S.T.O.R.M.

[Maverick]

Please take a moment to review our rules. These may seem harsh compared to a lot of the other airsoft websites on the internet, but these rules have kept us from descending to the barely-controlled chaos that plagues the aforementioned sites. If you have any questions about these, feel free to message me on the forums, and I'd be happy to help. There might be other forum-specific rules located in individual forums, so please keep an eye out for them and review them as well! Thanks!

1: The Golden Rule - If you don't have anything constructive to say about a question someone asks, then stay out of it. Do NOT insult people in the forums publicly, even if you know them. Insulting administrators and moderators is even worse.

2: No "Yes Man" posting is allowed - If it has already been said, then it doesn't need said again, the exception to this rule being one concerning with votes or polls.

3: Isthisguncoolisthisguncoolisthisguncool? - A LOT of stuff has been covered previously in these forums(or elsewhere), and most of that more than once. The only time you should really ask a question is if it has not been answered before. If you're lazy and don't at least attempt to look, it makes it look like you are out for a quick fix of information, almost like a junkie would look for his fix. Whereas if you look up a bit of information yourself and ask informed questions, you look like someone who has put effort into a post, and wishes to further their knowledge about a topic. So who are you? A scholar or a junkie?

4: English Mothertrucker! Do you speak it?? - PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY! USE PROPER GRAMMAR! Spelling and Punctuation go hand in hand, and this rule applies to both.

5: MPD/DID - This means you are not permitted to have more than one account. It should be fairly obvious as to why, but I will further explain: There are very few reasons that have more than one account, and most of them entail trying to circumvent punishment due to violations of the rules. Don't do it, or you'll get banned (ALL of the accounts you have)

6: 9-1-1 - The forum "report" feature is used ONLY in the case of extremely profane posts. There has been a rash of people using the "report" feature to report threads they simply don't agree with. The report feature was designed to notify moderators of posts that were a threat to forum integrity, not for you to complain about an opinion that doesn't line up with your own.

7: Opinion Posts - These were forbidden once, and they now are again. Why you may wonder? Because "What is a good X" is not a clear enough question. If you are interested in the data pertaining to a particular item, form your question and type it, such as "how does the velocity of x rifle compare to x rifle", etc etc etc.

Forbidden posts - These types of posts are forbidden for various reasons, some start flame wars, others are trollish by nature. You needn't know the reason to respect the rule.
-Political posts
-Religious posts
