I remember a "how many guns can I stockpile" question.
I think the best answer came from a regular forum user "why don't you just ask your anti gun mates?"

Was that one of them or have I been blocked for my negative reply ?

There are a few real gems though.
There was a registration and first post the other day asking "What is this and how do I get one?"
A part was pictured in its box, with the crystal clear label Glock full-auto conversion kit.
Obviously anyone who had been interested in the Australian shooting scene for more than 2 minutes would know such a thing was unobtainable and illegal in a dozen different ways.

You're a full fledged member of the forum or you're not.
If you no longer see a post you previously saw on the forum it is because it has been removed.
If you get banned you will be told as much when you return to the forum next. We don't do any of this 'ghost ban' stuff.

I think accusing new members of being government or media spies doesn't really help bust that myth.

To be crystal clear, we're not highlighting or calling out novice questions here, or people clarifying a complicated or confusing piece of legislation. It is of course, perfectly sensible to ask these things, and is one of the reasons the forum is here.
The kind of stuff we're talking about in this topic, is not that. Members won't see 99% of it because it gets picked up beforehand, you'll just have to trust us, it's out there
bladeracer wrote:Perhaps we should save those up in a forum of their own?
It's probably not a bad thing to remind our members that these wankers are always out to get us, rather than the mods keeping us insulated from it?

We should attempt to always portray our chosen sport, hobby, pastime in a positive way so as not to add credibility to the anti's argument.
