Thanks for not nuking whole threads

[7mmsaum]

I dont know why politics and religion are deemed banned topics when as dannyb states that these rules are continually broken - it would appear that there is appetite to discuss political matters that affect the firearms owning community. However it is not the ultravires discussion of these two topics that has resulted in the majority of thread and information deletions. I have seen threads and members removed for discussing Spotlighting, covid, 911, propellant prices, Nordstream, Ukraine, Climate change and thats just what comes to mind as I type. I have also seen members leave because of forum sensor-ship. Member 'Love to Safari' stated that he was leaving this forum and found other forums less censored. Your use and creation of the term 'brotherhood of the levelheaded' is pretty transparent as a derogatory slight and I thank you for making it as it is a clear example of just the sort of deriding comments that should in my opinion be banned

NO Covid/Vaccination Topics or Posts

Admin at NZHS have decided that Covid and Vaccination related topics or posts have no place on this forum, they ultimately issue in arguments and detract from the Hunting and Shooting atmosphere here.

As Covid is no longer appropriate on this Forum Admin will remove any members or posts deemed to be involving the topic.

Admin encourage you to get your health information from appropriate sources, not anonymous people on a forum that's unrelated to the subject.

For some time contentious and divisive subjects unrelated to hunting have dominated and it's clear they do more harm than promoting productive, informative or enjoyable conversation.

Complicated subjects like foreign and local politics, religion, climate change, social inequalities, racism, human rights etc which warrant in depth conversation should be conducted elsewhere, in a forum dedicated to these subjects. These subjects are not what people are looking for when they search for and visit this Forum.

Off topic subjects are intended to be an asset to this Forum, often as light hearted engaging conversation.

If at times you find something inappropriate then report it, don't insult the person, don't get involved, just report it to Admin, they will sort it, behind the scenes, at the appropriate time, it might not be at a time that suits you, but it will have been assessed and sorted.

The NZHS Forum aims to provide a mature environment which promotes legal, responsible firearms practises. The discussion or promotion of illegal activities is prohibited and members may not post abusive, defamatory or otherwise objectionable content - this includes any grieviences with authorities or firearms dealers, as such matters are best kept between the parties involved.

Again this Forum is not the place to raise these problems AS THEY CANNOT BE SOLVED HERE. Take it up with the vendor, Consumer affairs or whatever Administrative Tribunal is appropriate.

If you see a post in breach of the above, or any Moral or ethical breach, we ask that you report it to Admin.

The content of this post is not up for debate and we are not seeking input on its pros or cons or to explain or justify.
