This is not a new phenomenon. Reference Hobie's post from a "couple" years back.Forum rules
Welcome to the Leverguns.Com General Discussions Forum. This is a high-class place so act respectable. We discuss most anything here other than politics... politely.
Please post political post in the new Politics forum.

Unfortunately there are some people who forget - this forum was started by people who hold a certain world view and who rightly expect those they have allowed into their virtual living room to respect that world view and adhere to its principles while in that virtual living room. Not too hard of a goal to live up to, for those who value the camaraderie and opportunity to learn from others and to share what one knows with others.
It is best if people self police and remember the long established forum rules. There have been a couple of changes to posting which may be a slight inconvenience so some but un-noticed by most. If you want to act out and post things you should not on this forum (feel free to act as you wish in other places, we're not saying you can't), be aware that your ability to erase and cover your behind has been seriously curtailed. This is due to the abuse of the house rules by a minority who do not wish to be civil to all while on these premises. We do our best to do so, even though some make it difficult. If you simply can't be polite even to those with whom you disagree, please refrain from posting. There's enough madness going on in the world without Leverguns Community contributing to it.
I wish to recognize publicly our moderation staff. They do a great job of keeping this a SPAM free place and one in particular has been vilified for not living up to some people's expectations, because they have NO idea of the "stuff" he's put up with in back channel communications nor are they aware of the "stuff" he's hauled out.
Anyway, this is more than long enough. If you're not willing for your comments/content/etc to be visible to all indefinitely, please refrain from posting. If there is a serious error then please contact an Administrator for assisting in correcting it. There will be no more posting then erasing of content to attempt to hide one's contempt for the Leverguns Community and its long established rules of behavior. If you really simply can't be decent to others, this is not the forum for you.
I thank God that 99.9% (give or take) of our regular posters behave as gentlemen should, respecting the house rules. Thank you to all who help to make this place a great place to hang one's @.
