I will add to ^^^ by saying that this forum will be evenly ran across the board. No matter if your a paying Vendor, Donating Member, Active User, or a guest. Rules are rules, and they don't change on this forum, based on your income, status or how many friends you have or how much you have contributed. We are still working on getting things in place so that this goal can be achieved.
Every user has a section that cant be seen by anyone but the admins and moderators. When an infraction is found it will be logged so we can keep track of how many infractions each person has. The goal is to make this a fun place for everyone, not a romper room for a few.

With that said, the rules are being worked out as we speak, and I have placed some temp rules to go by in each topic, so please read them, follow them and this will be a great forum to help out the community.
I am a very transparent person, and I think that everything should be on the up and up, so while the details are still being worked I can tell you this. No one will be banned from this site and not know why right up front. I believe in the 3 strikes your out rule, now that does not mean a permanent out. You should have a second chance and it will be given, however if we don't enforce the rules then the rules will not be taken seriously.
Your not going to make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time, but you should at least try to make the bigger majority of the people happy, and not just listen to the loudest voice out there.
This forum is here for you all, and even if Mike N wanted to come over here and see what was going on, I would hope that we could be adults and either welcome him or say nothing at all. Please don't tear it down because of your disagreements with people. Just don't say anything if you cant be civil. Debating is fine, and so is constructive criticism, but there is no need to post lies that are intended to be slanderous.
