Enforcement of those rules is spotty at best. People sell rare craft beers on there all the time.

Exactly - doesn't that make the existence of this forum and others like it more valuable?


If they find ways to block or restrict these forums, I'd say we are headed for very dark times.

My impression is that enforcement happens via users flagging posts, and some regions/cities/CL sections have more assertive "nannies" than others. Also the nannies' knowledge of what is being sold makes a difference. A post selling "DPMS lower parts and accessories" stayed until it sold... :roll:

Have sold reloader led lights there for years and renewing and reposting but last month I got the notice too. Just renewed at that time and it's still up.
