Forum Rules Reminder

[Alex Svenson]

Gentleman,

I wanted to take this opportunity to go back over some of the basics of the Cigar.com/ Amback.com forum so that everyone is crystal clear of how the forum operates and what the rules and regs are. I will ask everyone to go back and read or reread the rules also.

We are all aware of what some cigar forums out there have become and for a lot of the guys that have been around here for a while there has been a commitment to keep this forum inviting for everyone so we can all share in this wonderful hobby we have.

That said, certain lines must be drawn on content. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and is encouraged to participate actively in all threads. And all opinions must be respected. However, if some threads get out of hand or some opinions create problems for other members and become offensive or just inappropriate people can get warned, kicked off, and threads can be deleated. We want everyone to speak their mind but we need everyone being respectful.

I think the golden rule here is:

EVERYONE MUST DO THEIR BEST TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL WELCOME AND COMFORTABLE ON THE FORUM.

When we make posts we need to examine them before posting to make sure it does not conflict with this rule. If there are any questions about this rule, please refer to the above rule. If anyone is unclear about this rule, please refer to the above rule.

Finally, if this is a rule anyone cant live with, then there are lots of other forums out there that will welcome you with open arms.

Smoke if you got em.

I look at it this way. If you are new to smoking cigars, and this is the place you stumble apon as a forum, this place could make or break your future of smoking cigars. Look at some of the newer members, myself included that have become much more versed in cigars and what goes into a quality cigar. I know I have traveled to a few of the other sites, and in all honesty, if I had just started smoking cogars, and I went into those forums and asked a noob type question, the responses I recieved would have turned me off to the whole hobby itself. I came in here and was embraced as a friend, and in return I have made some truely great friends that I can't wait to sit down and give a firm hand shake and a smile and say "It's been too damn long!!"

I'm also new to the forum and hobby.

In my extensive search on forums this is by far the best/mature/calmest/nicest forum i've seen. Currently, it's the only one I'm a member of anymore.

Last thing I wanna do is read a bunch of bickering and arguing when I come to enjoy a hobby I love.
