Rules are rules

[oldbike54]

 Just a fair warning since some of you are having a hard time remembering the rules here .

 The next person who decides to challenge the *no political discussion* rule will be looking at a temporary ban , followed by a permanent ban if the offense is repeated . Think before you post . This isn't open for debate , this is Luap's rule , you agreed to it when you joined .

You know Dusty, I'll try, but sometimes I'm unaware of how much the current PC culture has changed 

We're not "PC", here.  Far from it.  We just don't want bullshit.

Dusty is much nicer about this than I am. Guaranteed, I'm dropping the ban hammer next time someone gets sideways with political shit on this forum.  There are many, many places to go play, if that's what a person is looking for on the web.  Go comment stories in FoxNews.com.  Go join ADVrider.com and jump into the CS&M section of the basement, there.  There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of websites where a person can get their political appetite sated.  WildGuzzi is not one of them.

"Why not just delete the few opposing comments"?

Here's why:

• Offending comment(s) get deleted
• Offending commenter posts "why was my comment about such and such deleted?"
• New conversation about the offending comments doubles
• Offending comment(s) get deleted
• Repeat
• Nothing at all is gained and there is zero value to the board because of this

Now you know why I much prefer to remove the whole thread. There really is no winning with some of you. No winning at all. I've busted my hump on this free resource for 21 years. Read that...21 years I've kept this thing going for you all, at no mandated cost whatsoever. The only thing I ask in return is to have fun, talk motorcycles, drop a dime every now and then and keep it clean.  That's really not too much to ask, is it?

I do have to admit, constant nagging and reminding of rules is growing very tiresome...to all of us. In a perfect world, our moderators should be bored to tears. They should never have to warn anyone. The rules are clear. They're written in English. There are no spelling mistakes. There are not confusing words in them. They're right there when everyone signs up. Everyone here has agreed to them. It's really quite simple.

 Trimmed this down , not because we don't appreciate the support, more to keep the message undiluted . Whether or not you don't personally like me, or any of the other mods/admins is not really relevant . This is very simple , respect the rules that Luap has set in place , we will never ever have an issue if we all do so .

 Now , carry on , rally season is here , even if we are starting off kinda wet
