The data points listed below really seem to back that up. ☕

@analogbear40, don't sweat it—no point being a stickler for the rules when we're just hanging out. I’d treat them more like suggestions.

Just a heads-up—I’m not an admin, just someone watching from the sidelines.
They should, but they don't because they hold the majority. The issue is these debates always end up running in circles—eventually, you just get threads filled with nothing but insults and bickering. It usually gets handled the easy way since, let's face it, even admins have actual lives to lead.
Personally, all I care about is the off-topic stuff cluttering the "sanctions on Russia" thread. We rarely get any actual substance regarding the sanctions themselves anyway. It wasn't completely off-topic, but it wasn't exactly focused either. There’s a general lounge for general chatter.
Anyway, don't let them bait you—just stick to the topic. Even I catch bans sometimes, but that's only because I'm the one throwing insults, which is against the rules.
I’m not even tripping about what you actually wrote, but you totally derailed the "sanctions on Russia" thread into some weird off-topic mess—and naturally, the usual pro-Ukraine crowd jumped all over it. Take a look here.
Casey Bennett said:Is there a specific penalty listed for sleeping with a fellow forum member's immediate family? Go ahead, drop a link right here showing where it says "it is forbidden to sleep with other users' close relatives." But honestly, if you actually went through with it, what kind of fallout do you think you'd face? Unless you're bluecyclist64, I suppose—isn't that how it works on Anderlon? 😁 He's being quite poetic about it, isn't he? 🙏
And what if instead of their family, they decide to hook up with you?

Just a quick refresher—between 2017 and 2021, 48% of Russia's arms export revenue came from fighter jets, 16% was from engines (mostly jet engines), and 12% was from missiles. Tanks and armored vehicles weren't even a major player, and stuff like Kalashnikovs? That’s pocket change. Those rifles were built to be mass-produced anyway, and we all know the original isn't necessarily the gold standard.
