Nearly all of us are adults here. I would think it should suffice we are adults if able to login. And once a login has been made, that SOME of the word filter(s) could be bypassed. Or perhaps given an option to bypass them (in the options)? I don't even know if this is feasible, I'm not a software guy.What would you guys like changed about the word filter?
I think off topic means off topic of guns. We should be able to talk about anything, besides bad stuff. Like threats or such. If we want to talk about a deserter in the army, let us! Cause this AINT Ifish I hope.......
Most strong communites, orginizations, groups ect have learned that usually before you can stand and fight together you must fight with one and another. Most siblings argue and fight, most husbands and wifes scuffle. Most bosses and employees disagree ect ect ect .
I like the idea of an area where anything can be discussed. I think we lost some very interesting members due to the things being discussed in this thread and the reason I don't join them is the very reason they left here {Too many Rules}.I agreed and disagreed with many of them but find the site as a whole alot less interesting since they left or just quit participating, and hope the trend will be changed.

This.
Didn't a former member start his own website because of what is being discussed here?
You do realize that works both ways.......YES, and since that happened NWFA has been a comfortable place for serious and not so serious discussion, DISCUSSION! Just the way it should be. Sad thing is some of those members were a valuable asset here, and it's a shame they left....or not? There was too much "My exact way of thinking or your not worth a thing to us" attitude.

Rules are rules, we all agreed to them when we joined this site. If you want to have a more open section that is ok with me, but the main body of this site doesnt need politics or religion or any of the other stuff that the members who left here wanted to promoteI just want to give everyone an update on this, I'm still mulling over our options here. If we change this, it will be a major change in my philosophy, but this post made a lot of sense to me.
A question for everyone. Say we were to make a private section, with far fewer restrictions, and a 100 post minimum, would it be acceptable to be strict with the rules elsewhere on the site?

I just want to come here and talk firearms. Maybe even buy or sell a few. That's it. No politics, no religion. Just firearms and the 2A. Add a few videos or range reports and I'm good. I don't see any other reason to be a member of a firearms forum. I also don't believe in social media garbage and I prefer voice over text. And I'm not even 40 so I guess I'm old beyond my years.
Don't see how that would work exactly. Say someone posts a new thread in General Firearm Discussion about how they have a California compliant AR that they want to convert back to normal operation (does that ever happen?) and in the heading it spells Kalifornia with a K.
After a legit answer or two about conversion the usual remarks about Feinstein being a Commie who needs to be converted ensue.
Would you have it shut down at the start for spelling it with a "K" or wait till the remarks get personal between two members or what?
Should the thread poster not have used a "K" or should he not have talked about a sensitive subject as a Cali compliant AR? Almost every thread could turn political at the drop of a hat so do they get moved to private section as soon as this happens or does the one who turns it political get warned or banned?
What do you mean by 100 post rules BTW?
I think max limits on posting threads would be good. In the past some members, who I miss having around, tended to dominate the forum. This I think would have solved a lot of problems you seem be worried about. I didn't think it was broke BTW, just needed some minor adjustments on the mods side and the posters end.
I don't think "rules" are the problem, It's a lack of consistency with thread hammers/mod(s). Mods are on here everyday with lots of conversations and just one "checks in" and closes a bunch of them. I have had ads deleted, threads deleted and modified without warning or explanation. I have PM'd some if not all the mods over my short time here and have gotten professional courteous replies from all but the infamous one, (Deadeye) He never did as much as a F/U. The mods who replied did not remove/modify my posts.
Maybe this is the exclusive job of his to close threads and we're ignorant to this, I figured it was something all of you guys do.
I do like the idea of a pro 1A "Private section".
Deadeye, speak up here M8! I have ZERO issues with you. I actually had a different Mod call me out on a rifle I had for sale but after a quick Convo he deleted the whole thing. Much appreciated. I know Deadeye also cleaned up a thread I was involved in after it went way beyond firearms and ended up in the hatred bin, Good clean work. From both of the Mods. Stand up brother. I'll stand with you.
