this will be slightly off topic, but the other thread is closed and it may be a reason that the forum is dead, so i'll ask the question here:

Vulgar language, images and other offensive material including, but not limited to, race, nudity or pornography is not tolerated here. The Honda Civic Forum staff shall be the sole judges of what does and what does not violate the boards standards.
2.
While debating and discussion is fine, respect your fellow enthusiasts. Being of a diverse background, members are likely to express different opinions, and while opinions may differ from yours, they are just that, opinions; and everyone is entitled to express theirs freely. We will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, or personal attacks. Do not flame, bother, bug, disrespect, hound or taunt ANYONE on the forums or through private messaging or chat room. If we feel a thread is getting out of hand we will close or delete it. You can/will lose your posting privileges if you continue this type of behavior.
3.
"Trolls or Trolling", "Flames" and/or "Board Wars" are not tolerated here or elsewhere. Posts that taunt or are otherwise inflammatory against other sites will be removed. Also, anyone found to be making inflammatory posts and remarks on other forums (starting Flame/Board Wars) can and will loose their posting privileges here. This rule also applies to those that, for whatever reason, feel a need to post negative remarks about this site on other forums. If you do, don't expect to be welcome here.
4.
Double posting is not allowed and can result in the deletion of one or both posts. Double posting is defined as posting the same information in two or more separate forums. We understand that some topics might fit into more than one forum. Please try to pick the best one. In addition, please do not post in the same thread back to back (another version of double posting), if you have something more to add, edit your post, don't post twice in a row in a thread.
9.
Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed and can quite possibly result in both accounts being removed without notice.
13.
The moderators and administrators of hondacivicforum.com have the right to edit/open/close/move/delete any thread or post. Moderators and Administrators have final word in anything and everything. If you have a problem or a complaint direct it to them, not to the general forums. They will then take the appropriate actions. This applies to issues with the forum in general, as well as issues with other members.
14.
We ask that members keep in mind membership is a privilege, NOT a right, and as a private forum, the administration and moderators have total say as to which members are, and are not allowed. The same rule applies for single posts and threads, and anything deemed to be inappropriate by any member of the staff will be removed. Members who continue to ignore this rule will be removed with no possibility of return.
Have I proven my point?
The thread Kenny linked to was pretty much filled with him insulting and/or harassing not only myself and Tony, but several other members, resulting in a flame war until it got locked.""""""
those rules make perfect sense to me, and are very reasonable of course.
however, it's just that when i apply this set of rules to the other thread, it seems to me that the mods should've locked the thread about ten pages ago. and it also seems that since the thread wasn't locked, a lot of people ended up fighting and being rude. i totally understand that the op on the other thread was banned (which is for the best) but shouldn't about, i don't know, like five other members be banned too along with several mods for being almost just as rude?
this is how i'm reading into the rules, correct me if i'm wrong of course
