can see this for what it is. SPAM! And as far as speculation goes, how speculatory is it to make claims of how great a certain bullet is when no game has been taken with it??? Maybe someone else should get the facts before posting.....

As far as two of my "speculations" being false, I'll grant your request and send you a PM because I am curious to see what you're referring to....
