You guys remember Melbo? Member of GIM1 & 2? I'm sure some of you remember the guy. Well he started his own forum (survival monkey) a good while back. It's a pretty big forum now and does have some rules. Here's two:
1. No personal attacks or insults. No posts whose intent is to inflame or otherwise provoke anger from another member (Flaming). We don’t mind if you disagree with another member of the board, we just ask that you keep it civil. We understand that in the heat of the moment we all get a little hot. Just try to remember that there is a good possibility somebody’s kid is going to be watching over their parent’s shoulder. We’re adults here so let’s try and act like it.
2. No posting of racial, sexual, political or religious slurs. Civil debate on these issues is accepted. Malicious comments on or about them is not.
This includes using slurs in your username, title, avatar, and signature line. We are visited by people from different countries, race, religion, males, and females; The staff members reserve the right to edit the above items and remove a members ability to edit them should they refuse to do so when asked.
Have you ever been to survival boards? Here's a couple of their rules:
2. We expect our members to treat each other respectfully on SurvivalistBoards.com. Although ideas and opinions may be challenged, name-calling, personal attacks, or other inappropriate behavior will not be allowed and may cause your account to be banned. Harassment is not tolerated in this community.
- 2b. Civility is mandatory and expected. This includes discussions between members but also applies to public or political figures.
- 2c. Trolling behavior is not allowed on SurvivalistBoards.com. This includes deliberately posting inflammatory, irrelevant, or highly offensive comments to disrupt the community or harass another member.
3. Discriminatory remarks of any sort will not be tolerated. This includes degrading or offensive comments about an individual or group based on race, color, ethnicity, sex, sexuality, age, nationality, religious affiliation, or any other basis.

Not putting anyone down. But no matter where you go there are rules we all have to abide by. Really not a big deal. You're in someone's home, business or forum it's their rules. Your home, business or forum - it's your rules.
Now just for a laugh:
Has anyone used or frequent that site? If so have you seen what's going on there? I have never seen such nasty things on any other website yet. Though I'm sure there are worse sites out there which of course I don't use. I'm just curious because its a site on precious metals with a politics...
