I have an idea, go to another Treasure forum, break their rules and tell them "hey free speech here when called on it, see how that goes for you......

Take a joke guys.But in all seriousness anything,except porn,should be able to be posted,of course though where kids cant get into it if i unless a certain age.If a thread gets out of hand,delete the thread.Its pretty simple and straight forward.I agree this thread promoted something that could kill you.

Try walking into a private business and post pictures on their wall telling the owner when he tells you to stop "hey free speech here

Actually i have done that,I was a union organizer and it was my right and the workers right

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Red, start your own forum then you can set your own rules. TN has it's own rules..

 

[Red James Cash]

awww come on treasure hunter,i know you dont mean that. cheer up have a beer.I know you would miss me too much.

A few preach about rights as an American, yet they feel the owner of a private business in America is not allowed to set the rules and procedures for operating their privately own business.... Try walking into a private business and post pictures on their wall telling the owner when he tells you to stop "hey free speech here"....See how that goes over....Try going into a gun shop and post anti-gun posters on their walls and when they tell you to stop tell them "free speech here", let us know how that works....

This isnt political?

The problem you are faced with, moderators, is that for so very long there was the Rubber Room.

It had been here for years. You can disagree, but I know where the forum is archived on the web, so it is true.

Now that you have all of us folks who were allowed to discuss politics, religion, and the like have been forced out it will come out from time to time.

Yes, there is a link between the lifestyle of a treasure hunter and the ideals of the founding fathers of this country. Free speech and all.

Add to that the Yo-Yo mentality of "Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics","Yes you can discuss politics", "No you can't discuss politics" over the last several years (Marc couldn't make up his mind) and you have the problem you keep running into.

Yes the rules have changed, and seem more stable, but the policies invited the very people you are now trying to push out of the forum.

Perhaps the management wasn't aware of the past history of this forum. If they were, it would explain why politics is so strong in some here. And yes, politics IS related to what we do. Laws are made to restrict some of our efforts. Restrictions on metal detecting in some communities, claiming lands that were once open as now being a Federal Property thus removing it from use by treasure hunters working signs, and the list could go on.

The problem is self created, so why be so anal about it?

good gravy delete this thread and forget about these people trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over to change the forum rules. And throw the constitution in your face every time they break a rule on a private forum. The stupidity is amazing.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

You remember the old rubber room then you also remember that Marc closed it and locked it because of all the problems it caused. There was no rubber room when site was sold and bougct

New owners have said no politics and that is the rule. Management has said no politics and members that refuse to follow the rules can be banned...Using the excuse that troubles are here because we don't allow politics want work, we can just ban those who refuse to follow TN rules..

Just for reference, am I following rules?

Yes, Marc closed it several times . . . but it was opened a bunch of times as well, otherwise it couldn't have been closed umpteen times.

I understand what you are saying, I'm just stating why you folks have such a time with political posts showing up. Old Habits Are Hard To Break . . . sounds like a country song, 'cause it is.

 

[FarmerChick]

what folks?

it doesn't matter about the forum members.

forum rules are no politics.

plain and simple.




for me I do political stuff on sites that allow it. I come here NOT to see it. And I want the NO politicis forum rules here absolutely to be in force!



Old habits die hard? simple situation, even if you posted politics in the politics forum on TN before, the new rules say NO.

HOW HARD is it to comply?
not like you gotta think it thru. or find a new way of doing it. or anything else. NO is no. private forum, private rules.

I'm sitting here sipping on a Moose Drool and I'm in full agreement with FarmerChick and the moderators. Plus I have an idea. Those of you that want to talk politics, the constitution and whatever, why not use the telephone and call each other. Nearly everyone but me has a phone plan so the cost would be nothing and you could really get into some great discussions about this site and anything else that turns you on. And Red, I apologize for being so harsh with you the other day. You obviously are very passionate about a lot of subjects and I was clearly in the wrong. I am ashamed of myself.
You know, this Montana brown ale is pretty good. Think I'll have another. The grocery here has plenty...

 

[releventchair]

No moose drool here,just a coffee cup from their brewery, mods been more than fair with me, whether i like house rules does not matter. As a guest i,m free to leave. I don,t feel my rights are slighted ,other forums while not fair to compare, tire of the arguments and passions involved. Plenty of other topics here to get riled up about at times. "Take it outside " stands for politics, i know the rule.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Moose Drool, Mmmmmmm... I love MD, use to have a trucker bringing it to me till she retired
I'm down to my last case.... I discovered it While in Yellowstone on vacation. Wish I could get it on tap .

 

[ticm]

I think this is all a bunch of Moose drool.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Lets make it clear.......No politics, door is closed on politics per owners. Last time Marc closed Rubber Room door it was closed and locked. New owners have said NO POLITICS....

Owners have also told mods any member that can't accept the rules and tries to continue to keep pushing the politics issues after being warned can be banned.

Thread and subject is closed.
