But then we get banned? How can it be a robust community?

There has to be Rules.

Why not get acquainted and read and make friends and all will be well and you will be posting in a short time.

I know what it is called - FWIW, you are correct! Bear in mind, though, that generalizations lead to profiling and stereotyping - not commonly thought of as good things.

Looks like you have enough posts now! Congrats!

Good Luck to You Painboy


Nice 2380th post!!! I realize that there is an over abundance of scammers, shills, trolls etc. here and something needs to be done to keep them at bay - But I am not one. Your post, stevo1, is an example of how new folks are treated around here.

I simply have and need useful information for folks that participate in the BI section and since I cannot post there and now cannot pm anyone, i have no way to communicate. Bummer.

Actually, I have been reading the boards for sometime and finally decided to start participating at an increased level. Since I don't spend my life here as some seem to do, it will take a while to get 25 posts, nevermind 200.

FWIW, I thought that I had registered sometime ago, but I guess my "registered" date is from the date of my first post, or something like that. I dunno.


Well Paintboy ...If you read my Posting History....You would see that I am not one to Jump Down Peoples Throats!!!....But to just recently Register and then make a Post like the one you did.... seems a Little Premature to me.JMHO Get to know the community!! ....Become Part of it!!! ....Contribute to it!!!....Then make a Post about the Rules!!
It's like I'm on the first day at a New Job and I tell my New Employer that he should change the Employee handbook because I don't like it!! ....You seem to have an Attitude ...Right off the Bat!!
But go ahead and complain to Admin about the Rules if you like. It's Funny that you seem to need to attack me about how I don't have a Life because of the Amount of Posts that I have accumulated over time? This Board would be worthless If people only Lurked and PM'ed....There would be No Info to Share!

I disagree, breaking the Rules here would not result in anything positive. Following the Rules in place is crucial. It's what protects everyone and keeps this message board such a great place.
