That is indeed true, and it's also up to Phil to determine how and when to enforce them. I can't speak for Phil, but if it were me I'd be a lot more concerned with self appointed deputies running around making not so veiled threats against other users in my name than I would be with the occasional off-topic post. But thats just meHe does set the rules..
Granted that people who just post pics to show off their dogs/cats/cars/etc. should do so in the "Samples & Galleries" forum, it only makes sense to do so.

That's an idea. If posting pics is a problem, though no mention has been made in this forum, I see nothing wrong with a direct link. Lots of folks do that anyway. I tend to not post many pics here because of reading the guidelines when I first found this forum. So far, seems much ado about nothing.
Into every group, a little posting cop must fall. It must be a law of the 'net because the little busy bodies are everywhere. We've been pretty lucky here -- until today.That is indeed true, and it's also up to Phil to determine how andHe does set the rules..

I have been known to pack a piece at times. But then again, I have
a tendency to go way goofy. Maybe we could alternate weeks.

I'm the one who said he doesn't like the auto picture posting.
War? There is no war, simply obfuscation by the opposition. This is merely a police action, nothing more. All we will demand -- erm, ask for (cough, cough) -- is a sniffer on every 'net connection, a live cam in every bathroom, and ownership of the mind/body/soul of your first born. Then we can clean up this little misunderstanding re: errorism in no time flat. Oh, yeah! I forgot to mention that couple billion for my personal account. I'll need that for odds and ends.
Nah, that just sounds too ominous. You're right though, maintaining a group of forums can sometimes seem a lot like raising a brood of kids. I think much of the success of these forums is in a large part due to Phil's masterful parenting skills
In this instance things boiled over to such a point in a particular forum that people began to whine and complain to the point that he was forced to step away from more important tasks and crack the whip. At the end of the day, common sense will prevail and things will continue much as they have been as long as we kids make a reasonable effort to behave ourselves.
