I'd really like to know what's so crazy about the rules... every place you go to in your daily life has rules, too... let me run through these

These rules can and will be updated as is deemed necessary.
Consequences for violating these rules will range from a warning to suspensions, and in extreme cases, a permanent ban from the club forums.
Thank you for your support of the NJFBOA.

Not a war forum... fair enough, flame wars are retarded
No personal attacks... only trouble comes from them
Offensive language.... this is where everyone's problems seem to lie, I'll come back to it
Conduct yourselves in a mature manner.... hey, most people here need practice with that anyway.
No porn - google it in, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for
Report posts... I know that IMO getting a third party to mediate any potential confrontations is the easiest, least stressful and most fair solution
So with the language.... honestly, what's the big deal. It's very rare for something to completely and totally warrant a necessity to swear... if you think about it for a minute, the only reason people curse is for: lack of a better word, while thinking of what they'll say next, or for emphasis. If you wanna disagree here's examples...
"That's f****** up," "I'll "f*****.... take your f****** head and f******.... beat the s*** out of you," or "Jesus f****** christ, I wanna throw a diet can through that ricer's window"
Honestly, the less cursing you do the more intelligent you come off as to other people, whether the intelligence is actually there or not.
I know I myself would rather be part of something big, a name people know, which has a good reputation and awesome events than a bunch of people just sitting around doing the same stuff week after week, month after month. And who here wouldn't want to have shots at magazine coverage and big cash and trophy prizes?
I've made a lot of good friends through this club and had a lot of fun times, and I sure as hell am thankful for that. So the way I see it is, the more the club grows, the better things get for everybody. Nobody's saying you can't still hang out with the people you always have, no one's saying you're forced to invite 4578278948325634 people to your apartment for a party as opposed to the normal 10 or 15. I guess I just see the benefits of more publicity, more people, more opportunities outweighing cursing somebody out in every post.
You've gotta make sacrifices in life for anything you do, and that's the bottom line.
