Can't find the list of topics that are not permitted to be discussed in this forum. Recently, Rockpick has Locked 2 threads in which myself and several members of the forum were exchanging ideas and views about major issues we face now in our society. We're trying to figure out what prompted the thread to get locked. So, before any other member or myself open a new thread in order to continue with the exchange of views and ideas, would there be someone kind enough to point out the rules and or regulations that may be used against us to justify awarding the boot?
On a serious note, though, I was also looking for something about the Rules/Regulations of posting certain things after the Dodge flip threads were locked. Is anything like this available?
I have had a similar discussion with the administrator via private message. Private messages are just that - private - but it's a fact that as of now, there are no written rules or guidelines for the members to read. I'll leave it at that, it's not my place to go into it any further.

I had to try to register a new account to find these - they are NOWHERE else that I can find. Also notice the date on those - it precedes the IB buyout and the present management. Also, I think if these were enforced strictly, half of us would be banned by now.

It is at the bottom of even page in the Gray menu bar.
As for the SRT-10 video, if the language in the video would not pass the word filter, it should not be posted.
That video was clearly in multiple violations of the word filter.
Yes, assuming that you even HAVE common sense. That's not a universal commodity.
Oh how right you are.

Wow that little booger is hiding down there. You literally have to scroll to the very bottom of the page. Would be easier to find if it were merged into the black bar at the top. Just get rid of Log Out...no one uses that.

Hi, Og. Your 'exchange' of 'ideas' is certainly your opinion. If you had ANY idea how many times I've been asked to remove / lock / delete posts / discontinue religion conversations as of late, you'd be enlightened to my decisions.
Many years ago, previous ownership implemented a rule that religion wasn't going to be discussed. While we've certainly not dropped the hammer there and have the right to enforce what we see fit, I'm frankly getting sick of people hiding behind stupidity as an excuse for what many are posting within the threads that you're referencing.
One of my favorite sayings here is that stupidity isn't an excuse. Several folks - note, I'm not calling names here - have hidden behind this type of a paradigm for a while now. It annoys me and it detracts from our site.
While I have no problems discussing 'current issues' (or, as you say, exchanging ideas about society), I do draw a problem with you failing to realize that the 'exchange' of ideas within that thread has long since played out. There are a couple that are continually stirring the pot, causing problems, and are simply in the thread to do nothing but rattle the cage. We, as the staff, have deleted SEVERAL posts within that thread. As such, it's posing a problem with the site and, a simple and effective way to discontinue the problem is to lock it down, allow it to drift off, and everyone move on with their lives.
As Stealth mentions, we are the staff here. We do have some area outside the TOU and the rules that are agreed to when you signed up. We use that grey area at times to do what we feel is in the best interest of the site, the membership, the sponsorship, and the ownership. This was my application of exactly that - my judgement.
If you wish to further discuss this, you can either PM or email me. As glc has mentioned, we have discussed EXACTLY your percieved problem but, as has been demonstrated, there are some guidelines out there. Unfortunately, we don't operate like all of the sites out there; we have to rely on judgment of the peoples that are in control of the site.
To your question about hitting the highway; it is an option. There are plenty of sites out there to discuss religion with way more 'passionate' folks. This is a truck site with a general discussion forum - not a religion site with a sub truck forum.
