    Forum Rules

    Profanity
    Profanity will not be tolerated on the boards. Abusive or offensive language, pictures, and/or links to profane or pornographic websites will be moderated. Repeat offenses by a forum member will result in a warning. Continued offenses could result in banning.

    Fighting
    While we encourage open discussion, we don’t want to promote an environment that is intimidating or discouraging to members. There will be disagreements and differences of opinion, but open hostility and fighting with other forum members will not be tolerated. Please remain respectful of other members’ opinions, comments, and questions. Hostility or fighting with other members will result in your posts being moderated. Repeat offenses will result in a warning. Continued offenses could result in banning.

    Staying on Topic
    Please be mindful of the various forum categories before starting a new thread. Place your thread in the appropriate area. Posting in the wrong section will result in your thread being moved to the appropriate area. Also, remain on subject within a thread. Do not “highjack” a thread and change the subject. New ideas and topics warrant creating a new thread.

    Dated Threads
    Refrain from replying to dated threads that are no longer relevant. Please start a new thread.

    Non-Financial Topics
    Open and free discussion is encouraged on the boards. Feel free to discuss topics and subjects not directly related to finances. It is asked, however, that any non-financial topics be placed in the “Everything Else” section of the forum.

    Moderation of Threads
    Please be respectful of the decisions made by the site moderators. Hostility toward one of the site moderators due to one of your posts being moved, edited, or deleted will not be tolerated. Should you have any questions concerning one of your posts, feel free to send a private message or email to one of the Moderators or Administrators.

    Spamming
    Spamming the boards with short nonsensical responses will not be tolerated. You will be banned for this action.

    Links
    Feel free to post links to other sites once you reach the required minimum post count so long as the links are on topic and are not self-promoting. Unauthorized links will be removed.

    Signatures
    Signatures should be a maximum of 4 single spaced lines. Do not bold any of the text in your signature. Do not place links in your signature to any profane or pornographic sites. You may have a link in your signature to your own site or to your social media profile. If your signature is in violation of forum rules the Moderators will edit it. If you have any questions please ask.

    I did as you suggest above but never got a read receipt let alone a response. Within a couple minutes of having my thread locked, I contacted the Administrator who locked it. I felt that my thread was being trolled and shouldn't have been locked. The thread was a one stop shop for political discussion and now it is closed. Instead, we have several political threads that have discussions that don't always match up with the original topic. Just seems silly to me.

    A couple of weeks ago I saw a member vent his anger in a thread because of lack of consistency. My first thought was he is going about this wrong by posting his grievance on the board instead of doing so behind the scenes. Now I am wondering if he first tried to handle it according to the rules but like myself never got a response?

      I never saw a PM from you. Did you try to contact me? I wasn't the one that locked the thread. I'm assuming that you tried to contact James?
