I don't think there is an AR section there either.

Surely "going nowhere" is not a reason for locking threads? Plenty of threads die a natural death do they not? As long as the usual suspects don't name call and get insulting and personal then what's the harm?

Maybe we could just have "pretendy" added to the "bad word" filter so that it gets replaced with say "Look-a-like" "facsmile" or some other non offensive phrase or word? razz :good:

How about you just let threads run - and allow the banter and opinions ! No rules were broken in the last thread to be locked. It was popular and getting lots of posts. Yet it was locked as a mod felt it "was going nowhere".
Yet there were more comments and interaction than any other thread I can ever remember reading here........

Honestly. Given some of the bigoted narrow minded racism to be found in some areas of this forum, it's incredible how picky some of the moderating can be on threads discussing firearms.

What we don't see sometimes though is the moderator baiting that goes on too, it's not surprising some grumpy decisions get made from time to time.

Whatever is being said in GOM is accepted to a higher degree than compared to the rest of the forum. Don't forget that GOM is access only if you have asked for it. Own choice.
The rest of the forum can be read by the public.

Have to agree - baiting has occurred by members and a mod.

Having said that, I am the first to accept the decision not to have an AR section - I felt compelled to put forward my thoughts on the matter and the 3 solutions, have the sub section, accept the banter or stop the trolling.

But, the decision has been made and I guess we have to accept that.

As an owner of a straight pull AR rifle and a CSR shooter I don't think we need a separate section. This forum wouldn't be my go-to place for AR-15 advice as there other places out there already.
However it would be nice if in the future when forum members ask for information, advice etc about the AR platform we can all offer help in a constructive manner the same way we would if they were asking about any other type of rifle.

It would also be nice when talking about the AR platform we didn't get people trolling with comments about "pretendy" rifles, if they haven't "a dog in this fight" they should stay out of the discussion.

As has been stated umpteen times already if the straight pull AR discussions stay sensible and don't descend into the pure maker championing and "my marque is better than your marque" competition that has been the hallmark of these threads in the past then there will be no need for staff to intervene and take action. Straight pull AR threads have a lot of "previous history" on and off forum, which members don't see, they cause us more grief than any other topic on here so they are watched with an expectation of them becoming advertising fashion shows and maker promotions therefore a zero tolerance approach is taken to such threads, staff have a "dog" in every thread, it is our business here. Discuss informatively, accept staff decisions, whether you like them or not, without rancour and such threads will gain respect and confidence in them not going downhill and all will be well. I know some people do that but it only takes one to spoil it.
