READ THIS AND HEAR ME WELL

From time to time it just seems like we find ourselves back in this same position.

The following should never need to be said, but here we are having to say it:

THERE WILL BE NO DISCUSSION OF ARMED INSURRECTION/REBELLION OF ANY SORT AGAINST ANY GOVERNMENT ENTITY OF THE FEDERAL UNITED STATES, SPECIFIC STATES, COUNTIES/PARRISH'S, CITIES, TOWNSHIPS, ETC. ON THIS SITE!

ON THIS SITE THERE WILL BE NO DISCUSSION OF WILLFUL DISOBEDIENCE TO ANY LEGALLY ENACTED LAWS - EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER THE LAW(S) TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

These provisions are in place to protect the site, its members and good civil order within our society. Comments of this nature will not be tolerated.

Any violation of these two provisions will be dealt with swiftly. You may consider yourself especially lucky if you only have your post removed and receive a nasty PM from a member of the staff. You can likely expect either a temporary or PERMANENT ban from the site.

If you feel that you simply can't abide by these provisions you are reminded that your participation here is voluntary and a privilege, not a right. I'd also like to remind you that the full Terms & Conditions of this site clearly state that we may provide evidence of illegal acts or threats to appropriate agencies.

It looks like it's time to remind everyone that Colorado AR-15 Forums considers ourselves to be a family friendly site.

While we give a lot of leniency to what we allow, we don't allow anything that is overtly sexual, racist or misogynistic (and absolutely nothing that suggests conducting violence against the government!) - this includes in the images posted in places like the "Funny Pictures" thread.

As a general rule to help guide you to what is and isn't acceptable consider asking yourself this:
Would an average, reasonable person feel this is appropriate to show their grandmother?
Would my content would be considered appropriate for the workplace. In other words, if you were passing this around the office would there be a chance that HR might get involved and disciplinary action take place?

If this question causes you to pause for even a fraction of a second before answering "Yes" then maybe you shouldn't post the image or comment.

Clear enough? I hope so.

Ginsue, out.

[I had a member point out the question I had posed would be better to be replaced with the one you now see.]

After the Aurora Theater shooting we got swamped by news and government outlets looking for anything they could find to use against us and the 2A community at large. Some of us, myself included, were directly quoted from this site in news articles.

While it likely isn't the case for many here, it is a reality for some of us that our association here can and will adversely effect our employment should inappropriate comments or discussions take place. This could also significantly impact the very existence of this site. I know this first hand and without question. For those of you whose interests outside this site couldn't expect to see a negative effect I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Additionally, for those of you who wouldn't mind your mother seeing some of the things that get posted here without embarrassment, I question your values and lack of concern for your fellow members. We've always had an amazing membership group here who takes into account the image they portray for this site and the greater firearms community.

I simply ask that, in threads particularly of the "mass shooting" nature, we think about things bigger than ourselves and show respect to this site, its members and society at large by keeping our posts civil and decent.
