No rules apply here. Fight, bitch and cuss all you want. But if you do have a problem with a member, maybe PM them the link to the topic so they're sure to read it 
Really? And here was me thinking that there were rules.
These are the forum rules in which every member is to abide by. No exceptions.
[SNIPPED]
prime example of the inconsistancy I was talking about.
You have no consistancy here. Whicjh leaves you the scope to kick out who you want when ever you want??
Do yourself a favor and read text before you copy-pasta it (really, you couldn't even click the "Quote" button?). Specifically, take a look at the year I enlarged/bolded in your quote. That post was from 4 years ago. Really irrelevant information.
Not that you're expected to know but AAO25 as you see it today has had a long history, it existed before it was even called AAO25, before it's primary reason for existence was America's Army. It was a forum I ran for fun for friends to get together and bullshit. When Jonny (the original coder of Assist) started gaining momentum with his program, I made a sub-forum for it since he was too lazy to make his own. It grew larger over time and this site morphed into AAO25, the main hub for all things AA 2.5 and Assist. Just because you dig up an old post doesn't mean it has relevance today and this goes for ANYWHERE on the Internet.
If you need to be told what the rules are then you must not have much common sense. Rules across Internet forums are generally similar. If you want specific rules for this forum, your best bet is to look at the TOS agreement in Assist.
I won't deny that there's a lack of consistency. There always has been. Assist has changed hands several times. People come and go, so do admins. The bottom line is, this is a hobby for everyone involved. It's not a job or livelihood. There can't and doesn't always need to be clear-cut black and white rules applying for all scenarios. Whenever the admins are presented with a problem, the best course of action is discussed through level-headed and mature private discussions and, I firmly believe, they/we do a pretty good job given the circumstances.
