They changed the lounge, it's only viewable if logged in. Earlier it was viewable when not logged in. Screen shot below is of where it normally should be.

Yep, seems like you have to be logged on to view the lounge now.nateb006 said:Might only be viewable for those logged in now? Screen shot below is of where it normally should be.
Guess they think it will keep the 'rif raff' out.
It wouldn't surprise me if they do away with the lounge soon, though.
If that were to happen, it would just create more misc. chit chat throughout the other areas.

Just created a user account over on LRO and below is the first thing I see from AF Don. I have just one question. Is he is related to Colonel Klink?

All right... listen up and listen good. This place is going to change and its going to start today.
Effective immediately, the past is the past. There is way too much BS floating around to sort out anything of who did what to whom.
Forum Rules have been previously posted, however, it seems taht they were not explicit enough or some people felt they did not apply to them.
The following Rules of Engagement apply now, to everyone, and breaking them is grounds for immediate disciplinary action.
1. Be respectful of others: Personal attacks and insults will not be tolerated. If you don't agree with a post, focus your argument on that post, NOT the person who posted it. All opinions are welcome; disagreements and debates between members are expected on any forum, but we must insist that each member show respect when stating their opinion and respect other members' rights to their own opinions in return. Stalking, harassment or threats in posts will result in a ban.
2. Do not make hateful, racist, or discriminatory comments: Posts that target an individual or group based on gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability/handicap, politics or religion are strictly prohibited. Expressions of intolerance or hatred are subject to warning/infraction/ban without notice.
3. Do not post offensive or shocking content. This includes material is anything that could be considered inappropriate, indecent, gross, or offensive in mixed company, or could compromise the reader if seen on their computer screen by others.
4. Do not insult our readers with offensive language or images: Profanity and explicit, obscene, or vulgar language, graphics, or similar behavior is unnecessary. Language filters are in place, but are limited. Vulgar language not included in the filters should not be construed as acceptable. Circumvention of this policy will subject the poster to warning/infraction/ban at staff discretion.
5. Do NOT post complaints about forum staff, warnings/infractions/bans or site policies. Direct these matters to any Administrator or Moderator privately via PM and allow time for them to respond.
6. The Lounge forum does not mean 'anything goes': ALL other forum rules still apply! Discussion of religion is NOT permitted due to the volatility of that topic. Such posts/threads are subject to removal and warning/ infraction/ ban. Politics can be equally volatile and only those discussions that remain respectful will be permitted to continue, however, that permission may be permanently revoked if problems persist.
7. Do not 'hijack' threads: The subject of a thread is determined by the original poster. Interrupting that discussion is rude and makes it difficult to find posts that are pertinent to the thread topic. Hijack posts may be removed.
8. Solicitations: This member base is not a source to be "mined" for any purpose, including sales, fundraisers, raffles, or donations by individuals, groups, or businesses, for profit or non-profit, without prior permission or authority.
9. Respect the privacy of fellow members: Do NOT post any private communications or contact information.
10. Each member is allowed ONE user account. If there is a problem with your user name contact an Administrator by PM. All IP addresses are logged and viewable by Moderators and Administrators.
11. Misrepresentation will not be tolerated: This includes creation of multiple accounts for purposes of deception or conflict avoidance.

WTF is #3 about? Mixed company? According the #2 everyone is equal and is to be treated the same then they contradict it by using the term "mixed company".

Thats funny... who is really being protected here?? The only communications that were posted were ones that helped prove the scam.
Thats awesome... dont complain, just click the ads
The 'allow time for them to respond' is a nice touch too since by all the other mods own words, they never hear from the admin for months.

"allow time for them to respond"= "we'll address it once we have deleted the post and covered our own asses"
For anyone that would like to voice their opinions with Admin Don, below is his contact information. The main number is for verticalscope, the parent company that runs the site.

Like they won't figure out it's you with that name?
Should have gone right over their heads and used something creative, like "Captain Obvious".
