This board is a work in progress. As such this thread will likely evolve as the forum does.

In order to help members understand how the various items work on this forum you should consult the appropriate section below:
Rules:
There are very few rules on this forum. The admin's dont want to spend their time listening to complaints. We are all adults and should act accordingly. To help we've listed the rules below. Violating these rules may result in action being taken against the member, including but not limited to a full ban.
Please note: These rules are subject to change should members actions warrant it.
Member Ranks:
Each rank is achieved by posting a certain number of times. See the requirements below:
Hidden Sections:
There are various sections of the forum that are hidden by default. The idea was members may not want to see and/or participate in discussions of this nature, and should have to opt-in rather than opt-out. Each section is identified below as well as how one can obtain access to them.
These sections are hidden from users by design:
To obtain access to the Guns and Stuff or the Politics and Religion section:
Access to the Classified section will occur when you hit your 50th post. Selling is a privilege not a right. We do not want users to join simply to sell a post a piece of equipment for sale.
**More to come I'm sure**

Violating these rules may result in action being taken against the member, including but not limited to a full ban.
Please note: These rules are subject to change should members actions warrant it.
- No nudity, full or partial
Images that contain full or partial nudity will be removed. Continually posting images that fall within this category will result in action being taken - Be respectful of all members - We are all adults. Act like it.
We encourage discourse and the posting of differing opinions. Be respectful of others opinions. Unless it violates one of the other rules, being offended by someone else's opinion will not result in action taken against the other user.
If this gives you pause, perhaps membership in this forum is not for you. - Racism will not be tolerated
While differing opinions are encouraged and welcomed, comments of a racial nature will not be tolerated and will lead to action against the offending forum member. - Limit discussion on Politics, Religion, Guns, to those sections or the Shoutbox.
Discussions on these topics in prior forums have been volatile and caused many problems.
To keep this problem from occurring here we have created specific sections for those types of discussions. The sections are opt-in rather than opt-out. This keeps users who dont want to participate/see those discussions from seeing them.
Members wanting to have these types of discussions should refer to the instructions in the Hidden Section - Members will be given multiple warnings before being banned
At this time we have not determine what actions will be taken for multiple violations, but they will be documented here when agreed upon - Do we really need more rules? I hope not!

Hidden Sections:
There are various sections of the forum that are hidden by default. The idea was members may not want to see and/or participate in discussions of this nature, and should have to opt-in rather than opt-out. Each section is identified below as well as how one can obtain access to them.
These sections are hidden from users by design:
- Guns & Stuff:
- Politics and Religion:
- Classifieds
To obtain access to the Guns and Stuff or the Politics and Religion section:
- Click on Profile in the header
- Click Groups
- Click the "Request to Join" associated with the group(s) you want to join
- The leaders of each group will get a notification that you've requested to join that group
- When the leaders approve (doubtful, but not impossible a request will ever be rejected) you will gain access to that section
Access to the Classified section will occur when you hit your 50th post. Selling is a privilege not a right. We do not want users to join simply to sell a post a piece of equipment for sale.
