You should all know that if you "slip up" on a language violation that does not mean that you will instantly and automatically get booted off the forum and into Ex-Member status.

You will get your post edited and you will get some language infraction points and often a PM from a Moderator telling you why you were edited and what is/was not acceptable for DefensiveCarry.

You may also get sent back through the Forum Rules Page to reread and agree to the DC rules again.

Just accept it and move on.

Usually it is what happens AFTER a member gets edited that gets the member banned.

That happens because members get verbally abusive, ignorant, and all bent out of shape.

Argumentative, nasty, baiting replies to a moderator and defiantly cussing out a moderator in Private Mail plus yelling about your Free Speech Rights will get you a quick one way ticket off the forum.

You ARE permitted to respectfully disagree with a moderator decision and then the moderator will have your reply reviewed in the Private Staff area.

Also:
Please count to 10 and Think before you state that you don't want to be a member here anymore because that wish is always instantly granted and you will not even be able to get back on to read threads and posts. If you don't want to be here then we don't want you here.

Banning is permanent.

If something or some topic or some other member gets you really ticked off here and really "pushes your buttons" then just stay away for a few days and cool down and then come back.

Simply go visit another forum for a while.
One that has no enforced rules of conduct.
Have your posts and opinions demeaned and belittled.
Let everybody tell you that you don't know what the heck you're talking about.
Get mad and upset then swear back at them all in retaliation.
Be personally attacked & then attack them all back and when you finally do get "fed up" with all of the blatent ignorance - come back here...you'll appreciate us more & you'll appreciate the polite respect that you get here.


Don't try to do a show-stopping dramatic grand exit by making the mistake of thinking that we actually care if you go or not.
We will just be amazingly unimpressed.
