Rule 4 which previously stated.
stay within the topic area of the forum you are posting a message in. All post are subject to being moved if off topic for the parent forum.
Has been changed to.
If you create a topic it is your responsibility to provide the content to keep your thread on-topic. You will keep topics within the appropriate sub-forum. Taking a topic off-topic to purposefully offend/troll the original poster will not be tolerated.
It has 3 points to it.
1. The user is responsible for keeping their thread on topic. If you start a thread that is one sentence long and expect people to stay on that topic for 5 pages based off your one sentence you are wrong. You need to provide the members with something to discuss.
2. As always please start your threads in the right sub-forum. I.E. Shotgun threads go in the shotgun forum. Boat threads go in the boat forum.
3. Taking someone's thread off topic on purpose is against the rules. Have some respect for the poster if you know that they want their thread to stay on topic and it has content don't derail it on purpose.
I have spent the last few days thinking about this issue and this, at least to me is a good common sense approach to handling this issue. The rules can be found here.
