Forum rules — plain and simple

Keep it useful and keep it civil. No resident names, addresses, or photos of anyone's home. No spam and no sales pitches in the discussion forums — there is a Buy, Sell & Trade board for gear. Argue the standard all you want; do not argue with each other. The admin can pin, lock, or remove threads that break these rules.

These rules are short on purpose. Most boards drown new members in ten pages of legalese nobody reads; the whole law here fits in one paragraph: be useful, be civil, protect residents' privacy, and keep the selling on the trade board. If the board grows the way I hope, the rules will get tested — spam always finds a new forum eventually. Anything in the rules that is unclear or missing — what would you add before this board gets busy?
