http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=250981 This is a link for the sale of Hitler and Mussolini cards. Are they OK to sell?

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=250405 This is a link for a KKK item. Should this be allowed?

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=248032 This is a link for a N card of Stonewall Jackson. Are confederate items allowed?

Just curious, Rick

Actually you are trying to stir the pot. I liken it to when someone says "excuse me I don't mean to interrupt." Bullcrap, you did too. So just say you are trying to stir the pot, as that is what you are doing....whether you say you are or not.

At any rate I looked at all 3 of those links and don't see big issues. It is not one size fits all. That said the KKK item, had I seen it on the front end I probably wouldn't have allowed it. The OP did say he would take it down if it offended folks.
Confederate items will usually be allowed, if that hurts your feelings, so sorry.
And as for the cards mentioned, not much different than Horror of War cards.

Other than that I don't want to see Natzi items for sale on the board, any kind of gun that still works or any live munitions. I hate censorship more than anything but these items aren't going to be sold on this board. It's just as simple as that. And if anyone sees any, I am only a PM away and will always act on situations.

Great policies all around.

I don't know how everyone around here defines "stirring the pot," but I thought Rick's questions were good ones. I'm glad he asked them, and I'm glad to have the clarification since it turns out that the ostensibly simple rule has some important exceptions.

They were good questions but just stirred the pot a little. Howard (hi Howard) probably wouldn't have said that if there was no thought of it.
Generally speaking I don't like rules. That is why there is not a lot of black and white rules on the board. Some things are set in stone but not specifically spelled out, such as Natzi stuff, guns, live munitions and there is more, I am sure. Do we have to say there is no pornography allowed? (as there wouldn't be) I prefer to manage by exception and not have a lot of blanket rules. Other forums operate differently. I am not sure there is a right or wrong way.

Thanks, Leon. I appreciate your answers. I don't like the Nazi stuff or the KKK stuff, but to me, the cards that contain those items as part of the set are OK. My feeling on the Confederate items is that I don't care one way or another. I just like rules to be a little more defined, but I really am not getting my panties in a bunch over any of this.

I never thought about the pornography aspect. I will have to check into that a little closer.

Thanks,

Rick

Thanks for chiming in everyone. There are other venues for such items.

So if someone tried to sell a copy of Playboy #1 that would not be allowed?? I'm guessing that the "rules" are not cut and dry and there are exceptions to everyone of them.

I think Leon's point is there are no rules... with exceptions.
