just asking a general question here, just wondering if people have actually ever bothered to read the rules that you agree to every time you post.

They cover a great deal of different things that help a public forum such as CS to work to benefit all.

From the rules listed below:
Such as:
No flooding. This causes other threads of members to sink down the lists and get missed by readers. Be considerate, use common sense and enter a reasonable number of threads per day

and of course the all important:

Think before you post! Posts should be considered permanent. A wide audience views these forums. Your profile and posts represent you to viewers. You will be judged by your words. Don’t ask to have them removed.


just puzzles me if people even read the rules that's all, they are there for the benefit of us all
dunno

Anyone can complain about a post. Generally if the mods dont like something thats said they can and will remove a post. They dont make a habit or practise of removing people.

Forums are for debate - thats part of the fun of them... cool

Yep....

some people are fake ... and generally they get picked out very quickly.

Most people are actually real and come across exactly how they are in real life.

JMO cheers

most people can post in a forum without reading the rules, they are polite and courteous of others feelings.

But some just might a gentle reminder that as in life, courtesy goes along way

hug Shell, yep there are a few people in here that come across real, and it is a pleasure to get to know them through the forum, if not in personcheers

I have read the rules ,I think everyone should, ofcourse we are all adults and should be able to say what we feel , sometimes others dont agree with our views but that part of a forum it does not mean people dont like you etc etc it just means we have different views on subjects.I think its more important to read the thread and the post rather than skimming ova it .... ive been guilty of that and have taken statments out of context , then after having a spit realized ...oops wine
